    Ill make this short and to the point. Nice case, good size, fit nice in my ears, and a good app for customization. I returned them for the galaxy buds 2 pro for half the price. Imo, i don't know what makes these worth 300 dollars.

    Works pretty well. Case sucks opens up after minamal moving and earbuds end up flying all over the place to get broke.

      Hi Earbuds,

      Thanks for the feedback! We're glad to hear the WF-1000XM5 earbuds themselves are working well for you. We're really sorry to hear about the issue you're having with the charging case. That's definitely not the experience we want our customers to have. We'll certainly pass this feedback about the case durability and design to our product development team. It's valuable insights like yours that help us improve.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!

    Perfect sound and clarity all time preferred. Just one adjustment has to be in mind and is that they get loose in your ear and fall out with too much movement.

      Hi JuancR, Awesome! We're thrilled to hear you like the amazing sound and clarity of your new Sony WF1000XM5. We recommend trying different ear tip sizes and experiment with the positioning to achieve a snug fit. The WF-1000XM5 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 WF-1000XM5 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! -Sam Sony_US

    Great earbuds except for the fact that you can’t really track them on IPhone and have to directly get an entire accessory just to find them. This all leads to the fact that they are expensive, which you would think they would have a good way to track them.

      We appreciate your input and your honest perspective, as it helps us continue working to improve the overall experience.

    Sound quality is absolutely fantastic. I ride a motorcycle, ans these are a daily use for me because of the ANC that Sony uses, and it blocks out almost ALL outside sound. I highly reccomend this.

      Hi RyanS,

      That's wonderful to hear you're impressed with the sound quality and overall performance of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds! We appreciate your honest feedback on the durability of the noise isolation earbud tips. The tips are a polyurethane foam/silicone hybrid designed for the best ANC seal and, as consumables, they do wear down over time.

      For official Sony replacement tips (EP-NI1000 series), we recommend checking authorized online retailers or using the dedicated WF-1000XM5 replacement tips request form on the Sony Support site.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
