Sony WF-1000XM5 Earbuds 🎧🔥 | InsideTech Review.
Apologies for the inconsistent voice over on this one, I was losing my voice but did my best!
Sony used to consistently rank at the top of earbuds lists and even held the noise cancelling crown in the past. They have a great reputation, but the industry has since moved on very quickly and they’ve started to fall behind the competition. Sony calls their new WF-1000XM5 the ‘best noise cancelling headphones’…which is a pretty bold claim in 2023.
This video will look at everything the earbuds have to offer, what’s changed from the mark 4s and crucially…how these actually compare to the rest of the market.
If you (like me) find that the Sony ear tips don’t fit very well, try these instead:

ok so day 1 of wearing the new XM5’s & im honestly disappointed…firstly the noise cancelling is not as good as the XM4’s & my guess is it’s due to the fit not being as snug so I guess the passive NC is way worse…
Also wtf happened to the voice over?!! I found that super useful, the voice prompt would tell me how much battery I had left , which device I’m connected to & also which sound mode I selected..All now Gone which for me is super annoying & a huge fail from Sony.
Look it’s day 1 so maybe I need to tinker with them but being totally honest right now, I wish I’d kept my XM4’s…Sorry Sony but I’m not happy.
The original WF-1000xm5 tips have an integral earwax guard screen. The SonicFoam tips do not have that screen. I am concerned about using a $300 IEM with no wax guard at all.
Just got them today. Fit seems fine and I left the default on. I had the M4 and returned them because they sounded good but was just too big. These are better for sure. They sound great as well, but the piano black was a big mistake IMO. I will know by the end of the week if they are going back. I also have the Linkbuds S and they are great for the money. These will have to really blow me away for me to keep them @ $300. 4's didn't make the cut so well see about the 5's.
i feel like foam eartips really hurt ANC.
can anyone confirm?
12:11 I thought I was the only one and it’s the same thing with the wh-1000xm5 headphones as well.
Hey! Is there any possibility to see your spreadsheet with ranks?
Fantastic review ❤, thank you
First off…Nice video. Really informative.
My question is
.
Where version of the eartips did you get? There are different hole sizes that are labled SF0, SF1, SF2 and SF3.
My guess is either SF2 or 3
Hi 🙂 I just picked up the link buds S 2 days ago and I am pretty pleased so far, I was really close to buy these XM5 instead, but my use case is mostly audiobooks and calls so I went for the cheaper alternative. I think it is kinda crazy how much difference in price between these 2 there is. thx for the vid
I'm really happy to have found this channel recently, you are pretty much the only one I trust when it comes to earbuds.
Great review. I took these back. Call quality was really bad for me even after the update. Regarding anc. It's been proven that once u switch the tips the anc performance drops massively. (there is a korean YouTube video which goes into detail on this) so u suspect that is why u rank then low for anc. For me anc was great but the fit so so bad. I just don't like the foam tips and switching meant lacklustre anc. Sound as u mentioned is fantastic but I completely agree that right now the linkbuds s is better value. Even technics have overtaken Sony in my opinion.
