Sony WF-1000XM5 Noise-Canceling True Wireless In-Ear Headphones
Immerse yourself in your music without losing touch with the outside world with the silver Sony WF-1000XM5 Noise-Canceling True Wireless In-Ear Headphones. This latest upgrade to Sony's flagship earbuds includes several enhancements and upgrades including a redesigned ear bud and charging case that's smaller and lighter, as well as an adjusted eartip angle and foam eartips for the ultimate in comfort.
The WF-1000XM5 features the Integrated Processor V2 for audio clarity and active noise cancellation, while three microphones in each earbud actively cancel out distracting ambient sounds. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology is ideal when trying to enjoy audio outdoors or near other people, but sometimes you still need to connect with the world around you. To this end, you can activate Ambient Sound Control to let the environment back in, or use the handy Speak-to-Chat function to automatically reduce music volume and ANC filtering by simply speaking.
Robust connectivity and exceptional audio reproduction are essential in a pair of true wireless earbuds, and the WF-1000XM5 delivers with support for Hi-Res Audio and an optimized Bluetooth connection that streams directly to each earbud. This connection helps to reduce skipping and keeps audio in sync when you're streaming videos. Add in mics with bone-conduction sensors, and you have a set of headphones that can entertain you with clear audio and let you communicate with others throughout your day with clear conversations.

Can the Sony WF-1000 XM5 be used as a hearing aid by passing the ambient sounds through, amplified? I cannot figure out how to make that work...

[@Fredo.heavyy]

after long term use my XM5 don't have reliable aware mode, wether is because of moisture or something else. Not sure about the hearing aid functionality but just a heads up.

[@Hijynx87]

You're going to want airpods pro 2, but you need an iphone for that feature.

[@mm-hl7gh]

at 2:55 whats the little black things in the middle ? why dont you mention these ?

[@Fredo.heavyy]

Those are adapter piece for certain earbuds like Samsung galaxy buds, they're not need with XM5

[@mm-hl7gh]

Ahhh 😂 Thanks!

[@Hijynx87]

They are meant for thin nozzle iems like Etymotic or Shure.

[@randolfabad759]

Do the ear tips weaken the ANC of the XM5? I already tried silicone ear tips on my XM5, but the ANC was weakened dramatically. However, I wanted to change to silicone because my ears get irritated quickly by the foam tips of the XM5.

[@rudyzulkarnaen1633]

I tried the Azla MAX and FOAMAX for my WF1000xm5. The original tips still delivered way superior ANC compared to the Azla. What I don't understand is why Sony didn't sell replacement eartips in case the supplied one completely worn off.

[@amityahav7423]

Does the XM5 fit well enough in the ear for strength workouts? I currently using the AirPods Pro and they fit very well. I'm not sure that the Sonys will fit good as the AirPods..

[@Wyeynee]

Depends on your ears..... Noise cancellation for me in airpods is nothing as compared to xm5 .. I feel pressure while using airpods pro 2 ANC ...with Sony no pressure at all .. Airpods feel louder but that will matter only if u use buds at 100% volume... Ambient mode is 9.9 in xm5 and 10 in airpods Rest everything is same or better in xm5

[@cerebus77]

for sizing on the AZLA's, are they about the same as the Sony stock ear tips. I am currently using Med for Sony so would that be the same as Medium for Azla?

[@tonymcnamara5127]

Are these eartips compatible with the technics AZ80 plz ??

[@Fredo.heavyy]

@@tonymcnamara5127 yes

[@Axolim]

Hey I was checking out the website for AZ80 and found a place for replacement parts. It does list the tips for the AZ60 are they the same? please let me know.

[@Fredo.heavyy]

Yea the tips are the same

[@Axolim]

@@Fredo.heavyy That awesome, thank you

[@jasonMB999]

Hi frefo. Which one do you recommend more for sound and bass between the xm5 and the bose qc ultra? And which is more comfortable while using the Max tips on xm5?

[@Blu3_777]

I have them and They dont stay in your ear still. Xm5 have such a horrible fit smh

[@erkanvural3621]

yeah exactly. I got this xm5 and no matter how hard I tried with silicones like spinFIT 360 and Azla nothing worked. never stay in my ears. I needed to sell it

[@jasonMB999]

Which azla specifically? There are many azlas. The best spinfit to use for these are the omni ​@@erkanvural3621

[@yashara1e]

Any links to order the az80 tips?

[@Fredo.heavyy]

I’ve been told you’d have to contact Technics customer support to get some. Also eBay some times has spare floating around.

[@silverssonyoutube8438]

Don't these tips come with a filter ?

[@Fredo.heavyy]

Nope, I borrowed those from my AZ80

[@humeyboy]

Their Xelastec original and new 2nd Gen model, Crystal Standard and Crystal TWS are better for passive NC than the MAX/MAX ASMR even though they claim otherwise and they also have new Foamax ear tips. 😉

[@dereinzigwahreJules]

Bro those don't even exist what are u taking about

[@Looppehh]

Do the tips work as well as foam? I cant think of a world where foam has less seal than silicone. Either way, I personally haven't had a problem with them. The only way that those foam tips can shred like that is if you used alcohol.

[@Fredo.heavyy]

Your experience may vary, for my active life style foam isn’t an option. I do add a small bit of foam that came with the AZ80 tips and I have no complaints with seal or bass.

[@hs_n90]

Should I buy these earbuds or should I wait for the new ones?

[@Fredo.heavyy]

I don’t see Sony dropping WF1000XM6 until Q4 2025

[@kettlebro]

I've been applying 4.5-4.7mm IEM mesh filters (~$3 for 20) and using different silicone eartips I have. The only problem is small surface for adhesive on nozzle edge - mesh occasionally peels of either from body heat or when swapping eartips. I need to reapply it every few days. Annoying as hell but at least allows wider eartip selection with nozzle protected from dirt. If you are brave enough you can get smaller metal IEM filter and push it inside of the nozzle. Sony really messed it up with the nozzle, probably to keep that "stroneger ANC" with their default foams.

[@CainTheProfessor]

Hey bro try using the sennheiser mtw3 or mtw4 tips i used it on my soundpeats opera 05 coz the tips on my soundpeats 05 doesn't fit well on my ears specially my right ear and now my soundpeats 05 fits well and even sounds better now.

[@Triple-6]

Yea Spinfit and AZLA are two brands I look to for quality eartips. I’ve known about this model shortly after the XM5 earbuds came out. The problem is using these eartips, or any silicone ones, will cause a noticeable reduction in passive noise isolation which means the ANC is no longer that good. Truth is, the XM5’s ANC isn’t really all that special and depends heavily on Sony’s foam eartips. It seems you weren’t getting a good seal with the included foam tips so for you, you may feel these AZLA ones actually perform better. Your comment about the more pronounced bass response supports this. There’s a really good channel called “AREGINA Tech Review” that has some amazing videos. They have a video on these XM5 from about 9 months ago that test these tips (or standard Max) vs. a bunch of others. Measurement data, sound samples, etc. It’s clear there is no big changes to the bass and only relatively subtle changes to treble, but there is a noticeable drop in ANC and noise isolation. This is all, of course, if there’s a good fit for both styles of eartips. Peace!

[@Wyeynee]

So what do u suggest... The Sony's foam fit me well now ...how long will they last ?( I use 3 hour's daily) I have heard they'll last only a month or something And what eartips should I get next ? I have small ears

[@Triple-6]

@@Wyeynee An excellent replacement eartip is the AZLA SednaEarfit Foamax. The video I mentioned above from AREGINA covers this eartip and other options. You can also get OEM Sony replacements from their official supplier, Encompass. I would still try the Foamax ones though. How long they last all depends on your personal use case. I’d imagine you aren’t getting more than a few months under the best circumstances.

[@clash1505]

Aregina Tech Review didn't review the ear tips he presented in the video.

[@Hijynx87]

You should try the azla crystal 2.

[@cryptoknight3009]

Hello is this really worth buying cuz on Amazon the bose are bought more

[@JMMinorSituation]

You can also get some replacement buds from Sony (they’re not foam tips, they’re silicone and they’re way better).

[@palotejackalope]

WHERE TO BUY? they're are the same size as the foam default ones of 1000xm5? it affects anc?

[@Wyeynee]

What size should I get in these Sony's M size fits me the best in my xm5's But what size should I order in azla max silicone ?????

[@InfantGerald]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3KpYnSrobyei9k - A yr ago you called out that SoundPeats are as good as XM5. Do you still stand by it?

[@Fredo.heavyy]

Yea the engine 4 have a better sound than the XM5. Depends what you want out of a bud, XM5 has all the bells and whistles

[@akeinb4931]

This might just be me but I find the foam eartips pretty comfortable 😭

[@whoev3rdidit]

Did the same thing with the Jabra elite 10 to help out the noise cancelling what a difference.

[@Rx7_T51R]

Sony outta line $300 and $50 on ear tips sensational

[@q3dqopb]

3 minutes into the video, and I still don't understand - is it a review of the earbuds or a review of the custom tips? So much talking, so little about the earbuds.

[@Fredo.heavyy]

Ain’t no way. The first sentence out my mouth is “foam tips sucks we’re gonna upgrade them” followed by 30 sec of HOW with b-roll footage of it. Don’t lie you’ve got TikTok brain

[@ttube111]

Ignore that bozo Fredo

[@bozardo101]

It's the custom tips. Trust me, EARTIPS matter. Plus he already reviewed the earbuds many times with comparisons if you follow his channel.

[@jasonMB999]

Just be happy you are getting information on ear tips

[@user-gm4in9in2q]

Can you remember me when you get famous? 🥺

[@Yarin.D]

No one is talking about the fact that the Sony has almost no bass even though there is full sealing? I came from a 75t amplifier and feel that these are simply not an upgrade...
