      Hi Alijandro, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with the fit and noise canceling feature of your Sony unit. It is recommended changing 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. Please follow this link for more details:

      Hi Jorge,

      While we're glad that you like most of the features, we regret to learn that you're hearing unwanted noise on your Sony earbud headphones. This is not the experience we want you to have. We recommend to update the headphones' software to the latest version (via Sony Sound Connect app). Doing so may resolve the issue.

      This issue may be caused by several reasons, including radio wave interference and nearby devices may interrupt Bluetooth communication and cause sound interruptions. You can isolate this issue by following the troubleshooting steps provided on the links below.

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00298368
      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00232102

      If you hear buzzing, popping, crackling, or vibration noises from your Bluetooth headphones that sound different than the more common static or distortion sounds caused by environmental interference issues, please note we have a customer hotline that is happy to assist you and help troubleshoot any concerns you have, and your headphones has a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase.

      Should you need further assistance regarding your concern, please feel free to contact us and we'll be more than happy to assist you. You may send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following:

      Hi JoseC, We are sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the WF-1000XM5 earbuds. For the soundstage concern, it might be helpful to adjust the equalizer settings in the Sony Headphones Connect app to better suit your preferences.

      Regarding the earbuds falling out, it is crucial to ensure that you are using the correct size of ear tips. The WF-1000XM5 comes with multiple sizes of ear tips, and finding the right fit can significantly improve comfort and stability. Here are some steps you can follow to improve the fit:

      Try Different Ear Tip Sizes: The earbuds come with small, medium, and large ear tips. Experiment with different sizes to find the one that fits snugly in your ears without causing discomfort.

      Proper Insertion: Insert the earbuds into your ears and twist them slightly until they feel secure. The headphone section should be horizontal for a better fit.

      Check the Fit: Make sure the ear tips are straight and not at an angle to prevent them from detaching and falling out.

      May we contact you to help? If so, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com
      Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.

    U found these earbuds combersome and heavy in the ear. The sound quality was decent. I also found annoying was the app. You have to use 2 apps in order for it to work properly. The thing that annoyed me the most was I tried all the ear tip fit feature and it seem not to slwork properly. I also found annoying is how heavy it felt in my ears and it felt loose and I was afraid they would fall out!

    I switched from air pods to these and I couldn’t be more disappointed! Spatial sound cannot match Apple’s technology. The case top is flimsy it feels as cheap as a $10 set of earphones. The ANC just barely works and sound leaks in even with the largest set of ear cushions. Also, you need an app to get the most of these and that should not be the case. I have the Sony link buds with the open back and they’re far better than these things all around. Save your money, these do not beat the top earbuds on the market.

      Hi AryabrataV, we're truly sorry to hear that the WF-1000XM5 earbuds didn't provide the comfort you expected, especially compared to your LinkBuds S. We understand that comfort is incredibly important, particularly for extended listening.

      Since you found the WF-1000XM5 to be too large, we'd like to recommend exploring our other earbud options that prioritize a more compact and ergonomic design. If you prefer an in-ear style but with a smaller footprint than the WF-1000XM5, the WF-C700N are a great option known for their lightweight and snug fit.
      We appreciate your feedback and it helps us improve our products.
