  • Terrific sound quality, Impressive ANC, Seamless multipoint connectivity, Good battery life
  • App setup is cumbersome, Touch controls not remappable, Pricey
  • The Sony WF-1000 XM5 earbuds come at a price, currently set at Rs 24,990. Nevertheless, the features and audio quality they offer are hard to match by any other TWS earphones out there. Some might argue that the earbuds' ANC isn't quite on the same level...

  • The 1000x series had to grow on me, but I think Sony's earbuds in particular have really impressed me. They've really developed their sound into something that isn't so constricted. There are necessary enhancements like the new “Find Your EQ” option, rede...

  • Awkward eartip fit and finicky 360 Reality Audio personalization issues aside, the Sony WF-1000XM5 are a major step up in sound quality to my ears. They offer one of the best sounding wireless earbud experience I've heard, and the elite noise cancelation...

  • Easy to set up and start using, Several tip sizes included, Very effective noise cancellation, Solid battery life even with noise canceling
  • Mic quality sounds a bit tinny, Turning off noise cancellation magnifies other sounds, Calls can disrupt audio connections, In-ear design gets uncomfortable for extended periods

  • Fantastic sound, Superb noise cancellation, Easier to wear than last generation, More comfortable than the WF1000XM4, too, Smaller and more compact, Technically supports headtracked spatial audio
  • Headtracked spatial audio is limited to Android and 360 Reality Audio (and it's still not great), Controls are uninspired, Expensive
  • In previous years, Sony's earphones were a leap ahead of the competition. In fact, that has largely been the case for almost a decade.Ever since the MDR-1000X burst onto the scene in 2016, Sony has shown that it has the tech to take on the best, giving Bo...
