    Buds don't wanna come out of the case. This leads to fumbling a bud here or there. If you don't mind chasing em down a time or two then these are FANTASTIC!

      Thank you for your feedback on the WF-1000XM5, ThomasC. We're glad to hear you find them fantastic overall. We understand your concern about the buds being a bit tricky to remove from the case, which can lead to fumbling.

      A potential solution might be to ensure the buds are magnetically secured when docked in their case, providing a more secure grip for easier removal. Additionally, adjusting the angle or grip when removing them can help prevent drops.

      If you have further concerns or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Hi Brandon1,

      We're glad that you like its incredible audio quality. We're sorry you've been running into difficulty. For fit concern, our WF-1000XM5 earbuds feature a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit and the new Noise Isolation Earbud Tips are made from an exclusive material that improves fitting and increases comfort thanks to reduced pressure in the ear due to a newly designed shape. The earbuds come in four sizes, including SS.

      To ensure optimal performance, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headset from falling out, change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. When wearing them, gently pull up on the top of your ears, put the earbud tips in your ear canal, and then twist the earbuds into place. This makes sure the earbuds are firmly in the ear canal.

      In addition, 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. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

      Hi Prince,

      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.

      To achieve the best fit, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly. Put the headset units into both ears. Put the headset unit with the (left) mark into your left ear and the headset unit with the (right) mark into your right ear. The left headset unit has a tactile dot. Adjust the fit of the headset to your ears. Twist the headset unit to fit it snugly into the ear canal, and adjust the positioning of the headset unit until it fits comfortably. Wait for about 10 seconds for the earbud tip shape to stabilize.

      Hint: If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset.

      You may also find these steps helpful:

      -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.
      -Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.

      Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

    Definitely an upgrade from the prior model. Much smaller which is great. The case is also smaller which is also good. Both were too big before. Easier controls and better options for sound management.

      Hi ParisJ,
      Thanks for your honest feedback! It brings us great joy to hear that you're enjoying the sound of your WF-1000XM5, but we’re sorry to hear the battery life is falling short.

      To help you get more listening time, we recommend trying these steps:

      -Open the Sony | Sound Connect app and ensure your earbuds are running the latest software version.
      -Features like DSEE Extreme, Speak-to-Chat, and Voice Assistant (Always-on) use extra power. Try turning these off in the app to see if battery life improves.
      -If the drain persists, you can try resetting the earbuds using the instructions on our support page: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783924.html

      Give those a try!

      Thanks for considering Sony and sharing your feedback.

      Hi iiGR33DYii, thank you for your honest review of the Sony - WF1000XM5. We're very glad to hear you're enjoying the powerful bass and the impressive noise cancellation, it's great to know the music experience stood out for you!

      We're sorry to hear you're having issues with the call quality. That's definitely something we take seriously, and here are some troubleshooting steps that may help:
      1. Make sure the earbuds are worn properly. Hold and rotate the headset unit with your thumb, index, and middle finger to adjust the headset to fit your ear.
      2. If there is a gap between your ears and the headset units, your ears may not be sealed properly. Try the different ear tips included with the unit and Perform [Determines Optimal Earbud Tips] on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app and confirm that [Earbud tips are air-tight.] is displayed.
      3. Make sure the earbuds are updated to the latest firmware through the Sony Headphones Connect app.
