      Hi Masterskz,

      While we're glad that you like the amazing audio and noise cancellation, we're so sorry to hear you are having issues with your WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless Noise-Canceling Earbuds, particularly with mic during a call quality. This is not the experience we want you to have. If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not properly worn on your ears, tap operations or the speech detection of Speak-to-Chat may not be successful, or you may not obtain proper sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performances.

      If any of this is the case, please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/articles/00262839

      If you require further assistance regarding your concern, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

      Hi JungL,

      Thanks for commenting. While we are thrilled to hear about your satisfaction with the amazing sound quality of your WF-1000XM5, we are sorry if you're experiencing comfort issue. If you wear the headset for a long time, your ears may start hurting. Use the headset while taking breaks periodically.

      And for optimum fit, comfort and to keep the headphones from falling out, we always recommend following the steps on this article:
