      Thanks for the perfect rating, Mountainbiker86! We're stoked to hear you are impressed with the new Sony XM5 Wireless earbuds. 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. 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! -Craig Sony_US

    I tried every bud tip and even some old ones I had laying around and I could not get a good seal. As a result they kept falling out of my ear and active noise canceling would not work. The sound seemed very distant and low quality and they feel very bulky in the ear. Had to return them.

      Hello user729855,

      Thank you for considering Sony products.

      We sincerely apologize that the WF1000XM5 earbuds failed to live up to your expectations. It’s disappointing to hear about the fit issues and the sound quality concerns you experienced. This certainly doesn’t reflect the high standards we aim to deliver.

      Please know that your feedback is very important to us, and we will share your comments with our dedicated Sony team for further review as we continue improving our products.

      Thank you for sharing your experience and for your understanding.

      Best regards,
