Great in ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son got these and he loves them, he usually needs to wear over the ears (xm4) but he got these for when he is working out and he says they are awesome. The only negative he has is that he loses them sometimes because they are small…… but that isn’t Sonys fault

Solid earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Will not be total noise cancelling but very good earbud nonetheless. Like the app to set up the pods and control sound settings. Adaptive sound control is great as well and will let ambient noises around you in. When I’m on a moving vehicle and resting my head agains the vehicle frame all noise comes in through the earbuds, think the vibrations disrupts the adaptive sound control

Posted .Hi Nazgul,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the noise canceling function and dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit is greatly appreciated.
For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly. 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.
