Posted .Hi NicholasF,
We're delighted to hear that you find the fit and sound of the WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds to be great. We sincerely apologize that your experience with calls has been disappointing, as call clarity is a crucial function. We understand that call performance, especially in noisy environments, can sometimes be affected by the aggressive noise suppression on the microphone. Please ensure your earbuds have the latest firmware update via the Headphones Connect app, as we frequently release updates that address performance concerns. Additionally, checking that you have the optimal ear tip seal (using the fit test in the app) and cleaning the microphone mesh can sometimes improve voice pickup. If the issue persists, contact our support team, as they can provide more advanced troubleshooting or determine if this requires further assistance. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Sony Does It again
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are incredible! Upgraded my QC 35 to these because only one side on the bose would work by itself. The noise cancelling is 2nd to none. The audio quality is amazing and they heard the reviews and made the buds smaller and the case. This was a home run by Sony.

Posted .Hi Emoney,
You made the right choice upgrading to the WF1000XM5! We're glad that you are enjoying the noise canceling function, sound quality, and size of the headphones. It's also great that you like the option to use any headset unit of the WF1000XM5.
The WF1000XM5 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!

Lack of a secure fit... exchanged
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought them then returned for Bose QCII's. I bought them originally for the longer battery life but the lack of a secure fit, being the only thing holding the headphones from dropping all the time and eventually breaking would be the ear tips. I don't prefer jamming them in my ear so the Bose have a more relaxed fit. Just my 2 cents I have an active job and maybe if someone is doing rigorous exercise to avoid. Maybe Sony will make ear-fins?

Posted .Hi Beammeeup, thank you for sharing your honest feedback! It is most rewarding to hear that you find the Sony - WF1000XM5 to be very good overall! With their industry-leading noise cancellation, rich sound quality, and intelligent adaptive features, they're built to elevate your listening experience. We also understand that getting the right fit can make a big difference, especially when it comes to noise isolation and call quality. If you haven't already, we highly recommend trying out the different sizes of ear tips included in the box, a proper seal not only improves comfort, but also enhances both noise cancellation and mic performance by reducing external interference. We appreciate your thoughts and thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, -Dominick

Over hyped!! But good.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the WF-1000XM4s and they were great head phones. Then I got the WF-1000XM5s and though they are better to wear in the ears, the bone sensing feature os extremely annoying. When I'm on the treadmill or even chewing gum or doing something with my jaw the audio gets cut off because of the headphone having to adjust. This is extremely annoying! Its the one thing I regret about buying an upgrade?

Posted .Hi Ref3129,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the fit of the headphones. Your feedback about the Speak-to-Chat function is greatly appreciated. The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when the headset detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases, it may activate in response to vibrations caused by devices such as electric toothbrushes, electric massagers, and electric shavers, or by activities such as brushing your teeth, coughing, or humming. In cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident, set Speak-to-Chat to “L Sensitivity”. You can change the sensitivity by using the Sony Headphones Connect app. For more information, please refer to these links:

Amazing Sound Quality, Otherwise Garbage
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is unrivaled. Nose cancellation is unrivaled. Doesn't matter when you essentially can't use them for phone calls. App on Android disappears so you have to search it in the app store to open it. Can't modify tap functions so if you try to adjust an earbud in a call you end up hanging up on the call. App is absolute trash and Sony should be ashamed.
