No tracking
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.
Best regards,

Connection problems! Need case to pair! ANC bad!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Today the left earbud stated the battery was low and turned off. I put them in the case to reset for about 1 minutes, took them back out, and they are at 99%. These are complete garbage! These glitch every day. 50% chance one won’t connect to Apple Watch. I’ll have to reinsert into the case, which I don’t carry into the gym with me. If I tap to turn off noise cancelling to talk to someone, one earbud will turn it off and the other won’t. The only fix is to put the earbuds in the case or forget pairing and re-pair them altogether. I don’t bring the case with me into the gym or on a jog, that would be ridiculous. This trend of requiring the charging case to pair is absolutely absurd . If you’re in the gym or out for a jog and the charging case is in your car or at home, you can’t re-pair your earbuds when they glitch. Rebooting your phone or watch doesn’t fix the problem. Repairing is often the only way to fix. Why can’t we long click both earbuds to setup pairing mode? Common Sense! Why does this need to be more difficult than it should be? Imagine needing to put your phone in a special case to pair it to Bluetooth devices. That sounds really foolish right? So why do we require that for earbuds? The ANC is less than average with these. I suspect the foam tips are part of the problem. I’ve had about 6 pairs of earbuds in the past 3 years. These have the worst ANC of them all.

Posted .Hi Beammeeup, thank you for sharing your honest feedback! It is most rewarding to hear that you find the Sony - WF1000XM5 to be very good overall! With their industry-leading noise cancellation, rich sound quality, and intelligent adaptive features, they're built to elevate your listening experience. We also understand that getting the right fit can make a big difference, especially when it comes to noise isolation and call quality. If you haven't already, we highly recommend trying out the different sizes of ear tips included in the box, a proper seal not only improves comfort, but also enhances both noise cancellation and mic performance by reducing external interference.
