    These aren't bad, but I still prefer my regular Sony headphones. They seem to have hardtime staying in my ears and the Bluetooth has a tendency to cut out when listening.

      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.

      For more information, please refer to this link:
      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000778771.html

      Hi BryceC, Thank you for the wonderful review! We're very pleased to hear you appreciate the excellent noise cancellation, great sound quality, super awesome and comfortable eartips, and great and reliable app of your new Sony WF1000XM5. The WF1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US
