“Does anyone have any experience wearing these for five+ hours? Do they hurt your ears? I bought a cheap pair from Amazon and they are killing my ears. I like the concept of earbuds but I am unsure if they will all cause discomfort, or just the ones I have”

I work with these on for 8-12 hours and generally speaking with no pain. Your ears may vary so experiment with the different ear tip sizes to find out what works or not. You can also try different brands of ear tips to see if perhaps the sizing they use is different to Sony's. I usually recommend Comply Foam tips.

Our WF-1000XM5 earbuds feature a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit. We’ve designed the WF-1000XM5 utilizing extensive ear-shape data collated since introducing the world’s first in-ear headphones in 1982. Our continuous evaluation of different ear shapes and sensitivities has helped us design an ideal earbud shape, secure and comfortable for almost everybody. New Noise Isolation Earbud Tips are made from an exclusive material that improves fitting and increases comfort thanks to reduced pressure in the ear due to a newly designed shape. The earbuds come in four sizes, including a new extra small version. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. I hope this helps, and thanks again for your inquiry! Best regards, Romeo
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.i actually wore them for 7 hours . NO PAIN AT ALL
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use them sometime when I pull all nighters and they will last like 8 to 9 hours with the sound cancelling on, They do start to hurt if you are not using the correct tips after like 2 hours and with the correct tips they will start hurting after like 3 to 3 and half. It is common issue with most earbud, if you aren't looking for just sound cancelling but looking for sound quality look at open-ear buds. They are super comfortable and provide amazing sound quality
