Hi Mark, Thank you for the positive review! We're glad you like the more compact design of your new Sony WF1000XM5.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Aidan.

We are delighted to hear that you find the sound quality of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds to be good, but we are truly sorry that they are super uncomfortable due to the hard eartips, which has led to them collecting dust. We understand that comfort is just as critical as sound quality, and we regret that they are causing you pain after a short period of wearing.

We would like to help you resolve this and get back to enjoying your premium earbuds. The WF-1000XM5 includes multiple sizes of ear tips in the box. We highly recommend trying the smallest or largest sizes to ensure a better seal that relieves pressure.

If you would like direct assistance with fit or have further questions, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team here:

We hope to help you find a comfortable fit so you can enjoy the amazing sound quality!

Hi Derose,

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 the glossy design, charging case, and fit is greatly appreciated.

For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly. 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.

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.
-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.

Hint: The function that determines the optimal earbud tips for you measures the air-tightness of the earbud tips and determines whether or not the headset units are being worn in your ears correctly. Select a size that fits comfortably.

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

Hi AlexT,
Thank you for your time writing this review. While we are glad you like the WF1000XM5, we're sorry to hear the trouble you are experiencing when pairing the earbuds to your iPhone. Allow us to help troubleshoot the issue.

The WF1000XM5 work well with both Android and Iphone devices. For optimum performance, ensure that the headphones software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements. Please try some solutions below to troubleshoot if pairing with a Bluetooth device cannot be done.

Bring the headset and the Bluetooth device within 1 m (3.2 ft) from each other.
If there is a device nearby that has been connected with the headset using LE Audio before, the device may be automatically connected with the headset when the headset enters pairing mode. Turn off the Bluetooth setting of the device with the connection history, and then pair the headset with a new device.
Restart the connected device such as a smartphone or a computer you use, and pair the headset and the device again.
Charge the charging case.
Reset the headset.
Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.
