Sony WF-1000XM5 Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth in Ear Earbuds with Mic, Up to 36 Hours Battery Life - Black

This is the best ANC earbuds you can buy. Better then apple earbuds. I use it almost all places like office, workout, flight etc. very good fit. The call quality is great on this. And when you are using this in flight you can feel the difference. Adaptive noise cancellation is great. There are tons of features in it. You just need to explore.I bought it during 2024 Diwali sale. Got it for 11500/- but that was very lucky. After that the price never came down more than 15K which is also great.I would strongly recommend this for daily use.Music quality is way above then anything in this segment.Sound clarity is great during calls.Charging is great. Keeps atleast 4-5 days including box. Fast charging is there and also wireless charging is a +1.Connectivity is great with any android or IOS device with multi point connection which seemlessly switch between two devices.Design is great and good to carry.

Review after 2 years of usageI have a Daily usage of about 1~2 hours.Audio quality is excellent. Battery is great. I charge the case every week once and have not noticed any pattern change.Noise cancellation on these earbuds is not as great as the sony noise cancelling headphone but is okay. On aeroplanes the cancellation is okayish. You can still head stuff.Mic quality is good. Have taken office calls with this.Overall good premium purchase if you can afford this.

Overall: Excellent noise cancellation and sound quality, but frustrating pre-order experience and missing promotional item.(4 star for this product and less than 0 for other delivery and support)Pros:Best-in-class noise cancellation: Effectively blocks out ambient sound, making them ideal for noisy environments.Exceptional sound quality: Clear and balanced audio with powerful bass and crisp highs.Comfortable fit: Ergonomically designed earbuds stay secure in your ears even during extended listening sessions.Long battery life: Up to 36 hours of playback time with the charging case.Cons:Delays and communication gaps: I experienced numerous delays in receiving my order and encountered significant communication gaps throughout the process.Pre-order issues: Many customers reported missing promotional items and delays in communication from Amazon.Invalid coupon: After multiple buyers reported similar issues, Amazon provided a coupon code to claim the speaker. However, the code turned out to be invalid, adding to the frustration.Limited communication avenues: Difficulty reaching anyone beyond customer service for assistance. The lack of transparent communication and escalation channels was deeply frustratingDelivery : My attempts to resolve the missing speaker issue were met with delays, communication gaps, and unhelpful responses. I was repeatedly told the correct product was delivered, and no action was takeRecommendation:While the WF-1000XM5 earbuds offer exceptional sound quality and noise cancellation, the frustrating pre-order experience and missing promotional items detract from the overall purchase experience. While I appreciate the coupon code gesture, the invalid code further amplified the disappointment. If you can get past these issues, the earbuds themselves are excellent. However, if you value a smooth and reliable purchasing experience, you may want to consider other options. This review is based on my personal experience and may not reflect the experience of others. I encourage potential buyers to read other reviews and research the product thoroughly before making a purchase

Let me break it down1. The case only charges buds 2 times. The bud usually last 5-6hrs so in a day you have to charge the buds twice and case once.2. The buds fit ear perfectly but small fatigue if wore more than 4hrs.3. The ANC is good at medium noises, but heavy noises hard to cancel.4. The touch button functions are not configurable, the app is slight good.5. Call and voice quality needs to be checked will update after.
