Hi Timbecausetimistooshort, Thank you for sharing your review of the WF-1000XM5. We are sorry to hear that they did not meet your expectations, especially in comparison to your Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 earbuds.
Regarding your concerns about noise cancellation, it is important to ensure that the headphones are worn properly for optimal performance. The noise canceling function can be significantly affected if the earbuds do not fit properly. For better noise cancellation, try using different sizes of ear tips and make sure that the noise-canceling function is enabled and correctly adjusted using the Sony | Headphones Connect app.
As for the sound quality and fit, you might experience differences based on personal preferences and ear shapes. Switching to different earbud tips may help achieve a better fit and could enhance both noise cancellation and sound quality. Hope this helps and thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam

Hi CharlesL, thank you for sharing your experience—losing an earbud during a run can be very frustrating, especially when you’re unable to notice right away due to continuous playback on the other side. We understand how important it is to maintain a complete set for the best listening experience.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated as we strive to enhance the design and features of our earbuds. However, it's important to note that the loss of an earbud is generally not included under the standard warranty or repair policies, which primarily address manufacturing defects and technical issues. In the event of a lost earbud, the standard course of action is to purchase a replacement. We suggest contacting Sony Support for further assistance. Our support team can help clarify your options and, when feasible, guide you in acquiring a replacement to ensure you can continue enjoying your listening experience.

If you require assistance with this process or wish to have a further discussion, please reach out to our customer support team directly. They will be more than happy to guide you through the next steps.
