    Newest version of Sony's earbuds is Great.

    Smaller is better for a change. The case and earbuds are better than the previous version. They are a little slick when removing from the case, so maybe a matte finish would be better. Other than that... they're great.

    Great headphones. Wish the noise canceling was better, but it does a decent job adjusting to your surroundings. I do wish the app was a little better, but that’s not a knock on the headphones themselves.

    Good Sound, Bad Earbud Tips

    The Sony WF-1000XM5 sound great. I had a pair of Pixel Buds Pro and the XM5s blew them out of the water. There is one big issue. The earbud tips are made of foam and none of the different sizes fit in my ears. They easily fell out while walking around. Since the tips contain the protective wire mesh, switching the tips out leaves the buds exposed to earwax and other debris. For an item that commands a premium price, I shouldn't have to figure out a workaround for the eartips not fitting correctly.

      Hi FrankA,

      We are so sorry to hear that you're not getting the sound quality you were hoping for with your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. To get the best sound, the fit is crucial. In the Sony | Headphones Connect app, try the "Determines Optimal Earbud Tips" test to find the best size for your ears. You can also use the equalizer in the app to customize the sound to your liking.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Hi TobyA,

      Thanks for commenting. We are thrilled to know that love your WF-1000XM5, and that you are satisfied with its exceptional noise canceling function. We are sorry if you are experiencing an automatic Bluetooth connection when your headphones are placed on your pocket. To avoid this problem, please ensure that your headphones are set into the charging case correctly so they turn off automatically before putting them into your pockets. Put the left headset unit (the headset unit with the tactile dot) back into the left hole of the charging case, and put the right headset unit back into the right hole of the charging case. Each headset unit will be set to the correct position in the charging case by the built-in magnet. You may also try cleaning the contact points on the charging case and earbud headphones to further isolate the problem. For more details, please refer to the following links:

      Hi NicholasF,

      We're delighted to hear that you find the fit and sound of the WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds to be great. We sincerely apologize that your experience with calls has been disappointing, as call clarity is a crucial function. We understand that call performance, especially in noisy environments, can sometimes be affected by the aggressive noise suppression on the microphone. Please ensure your earbuds have the latest firmware update via the Headphones Connect app, as we frequently release updates that address performance concerns. Additionally, checking that you have the optimal ear tip seal (using the fit test in the app) and cleaning the microphone mesh can sometimes improve voice pickup. If the issue persists, contact our support team, as they can provide more advanced troubleshooting or determine if this requires further assistance. Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Eliab Sony_US

    Great earbuds except for the fact that you can’t really track them on IPhone and have to directly get an entire accessory just to find them. This all leads to the fact that they are expensive, which you would think they would have a good way to track them.

      Thank you for your feedback on the WF-1000XM5, ThomasC. We're glad to hear you find them fantastic overall. We understand your concern about the buds being a bit tricky to remove from the case, which can lead to fumbling.

      A potential solution might be to ensure the buds are magnetically secured when docked in their case, providing a more secure grip for easier removal. Additionally, adjusting the angle or grip when removing them can help prevent drops.

      If you have further concerns or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service. Thank you for choosing Sony!
