  • 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...

  • Balanced, detailed and perky sound,Thoroughly specified, Useful, extensive and stable control app,Small, light and comfortable design,
  • Slightly inhibited dynamics, Unremarkable noise-cancellation, Unremarkable-er call quality, Ordinary battery life,
  • 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...

  • Exceptional ANC abilities, Superb sound quality, Wonderfully comfortable fit
  • Companion app could be easier to get around, Some materials don't feel as luxurious as others
  • Sony already made some of the most well-rounded ANC earphones around, but the WF-1000XM5 nudges the firm back into class-leading territory. These are as phenomenally good at silencing the outside world as the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, and arguably bet...

  • Improved design, Adaptive Sound Control remains superb, Impressive features and app
  • Better ANC available elsewhere, Only minor audio improvements, Slightly dearer than the XM4
  • Turkish billionaire Husnu Ozyegin once said, “getting to the top is not so easy; staying there is more difficult”, and that's something Sony has achieved in recent years in the world of true wireless headphones.But that position at the top isn't as clear-...
