I Would Not Purchase These
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these to replace a pair of WH-1000XM4’s, the left earbud battery only lasts about 1 hour. The microphone quality for phone calls is terrible, nothing but complaints about not being able to be heard. Sound quality for music/movie playback is excellent. I’ll be returning these.

Not worth the premium price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These weren’t for me. For the price I expected a better fit and a better feel in the quality. Sound quality was good but again not something I can tell the difference with compared to others. I’d increase the rating if the price was more in line with AirPod pros.

Posted .Hi Matt, We're sorry to hear that the Sony WF1000XM5 didn't live up to your expectations. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. We understand that finding the perfect fit can vary from person to person. We recommend trying different ear tip sizes and experimenting with the positioning to achieve a snug fit. You can 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. Please follow this link for more details:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000781968.html
