Reviews of Sony's latest wireless earbuds, the WF-1000XM5, are live (Soundguys, The Verge, Wired, CNET, Techradar) and the general consensus is that they're excellent. For Android users, it's a no-brainer, these are the best wireless earbuds you can get now. Maybe the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II are on-par, maybe with better active noise cancellation, but the Sony XM5's have better audio quality according to most people and supports the high quality LDAC Bluetooth codec that the Bose do not. The million dollar question however, is what are they like compared to the AirPods Pro? It's line-ball for most criteria, but the AirPods have a slight edge due to the deep integration with iOS and stuff like Spatial Audio on Apple Music and they're actually slightly cheaper, at least at Sony's RRP.
