What do critics say about the Sony WF-1000XM5?

Garage Gym Reviews72

Tested as the Android pick thanks to LDAC and strong noise cancelling, but testers disliked the awkward fit, flimsy case and high price.

The Independent83est.

Picked as the best earbuds for noise cancellation, the tester found detailed, clear sound and exceptional ANC, with the best audio when ANC is off.

Gear Patrol77est.

Described as a clear upgrade over its predecessor, with better noise cancelling, sound and a smaller, more comfortable fit, and nearly level with Bose for the best ANC earbuds.
