    TLDR: They always felt like they were falling out, or actually fell out. I didn't keep these long enough to properly review everything about this product because they simply would not stay in my ears. Extremely disappointed that something this highly recommended had a fit so poor, even for me. I'll give them 2 stars because the build quality and case are excellent quality. I honestly have a hard time with earbuds staying in. The little ear fin that the Sennheiser Momentum headphones come with are with every extra cent.

      Hi RyanS,

      That's wonderful to hear you're impressed with the sound quality and overall performance of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds! We appreciate your honest feedback on the durability of the noise isolation earbud tips. The tips are a polyurethane foam/silicone hybrid designed for the best ANC seal and, as consumables, they do wear down over time.

      For official Sony replacement tips (EP-NI1000 series), we recommend checking authorized online retailers or using the dedicated WF-1000XM5 replacement tips request form on the Sony Support site.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
