    I just bought a pair of JBL pure bass, zero noise, earbuds that are normally $99 dollars on sale for $69, .That put these to shame. Don't wash your money on these. They have more bass, more clarity, more battery life.

      Hi RandyV,

      We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the headphones. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Sound Connect app).

      If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance. If any of this is the case, try the following.

      -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 Sound Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.
      -Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.

      Additionally, you can use the Equalizer/CLEAR BASS setting of the Sony app to fine-tune the sound quality to your needs.

      For more information, please refer to these links:

      Please note that usage hours may vary depending on the settings and usage conditions. Make sure to charge both earbuds sufficiently. You may find these links helpful:

      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.
