Hi franksink,

Thanks for your comment. While we are thrilled to hear about your satisfaction with the amazing sound quality of your WF-1000XM5, we are really sorry if its loudness and fit didn't live up to your expectations. This is certainly not the news we'd like to hear from you. The earbuds may not work as designed if they are not worn properly, or the size of the earbud tips doesn't match the size of your ear canals. The following information on this article is important in order to maximize the volume, noise canceling function, and sound quality for music and calls.

Hi AngelaC,

Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit is greatly appreciated.

For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing both earbuds properly. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible. Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. 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. The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc. Perform [Determines Optimal Earbud Tips] and confirm that [Earbud tips are air-tight.] is displayed. If the display is a display other than the above, push the earbud tip slowly into your ear canal or replace it with another earpiece and measure again.

Hi Jamgar, thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that the noise cancellation performance of the WF-1000XM5 did not meet your expectations, especially during your flight. We appreciate your positive comments about the earbuds' portability and sound quality.

Noise Cancellation can be influenced by several factors, and we want to help you get the best experience possible. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you might find helpful:

- Ensure the earbuds fit properly in your ears with the best size earbud tips for each ear, as improper fit can significantly reduce noise canceling effectiveness. The Sony | Headphones Connect app can help you measure air-tightness and find the optimal tip size.
- Confirm that Noise Canceling mode is activated, not Ambient Sound mode. You can toggle this directly on the earbuds or in the app.
- Try turning off the Adaptive Sound Control feature in the app, as it can automatically adjust noise cancellation based on detected activity, sometimes switching modes unexpectedly.
- If you’ve already checked these settings, you can reset or initialize the earbuds as a next step—returning them to factory settings to resolve potential software glitches.
- It’s important to note that while the WF-1000XM5 provides strong noise cancellation, it is most effective for low-frequency sounds such as engine noise from vehicles or planes, but some higher-frequency sounds may not be fully canceled.

If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, please reach out to our support team for further assistance, as we’re committed to ensuring your satisfaction with our products.

Thank you again for your honest feedback—it helps us improve our products and service.

Best regards,
Gus
