Hi Fjd93, Thanks for the feedback. While we're happy that you like the features of the earbuds, we're sad that you are not impressed with the sound quality and fittings, causing you to return them. There is actually a literature available in our support site that can help or show you how to properly wear the earbuds : https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000778771.html Also, your earbuds came with multiple set of ear tips you can choose from and in addition the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app can help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc. Again, we apologize for inconvenience and your feedback can help us improve in the future.

Hi Matt,
We're really sorry to hear that you're not having a great experience with the WF-1000XM5 earbuds. We totally understand how frustrating it can be when something does not fulfill your expectations, especially after enjoying the WH-1000XM4 for so long.

For a better fit, we recommend trying out some of the various ear tips available, as they can make a big difference. Also, It's worth mentioning that you can actually fine-tune the noise cancelling feature through the Sony | Sound Connect app to see if that helps with the performance.

If you still have concerns or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our technical support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

Thanks for considering Sony products and for your feedback.

Hi NETGEAR, That's awesome! We're very happy to hear that you're enjoying both your Sony WF1000XM4 and WF1000XM5 and using them for different chores. 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! -Sam

Hi LeonS, we're glad you like your new earbuds. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Aidan.

We are delighted to hear that you find the sound quality of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds to be good, but we are truly sorry that they are super uncomfortable due to the hard eartips, which has led to them collecting dust. We understand that comfort is just as critical as sound quality, and we regret that they are causing you pain after a short period of wearing.

We would like to help you resolve this and get back to enjoying your premium earbuds. The WF-1000XM5 includes multiple sizes of ear tips in the box. We highly recommend trying the smallest or largest sizes to ensure a better seal that relieves pressure.

If you would like direct assistance with fit or have further questions, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team here:

We hope to help you find a comfortable fit so you can enjoy the amazing sound quality!

Hi Pilotjs152,

We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the WF1000XM5. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

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. If any of this is the case, try the following.

-Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different.
-The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.
-Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.

Hi ALLENZ470,

Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the headphones. We're glad that you like the comfort of the headphones. Your feedback about the sound quality is greatly appreciated.

-Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.

Hint: The function that determines the optimal earbud tips for you measures the air-tightness of the earbud tips and determines whether or not the headset units are being worn in your ears correctly. Select a size that fits comfortably.

You also have the option to adjust the equalizer function of the Sony Headphones Connect app to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. For more information, please refer to this link:
