Hi Stelyos,

You made the right choice upgrading to the Sony WF-1000XM5! We're glad that you like the sound quality, noise canceling function, and size of the headphones. 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.

Hi LiamOBrien,

We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the WF1000XM5. For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance. If any of this is the case, try the following.

-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.
-Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible. You may also find this link helpful:

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the WF-1000XM5, GooberBooger84. We are very glad to hear that you find them to be great and that you are impressed with the overall quality of the sound they produce.

We understand your point about the bass not being as "punchy" as you would have liked. We designed the WF-1000XM5 to deliver a balanced and accurate sound signature across the entire frequency range, aiming for clarity and detail. However, we also know that bass preference is a very personal aspect of listening. If you haven't already, you might find that adjusting the equalizer (EQ) settings within the Sony | Headphones Connect app allows you to customize the sound and boost the bass to your liking.

We truly appreciate your detailed and honest review. Your insights are invaluable as we continue to refine and improve our audio products. Thank you for being a Sony customer.

Best regards,

Gus

Hi Giovanni,
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback on the WF-1000XM5. It's fantastic to hear that you're loving the sound quality.
We're genuinely sorry, however, that the fit isn't quite working out for you, especially during activities like running or working out.

To help you get that perfect seal and stability you need for active use, we strongly recommend you experiment with the different sizes of ear tips included in the box. Even a slight change in size can make a huge difference in stability and overall seal.

We hope this suggestion helps you get the secure fit you need!

Thanks for considering Sony and for your feedback.
Warm regards,
Estefany

Hi NicholasP,

Thanks for your review of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds, it's fantastic to hear you're enjoying them!

We understand your desire to connect to more than two devices simultaneously, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The WF-1000XM5 earbuds are designed with a multipoint connection feature that allows them to be connected to two devices at the same time. This is a great feature for switching seamlessly between a phone and a computer, for example.

While we recognize that many users would benefit from connecting to more than two devices, this is a limitation of the current Bluetooth technology used in the earbuds. We are always working to improve our products and features, and we will be sure to pass your feedback on to our engineering team for future consideration.

Thanks for choosing Sony!

Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony Social Media Team
