The WF-1000XM5 headphone case is made of plastic. Also included in the box with these headphones is a charging cable, three pairs of additional tips, and instructions. The case is of high quality and comparable in size to the AirPods Pro case.
You need to remove the headphones from this case in a special way. This is because they are shiny and your fingers can slide on them. It is enough to move each of the headphones to the side to receive them without any problems.
Since the headphones are made of glossy plastic, they are quite slippery and can easily fall out of your hands. In addition, such a surface collects fingerprints and scratches better.
The second unpleasant feature of the WF-1000XM5 is its ergonomics. You need to put them on and then bend them a little so that they fit comfortably. And even then you’ll probably need to tighten them from time to time. Therefore their form is still not universal.
The noise reduction feature of the WF-1000XM5 works great, but you also need to choose the right attachment for it. Sony has products with memory effects that may not be suitable for everyone. Some people will prefer silicone ones like Apple’s. Same story with transparency mode: you’ll need to choose the title wisely for it to work properly. At the same time, the mode itself is implemented averagely in Sony headphones.
If you choose a headgear that is not tight enough (for example, if your ears hurt from being too tight), the sound quality will suffer. Although in terms of sound quality, the WF-1000XM5 is one of the best headphones in its price range. They sound best with Android smartphones. They are sonically versatile, and the app has two equalizer options: automatic and manual. Moreover, they provide better sound than AirPods even on the iPhone. The sound reserve of these headphones is also excellent: the author of the YouTube channel listened to them outdoors at an average volume of 60-70%, indoors at a maximum volume of 40-50%.
The Sony WF-1000XM5 really live up to everything said about them. It has excellent sound, super autonomy, IPX4 water protection, excellent noise reduction and good microphones. However, if it does not fit you well, then you will not be able to understand and buy most of these chips.
