      HI ChristianG,

      We are glad you appreciate the quality of our products! We understand that comfort and fit are crucial for enjoying the WF-1000XM5. For the best seal and stability, please ensure you have tested all four sizes of the noise-isolating earbud tips, as a snug fit is essential for both noise cancellation and preventing movement while talking or eating.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    I use these primarily at work instead of a traditional over the ear headset. They sound great on my end and I'm told they sound great to the other party. It takes a moment longer to put them in my ear when I'm receiving a phone call but they have a solid feel and are easy to insert.

    Mic quality on calls

    I purchased these earbuds primarily for their touted AI-driven noise cancellation during phone calls. While the performance is satisfactory, it falls short of being the best, exhibiting an unusual crackling, slight voice muffling, and an unnatural sound quality. They work fine for music, but for daily, extended phone calls, they don't quite measure up. Consequently, I opted to return them and instead invested in the Nothing Ear 2. The latter excels in both sound quality and microphone performance, making it a more favorable choice for my needs.

    Best earbuds to replace my WF-1000XM3 and those earbuds still competes with today's current market. Its not as good as apple in terms of connecting quickly to its paired device, but the quality and noise cancelation leaves airpods behind.

    Only a couple of months in and nothing but positives…sound quality, check/noise cancellation, check/easy to set up with an app to further customize sound settings, check. Really the only downside would have to be price as they are on the higher end but still in line with the Bose and most others of this caliber.

      Thank you for sharing your honest experience, Gris1969.

      We sincerely apologize that the WF-1000XM5 earbuds did not provide the long-lasting battery life or reliable connection you expected for your wife, especially when compared to other earbuds you have used. We understand the frustration of having a premium product that does not consistently last the day or maintain a stable connection.

      The issues you described, particularly battery drain and connection stability, can sometimes be linked to specific settings or firmware. We encourage you to try the following steps, which often resolve these issues and may improve her experience:

      Ensure the earbuds are running the latest firmware using the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Updates often include stability and battery optimizations.

      Perform a Reset of the earbuds, and if the issue persists, perform a full Initialization (which restores them to factory settings and deletes all pairing info). Instructions for both can be found in the Sony Help Guide for the product.

      Within the Sony | Headphones Connect app, check the following settings as using certain features simultaneously (like Noise Cancelling, DSEE Extreme, or setting the Sound Quality Mode to "Prioritize Sound Quality") will significantly decrease the available operating time. Switching to "Prioritize Stable Connection" can sometimes help with dropouts.

      Ensure the charging contacts on both the earbuds and inside the charging case are clean and free of pocket lint or debris, which can interrupt charging and cause unexpected drain.

      If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the short battery life and connection issues, the earbuds may require service. Please reach out to Sony Support directly for personalized assistance or to explore warranty and service options.

      We regret that this purchase has not met your expectations.
