Bought a second pair again!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decided to buy this pair again because of the over all design and quality sound. I grabbed a pair of the new Bose ultra and the Bluetooth connection and discomfort made me buy these again. Looking forward to the next model. Over all these Sony don’t need much improvement.

Sony earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality and offering. The only issue I've had is not with the earbuds themselves.. Rather it's the case (if you drop it on the floor.. It will open up and your earbuds will fly away rather far). [Wish the hinge was way stronger]

Posted .Hi TylerG, we're glad you like the sound quality and noise canceling feature of the product. We're sorry to hear that had an issue with the earbud tips of your Sony unit. We really wished we could turn your opinion around regarding our WF1000XM5. It is recommended to change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different.

Better than before, but I have a defective unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been a happy owner of the previous version of these earbuds (xm4). When I saw the newer version, i was so excited, preordered, and was one of the first to receive it. The sound quality is definitely better, fitment is nice, and the overall quality has improved. However the left earbud kept losing its charge. When I open the case and try to use them, i would see the left at 1% or 0% batery while the right and case are at 100%. I would need to get a replacement to hoping that I had a defective unit.

Posted .Hi Daniel,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality and fit of the headphones. It's unfortunate that the left earbud is not working properly.
For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).
You may also find these steps helpful:
-Make sure the headset units are stored securely in the supplied charging case. If the headset units are floating in the charging case, the headset units may not be charged.
-When the charging ports of the headset units or the charging case get dirty, the headset units may not be charged. Clean the charging ports with a soft dry cloth.
-The left or right headset unit works as the main headset unit, so it consumes the rechargeable battery faster than the other unit. There is a difference in charging time between the left and right headset units, but this is not a malfunction. The left or the right headset unit can be the “main headset unit” depending on the usage environment.
Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue:
Resetting the headset
-Set the headset units into the charging case. Leave the charging case lid open.
-Press and hold the reset button on the back of the charging case for about 20 seconds or more. After about 15 seconds, the indicator (orange) on the charging case flashes for about 5 seconds. Then, the indicator on the charging case turns off and the headset will be reset. Note: Do not release your finger from the reset button on the charging case while the indicator (orange) is flashing. If you release your finger, the headset will be initialized.
-Check that the indicator turns off and then release your finger.
If the headset does not operate correctly even after resetting, initialize the headset to restore factory settings.
Initializing the headset
-Set the headset units into the charging case. Leave the charging case lid open.
-Press and hold the initialize button on the back of the charging case for about 15 seconds or more.
The indicator (blue) on the charging case repeatedly flashes twice in a row, and then the indicator (orange) starts flashing.
-Release your finger within 5 seconds after the indicator (orange) on the charging case starts flashing. When the initializing is complete, the indicator (green) on the charging case flashes 4 times.
This operation resets volume settings, etc. to the factory settings, and deletes all pairing information. In this case, delete the pairing information for the headset from the connected device and then pair them again.
Hope this helps. If still not resolved or you need further assistance, please contact our product support team via phone call or chat through this link:

Yes Sony earbuds are amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ended up buy both the Beats Fit Pro and Sony blah blah blah... thing. Excusing the forgetful name, this is an amazing product. This is my go to earbuds for travel and ANC and just about everything. If stays in my ears perfectly and comfortable for long flights. This has better ANC than Beats, and the Sony has really good connection with iPhone. I only used the Beats fit pro for gym because I sweat lot and don't want get the Sony dirty. Also, the touch sensors are very responsive, where as every time I try to adjust the Beats during workout, I accidentally click the button.
