Hi GaryR,

Thanks for reaching out to us. We regret to know that you're not having the best experience with your WF-1000XM5 and you find them uncomfortable during use. This is not the experience we want you to have.

To ensure optimal performance, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headset from falling out, change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. When wearing them, gently pull up on the top of your ears, put the earbud tips in your ear canal, and then twist the earbuds into place. This makes sure the earbuds are firmly in the ear canal.

Please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/articles/00262839

If you still have the unit, please let us know so we can turn your experience around. You may send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Hi modquad, we sincerely apologize for the persistent audio issues you're experiencing with your WF-1000XM5 earbuds, including the constant cutting out and connection difficulties.

To assist you in troubleshooting the issue further, consider the following tips: First, check for any potential interference from other wireless devices, such as Wi-Fi routers, microwaves, or other Bluetooth devices, as they can disrupt the WF-1000XM5's connection; testing your headphones in a different environment may help identify if the problem persists. Additionally, if you have access to another smartphone, tablet or computer, try connecting your WF-1000XM5 to that device to determine whether the issue lies with the headphones or the original device you were using.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, we strongly recommend reaching out to our technical support team. You can find their contact information here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

Thank you for being a valued Sony customer and for letting us know about this issue.

Hi LeeC, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with your WF-1000XM5 earbuds staying in your ears. We understand how frustrating it can be when earbuds don't fit securely, especially when you're enjoying the sound quality.

Hi EricV,

Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts on the Sony XM5 earbuds. We're sorry to hear they didn't fully meet your expectations. Here are a few suggestions that might help enhance your experience:

1. We recommend adjusting the equalizer settings in the Sony Headphones Connect app to tailor the sound to your preferences. Sometimes a few tweaks can significantly improve clarity and balance. https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000781980.html?search=equalizer

2. 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, you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance.
If any of this is the case, try the following the outlined steps on these link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000779956.html
