Fantastic sound!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buds don't wanna come out of the case. This leads to fumbling a bud here or there. If you don't mind chasing em down a time or two then these are FANTASTIC!

Posted .Thank you for your feedback on the WF-1000XM5, ThomasC. We're glad to hear you find them fantastic overall. We understand your concern about the buds being a bit tricky to remove from the case, which can lead to fumbling.
A potential solution might be to ensure the buds are magnetically secured when docked in their case, providing a more secure grip for easier removal. Additionally, adjusting the angle or grip when removing them can help prevent drops.
If you have further concerns or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Posted .Hi FrankA,
We are so sorry to hear that you're not getting the sound quality you were hoping for with your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. To get the best sound, the fit is crucial.

No tracking
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great earbuds except for the fact that you can’t really track them on IPhone and have to directly get an entire accessory just to find them. This all leads to the fact that they are expensive, which you would think they would have a good way to track them.

Great ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation is pretty good, and the sound quality is great. It takes a little getting used to getting them in your ears because they are smaller than what I am used to with AirPods

Posted .Hi NicholasF,
We're delighted to hear that you find the fit and sound of the WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds to be great. We sincerely apologize that your experience with calls has been disappointing, as call clarity is a crucial function. We understand that call performance, especially in noisy environments, can sometimes be affected by the aggressive noise suppression on the microphone. Please ensure your earbuds have the latest firmware update via the Headphones Connect app, as we frequently release updates that address performance concerns. Additionally, checking that you have the optimal ear tip seal (using the fit test in the app) and cleaning the microphone mesh can sometimes improve voice pickup. If the issue persists, contact our support team, as they can provide more advanced troubleshooting or determine if this requires further assistance. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Posted .Hi Marek, Thank you for the feedback! The WF1000XM5 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.
