With the Sony WF-1000XM5, I can isolate myself from my environment thanks to strong noise cancellation. Thanks to the intense and detailed sound, I am also completely absorbed in my favorite music. Unfortunately, the controls in the earbuds are sensitive, so I don't always have control over my music.
Strong noise canceling
I immediately noticed how strong the noise canceling of these earplugs is. Normally I notice a difference between the noise canceling of headphones and that of earbuds, but in this case the noise canceling of the earbuds is worthy of headphones. The noise canceling strongly isolates me from my surroundings, so I don't hear any noise on a train.
Earplugs fit comfortably in my ears
I had some trouble finding the right fit, but here's a trick. When I want to put the earphones in, I first make sure that the eartips are firmly in my ear canal. Then I rotate the earbuds so that they sit firmly in my ears and do not fall out easily. The ear tips themselves are sturdier than silicone ear tips as those of the WF-1000XM5 also have memory foam. This makes the eartips shape to my eyes and feel nice in my ears. This is comfortable when you listen to music for a long time.
Touch controls too sensitive
The earbuds are sensitive to touch controls, which you can use to adjust the noise cancellation and fast forward your songs. I find them very sensitive, so he responds very quickly to the smallest, unconscious, touches. This makes me lose control over my music at times.
Get lost in the music
I think the sound quality of these earbuds is very high. The bass sounds are solid and this is not at the expense of midrange and high tones. This allows me to listen to intense and balanced sound, making rock music and electronic music sound as if I am there live. That is why this earplug is suitable for fans of these music styles. If you like podcasts or less intense music, I don't recommend this earbud.
