      Hi TimberlynW, that's great! We are happy to hear that your son loves our product! The WF-1000XM5 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. For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. Thank you for choosing Sony! ~Earl Sony_US

    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.

      Hi JacobS, Thank you for your feedback on your new Sony WF-1000XM5. We're glad to hear that you are enjoying the audio quality, which is one of the key strengths of the WF-1000XM5. 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. 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. Please follow this link for more details:

      Hi AngelaC,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit is greatly appreciated.

      For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing both earbuds properly. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible. 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. 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. Perform [Determines Optimal Earbud Tips] and confirm that [Earbud tips are air-tight.] is displayed. If the display is a display other than the above, push the earbud tip slowly into your ear canal or replace it with another earpiece and measure again.

      Hi Advz1, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WF1000XM5. We're glad you like the great sound quality and incredible noise cancellation of these earbuds. We're sorry to hear that the earbuds turns on randomly while inside your pockets. This is usually not the case for our WF1000XM5 nor the experience we want you to have. To better isolate this issue, can you tell us if the earbuds turns on even when the charging case is closed? In the meantime, please make sure that the left and right earbuds are properly set into the charging case, and close the charging case lid.

    Like every other thing in this world these days, you have to download an app. Otherwise it will turn off the noise cancelling at random times. Disconnects frequently. I’ve had mine just over a year and they’ve already crapped out. Won’t charge. What a waste of money. They will not replace it because it is two months out of warranty. Insane that their product barely lasts a year. Bose stands by their products.
