    Lack of a secure fit... exchanged

    I bought them then returned for Bose QCII's. I bought them originally for the longer battery life but the lack of a secure fit, being the only thing holding the headphones from dropping all the time and eventually breaking would be the ear tips. I don't prefer jamming them in my ear so the Bose have a more relaxed fit. Just my 2 cents I have an active job and maybe if someone is doing rigorous exercise to avoid. Maybe Sony will make ear-fins?

    I have the WF-1000XM4s and they were great head phones. Then I got the WF-1000XM5s and though they are better to wear in the ears, the bone sensing feature os extremely annoying. When I'm on the treadmill or even chewing gum or doing something with my jaw the audio gets cut off because of the headphone having to adjust. This is extremely annoying! Its the one thing I regret about buying an upgrade?

      Hi Ref3129,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the fit of the headphones. Your feedback about the Speak-to-Chat function is greatly appreciated. The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when the headset detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases, it may activate in response to vibrations caused by devices such as electric toothbrushes, electric massagers, and electric shavers, or by activities such as brushing your teeth, coughing, or humming. In cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident, set Speak-to-Chat to “L Sensitivity”. You can change the sensitivity by using the Sony Headphones Connect app. For more information, please refer to these links:

    These are incredible! Upgraded my QC 35 to these because only one side on the bose would work by itself. The noise cancelling is 2nd to none. The audio quality is amazing and they heard the reviews and made the buds smaller and the case. This was a home run by Sony.

      The WF1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market.

      Hi EdgarjM, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the WF-1000XM5. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the features and design of the case. However, we sincerely apologize for any disappointment regarding the sound volume and battery life.
      Your comments are invaluable to us as we continuously strive to enhance our products.

      Regarding the battery life, consider the following factors:

      - Features like the equalizer, DSEE Extreme, and noise canceling can significantly reduce battery life. For instance, using high-quality playback settings can consume more power.
      - Ensure that the charging case is adequately charged and the earbuds are properly seated for charges.
      - You can also perform a factory reset if you face persistent issues. Detailed instructions can be found here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

      Hi JacobS, Thank you for your feedback on your new Sony WF-1000XM5. We're glad to hear that you are enjoying the audio quality, which is one of the key strengths of the WF-1000XM5. We understand that finding the perfect fit can vary from person to person. We recommend trying different ear tip sizes and experimenting with the positioning to achieve a snug fit. 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:
