The Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds came with a lot of important upgrades from the previous generation upon launch, namely including a more comfortable fit, improved touch controls, and the return of some of the industry’s best audio quality available.

From features such as a robust ANC and EQ profile to the 360 Reality Audio spatial audio option, these definitely pack a punch. Plus, they’ll get listeners up to 8 hours of playback time per charge on their own, or up to 24 hours of battery life with intermittent charges using the charging case. Sony also says it takes just two hours to charge these earbuds to full power.

Additionally, Sony started offering one even-smaller earbud foam tip size with the WF-1000XM5s, offering a huge comfort improvement for those with small ears.
