Super earphones! The sound quality is incredible, the noise reduction is amazing, it's really impressive.
The only small flaw is the price
Completely immerse yourself in high-quality sound with no outside interference thanks to the best noise reduction, while enjoying absolute comfort and the latest technology from Sony. The WF-1000XM5 earphones incorporate cutting-edge technology to deliver unrivalled audio quality and the best noise reduction performance on the market. Their real-time audio processors and high-performance microphones power the Dynamic Driver X diaphragm , specially designed to reproduce a wide frequency range, deep bass and clear vocals. They're designed to immerse you in sound of such quality that you'll feel like you're in the studio with your favourite artists. WF-1000XM5 headphones set the bar high for audio clarity and distraction-free listening.

WF-1000XM5 headphones reduce outside noise over a wide bandwidth from low to high frequencies. They feature two exclusive HD QN2e and V2 processors thatreduce external noise more than ever before, a new high-performance 8.4 mm Dynamic Driver X diaphragm, two feedback microphones and innovative isolation tips for a more stable fit.
Real-time noise cancelling can be optimised to ensure the best performance for your environment. You'll notice a big difference, especially on planes, trains or buses, and these outstanding features across the entire frequency range ensure a smooth, natural sound, whatever you're listening to.
The LDAC codec authentically reproduces Hi-Res certified high-resolution audio. DSEE technology restores frequencies lost during the compression of digital sound sources.
Multi Noise Sensor technology captures more ambient noise for even more effective noise reduction.
Thanks to a noise reduction algorithm based on AI and deep neural network (RNP) processing, as well as bone conduction sensors, your voice will be perceived clearly and more naturally, even in a noisy environment. If you're outside, the noise reduction structure reduces wind noise, so you can still be heard.
With their improved gloss and more luxurious feel, these headphones fit comfortably in your ears while filtering out outside sounds.Sony has reduced the size of the headphones and optimised the placement of components to give you headphones that are around 25% smaller and 20% lighter. The size of the charging case has also been reduced, making it even easier to slip into your pocket.

You can control the volume without using your phone by double-tapping the headphones and, depending on the settings, you can access your music service without opening the app. Easily assign your own functions to each earpiece with thefree Headphones Connect app, these headphones are easy to use and fit seamlessly into your life.

Super earphones! The sound quality is incredible, the noise reduction is amazing, it's really impressive.
The only small flaw is the price
I hesitated for a long time before buying these earphones because the previous ones had disappointed me, particularly because they didn't stay in place, and I'd almost lost one several times.
No problem at all with the Sony earphones, although I suppose it depends on your body type.
And what more could you ask for in terms of sound quality and good isolation?
Oh yes, the controls are multiple - and configurable - by tapping the left or right earpiece or by moving the head.
In short, they're 5 stars for me, despite the rather high price.
Frankly after having the melomania one touch, the ear-phones of Sony are the best in term of music I never had a sound as beautiful with the active noise reduction and some adjustment on equalizer (squig.link) and Auto eq app you select Sony WF xm5 and the magic operates.
On the plus side:
Incredible noise reduction (no noise around even in the street) even without music there is only you and the music, however it takes time to adapt because it may surprise at first.
You can set the music to 13% for example with active noise reduction, which is enough and protects your ears.
The headphones easily last for 9 hours in AAC mode. I haven't managed to reach 12 hours, but I think it's doable.
The bass is monstrous with viper4android with the basic settings it's very average but passable if you have the possibility put viper4android or even wavelet
Negative point :
The box discharges quickly and smells a bit burnt at times, but nothing to worry about.
