      Thank you for your review of the Sony WF-1000XM5, Julio. We appreciate your positive remarks regarding the sound quality and noise-canceling features. However, we regret to hear that you find the ear pieces uncomfortable.

      Comfort is a crucial factor when it comes to headphones. It can sometimes take a little time to adjust to new earpieces, especially if you are accustomed to a different style. We suggest experimenting with the various sizes of ear tips included with the WF-1000XM5, as finding the right fit can greatly enhance comfort. If the provided tips do not suit your needs, consider exploring third-party alternatives specifically designed for improved comfort.

      We are dedicated to delivering high-quality products and value your feedback, as it plays a vital role in our ongoing improvement. If you continue to experience discomfort, please do not hesitate to reach out for further assistance. Thank you once again for your support and understanding.

      If you have any additional questions or require further help, please feel free to contact our support team directly.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently purchased these. They have a nice premium weight and feel. However, the earbuds did not fit well no matter what tips I used. Additionally, the noise-canceling features that I was looking forward to did not work as expected. I would not recommend these earbuds to others, as I believe there are better options available on the market in the same price range. It's essential to consider other options before investing in this pair of earbuds, as the overall experience can be frustrating and disappointing if the fitment and / or features do not meet your expectations.

    I have owned a pevious model of these earbuds, which eventually died, and that pair had good noise cancellation but this version of earbuds the noise cancellation is not as effective and not as distinctive as the previous model.
