      Hi Mari,
      Thank you so much for the feedback. We're glad to hear you're enjoying the sound quality of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds, but we're really sorry to hear you're having connection issues and that they aren't working as seamlessly as they should with Siri and your notifications. That's definitely not the experience we want for our customers. We also appreciate you letting us know about the issue with them falling out of the case.

      For the connection issues and notification problems, we have a few recommendations that might help:
      1. Try turning Bluetooth off on your phone and then back on. You can also try "forgetting" the WF-1000XM5 in your phone's Bluetooth settings, then re-pairing them.
      2. Make sure your earbuds have the latest software. You can do this through the Sony | Sound Connect app.
      3. A full reset can sometimes clear up persistent issues. You can find instructions for this in the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

      We know it's frustrating to have these issues, and we appreciate your patience. If further assistance is needed, we suggest you to contact our support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.
      Sincerely,
      Estefany Sony_US

    Possibly the best headphones on the market. Sound quality is impeccable and they have a very snug fit with the different sizes for the ear plugs they have. Only issue i had was the case comes open a little to easily and ended up losing one of my headphones

    As someone who owned the apple air-pods pro 2, and tried both the Bose QC ultras and Technics az100…do not settle for less. These bring the whole package in terms of astonishing sound quality and clear, crisp instrumentals along with a tight base. The ANC quality is fantastic, leaving nothing between you and your music experience. I constantly find myself reaching for these in excitement when I want a concert like experience at any random moment, coffee shops, my workplace, even at home before going to bed. They are that good..

    [Employee of bestbuy] These are really comfortable earbuds and do a wonderful job in terms of sound quality for wireless headphones. The active noise canceling is impressive and the device free controls are pretty easy to use too. While they still don't hold a candle to wired options, these are a good option for on the go listening.

      Hi Juan,

      Thanks for the 4-star review! We're happy to hear that you're loving the clear phone call quality and the amazing improvements we've made in that area. It's a key focus for us to ensure a reliable and clear connection for calls.

      We appreciate you bringing up the connection issue with certain devices, and you're right, that's something that shouldn't be happening. If you continue to experience this, we'd recommend trying a few troubleshooting steps like a simple restart, or checking the "Prioritize Stable Connection" setting in the Sony | Sound Connect app to see if that helps. You can find more information on the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000780014.html

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!

      To help you find that perfect fit even faster, we recommend using the Sony | Sound Connect app. It has a built-in "Determines Optimal Earbud Tips" test that measures the air tightness of your seal to let you know which size is actually best for your ears.
