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
Refined sound quality, Exceptional comfort, Top tier noise cancelling, Small and discrete, Long battery life,

Sony's latest earbuds are state-of-the-art listening devices that deliver unparalleled comfort and noise cancelling capability in a truly wireless earbud style...
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

Sony's fifth generation of its once market-leading noise-cancelling Bluetooth earbuds are its smallest, lightest and most comfortable yet. But while they still have some of the most effective noise-cancelling on the market, they are beaten by Bose. The WF...
Abstract: Sony's WF-1000XM5 are the most hotly anticipated earbuds of the year, and because the leaks regarding their smaller size have proved genuine, it's an open goal for Sony, right? They're 25% smaller and 20% lighter than the older class-leaders, but boast th...
Sony was always on a hiding to nothing with the WF-1000XM5 - get it wrong and it's a major story, get it right (yet again) and it's no more than we all expected. But while the company hasn't got it ‘wrong' exactly, the WF-1000XM5 aren't the consummate all...
