Hi GarrettS,

Thank you for taking the time to review your WF-1000XM5 earbud headphones. While we're glad that you like most of the features, we regret to hear you've been running into difficulty. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. When charging the unit The indicator (orange) on the charging case lights up. After charging is complete, the indicator on the charging case turns off.

Regarding the notification with voice guidance, when the remaining battery becomes low, a warning beep sounds when you put the headset into your ears or while using the headset, and the voice guidance says, “Low battery”, so charge the headset as soon as possible. When the battery becomes completely empty, a warning beep sounds, the voice guidance says, “Battery is empty”, and the headset automatically turns off.

By using the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can change the language of the voice guidance, turn on/off the voice guidance, and set the voice guidance volume. For more details about the voice guidance, please visit this help guide link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000781304.html

It's unfortunate that you consider returning the unit. We want to make sure you’re taken care of.
If you still have the unit and you need further assistance regarding your concern, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Hi Halo, Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sony XM5 wireless earbuds. We're sad to hear that you are not happy with the sound quality. Depending on the caller’s voice characteristics or the ambient environmental noises, the audio signal processing that is mounted on the headset may not work well and the call sound quality may be reduced.

If your voice sounds too loud or the sounds in your surroundings are bothering you, turn off [Capture Voice During a Phone Call] on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.

For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

Hi Joseph,

We are really sorry if our WF-1000XM5 didn't live up to your expectations. This is certainly not the news we'd like to hear from you. If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance. To isolate the problem, please follow our suggested troubleshooting steps on this Help Guide link:

Hi egnurlaup,
Thank you for your time writing this review. We're sorry to hear that the WF1000XM5 does not fit properly on your ears. Please try some solutions below:

If you already change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. Check the earbud insertion angle. Adjust the fit of the headset units to your ears. Hold and rotate the headset unit with your thumb, index, and middle finger to adjust the headset to fit your ear.
After putting the headset unit into your ear, hold the side of the headset unit with your fingers and slowly push the earbud tip into your ear canal.
Wait for about 10 seconds for the earbud tip shape to stabilize.
For reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000778771.html

Hi SebastianO,
Thank you for your time writing this review. We're sorry to hear that we were not able to meet your expectations with your WF1000XM5 earbuds. This is definitely not the experience we want you to have with our product. Allow us to help turn this to a better experience.

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. If the earbuds aren't fit snugly in your ears, they may feel heavier and more likely to fall out. 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.

With regard to the touch sensor sensitivity, you can adjust the function of the touch sensor through the Sony | headphone connect app. This may help to reduce accidental activation of the controls. For more details: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000779848.html
