Great if the fit... They didn't.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Work great, but not as comfortable as XM4
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be honest, I don't love the way these fit in the ears compared to the last model. However, the audio quality is great. I don't think you'd be missing out if you got the xm4 instead however.

We understand that finding the perfect fit can vary from person to person. We recommend trying different ear tip sizes and experimenting with the positioning to achieve a snug fit.

Don’t purchase IPHONE users
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality if you just want to listen to music. Terrible when it comes to phone calls, on your end you can hear them fine. On their end you get either an echo or a lot of interference. I’ve tried multiple people, different locations. Thought it was maybe service on my end or my phone. Also on an iPhone you can’t edit the “change tap function”.. just buy the AirPods Pro.

Posted .Hi Brandon1,
We're glad that you like its incredible audio quality. We're sorry you've been running into difficulty. For fit concern, our WF-1000XM5 earbuds feature a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit and the 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 SS.
To ensure optimal performance, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headset from falling out, change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. When wearing them, gently pull up on the top of your ears, put the earbud tips in your ear canal, and then twist the earbuds into place. This makes sure the earbuds are firmly in the ear canal.
In addition, the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess
