Customer Ratings & Reviews

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:

Hi AdrienM,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience so far with your new WF-1000XM5 headphones. While we are glad you like most of the features, we regret your experience with our product and we apologize if the unit did not fit your ears well. If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. For the proper sound quality, noise canceling function, and call sound quality to be effective, it is advisable to follow this Help Guide link for wearing the earbuds properly:

HI Deviceaid , We regret that the noise canceling did not meet your expectation. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. We'd love to help and turn your experience around. If the noise canceling is not sufficient, please try the following steps below:

Make sure the noise canceling function is turned on.
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.
