Hi BlakeS, thank you for sharing your positive feedback on the sound quality and noise cancellation of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds, and for highlighting your concern about the firmness of the ear tips.

Your experience is appreciated—achieving the best fit is essential for both comfort and optimal sound and noise cancellation performance. Sony has provided several recommendations and options for users who find the supplied ear tips too firm or uncomfortable:

- The WF-1000XM5 comes with multiple sizes and types of foam ear tips in the box. It’s recommended to try all included sizes to find the best fit.
- For those who find the foam tips a bit firm, a good technique is to gently roll or compress the foam tip between your fingers before placing it in your ear, which allows the foam to expand for a tighter and more comfortable seal. Some users also note that the foam tips may develop a “break-in period,” softening and conforming better with regular use and warmth from the ear.
- The Sony | Headphones Connect app includes a fit test feature, allowing you to verify ear tip selection and seal digitally, which can help to further optimize your experience.
- Regular cleaning of the tips and checking for the best fit can also help maintain comfort and sound performance.

Sony values your feedback and is committed to ensuring your comfort and satisfaction. If you continue having difficulty with the standard tips, please consider reaching out to Sony Support for guidance on obtaining alternative tips or further assistance.

Thank you for choosing Sony!

Please note that the effectiveness of the WF-1000XM5's noise cancellation can be influenced by how well the earbuds fit and seal in your ears.
