      Hello Trixie,

      Thank you for sharing your review of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoy the exceptional sound quality. However, we understand that you encountered some challenges with their functionality, particularly during video calls on your Samsung phone.

      To resolve the video call issue, it's essential to ensure that the appropriate Bluetooth profiles are being utilized. The Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) is designed for music playback, while the Hands-free Profile (HFP) and Headset Profile (HSP) are meant for voice calls. If your earbuds are connected via the A2DP profile, you may experience difficulties during voice calls. Please make sure to select either the HFP or HSP profile when using the earbuds for video calls.

      Additionally, check the audio settings in your video calling app to confirm that the earbuds are set as the audio input and output device. If the issue continues, consider restarting your phone, resetting the earbuds, or trying a different video calling app to determine whether the problem lies with the earbuds, the app, or the phone itself.

      If the issue persists, we recommend reviewing the following articles for further troubleshooting:

    High potential, order extra silicone earbuds in place of memory foam originals. Earbuds lose ability to stay in place after about 2 months of consistent daily use. Also when taking phone calls earbuds tend to pick up alot of extra noise in the background

      Hi RolandeR, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We understand your feedback regarding the earbud tips of your Sony unit. For the earbuds losing their ability to stay in place, it's important to ensure that the earbuds are worn properly and that the earbud tips are firmly and completely attached. You might need to select earbud tips that best fit your ears. The Sony | Headphones Connect app can be used to measure the air-tightness of the earbud tips and find the optimal size. Additionally, regular cleaning of the earbuds and tips is recommended to maintain their fit and performance. Please check these links for more details:

    [Employee of bestbuy] A decent pair of earphones, but not worth the price. The noise cancelling feature isnt that great either. I can still hear people and machines at the gym. I previously had the Sony Link S earbuds & they do a much better job than these and they fit in your ears more comfortably compared to the M5’s. The M’5 lack overall volume limit, bass, bulkier in desgin & high price point for the quality. Save your time and hassle of wanting to return them lol
