Good products but needs more improvement.

Very good sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice sounding earbuds. They come with 4 different sized rubber ear plugs. The app for them is very good. There is sound presets along with an equalizer. Phone calls are clear with no distortion. The noise canceling is decent but could be better in my opinion. Overall sound quality is very good. I highly recommend these earbuds.

Posted .Hi CharlesL, thank you for sharing your experience—losing an earbud during a run can be very frustrating, especially when you’re unable to notice right away due to continuous playback on the other side. We understand how important it is to maintain a complete set for the best listening experience.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated as we strive to enhance the design and features of our earbuds. However, it's important to note that the loss of an earbud is generally not included under the standard warranty or repair policies, which primarily address manufacturing defects and technical issues. In the event of a lost earbud, the standard course of action is to purchase a replacement. We suggest contacting Sony Support for further assistance. Our support team can help clarify your options and, when feasible, guide you in acquiring a replacement to ensure you can continue enjoying your listening experience.
If you require assistance with this process or wish to have a further discussion, please reach out to our customer support team directly. They will be more than happy to guide you through the next steps.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is absolutely fantastic. I ride a motorcycle, ans these are a daily use for me because of the ANC that Sony uses, and it blocks out almost ALL outside sound. I highly reccomend this.

Posted .Hi ParisJ,
Thanks for your honest feedback! It brings us great joy to hear that you're enjoying the sound of your WF-1000XM5, but we’re sorry to hear the battery life is falling short.
To help you get more listening time, we recommend trying these steps:
-Open the Sony | Sound Connect app and ensure your earbuds are running the latest software version.
-Features like DSEE Extreme, Speak-to-Chat, and Voice Assistant (Always-on) use extra power. Try turning these off in the app to see if battery life improves.
-If the drain persists, you can try resetting the earbuds using the instructions on our support page: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783924.html
Give those a try!
Thanks for considering Sony and sharing your feedback.
Warm regards,
