      Hi Patrick,
      Thank you for sharing your feedback about the WF1000XM5 earbuds. We are pleased to hear how much you're enjoying the product overall. However, we understand that the fit issues you've experienced can be quite frustrating, especially during activities like running.
      We appreciate your input and want to ensure you have the best experience possible. If you haven't already, we recommend exploring different ear tip sizes that come with the earbuds, as a more secure fit can often be achieved through this adjustment.

      We hope this helps and thank you for considering Sony products.
      Best regards,
      Stephanie Sony_US

      Hi Tabi, we're glad you like the sound quality of our product. The WF1000XM5 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 WF1000XM5 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! ~Earl Sony_US

    Purchased for my husband as he has severe tinnitus so while mowing pur yard he can drown out the ringing. The noise canceling helps him to only hear the music he plays and he doesn't hear the sound of the mower or weedeater!! He absolutely loves them

    I had the older version of this kind of wireless / sport Sony headphones, and I was in need of an upgrade. Just getting older and worn out, nothing unexpected and purchased these. So glad I did. It’s almost as if Sony actually listened to consumers who reviewed the older model and this is the byproduct. Very pleased with the upgrade.

    These sony earbuds sound ok. I carry 2 sets of earbuds. My sonys sound amazing during phone calls ,but for music it lacks quality. My bose quiet comfort sound awesome for music, but for phone calls they are the worst buds ive ever used. The issue i have with my sonys is that the left bud dies 1.5 hours before the right one does
