      Hi WillieA,
      Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the WF-1000XM5.

      To elevate your audio experience, open the Sony | Sound Connect App and explore the Equalizer settings. Switching between presets or using the "Find Your Equalizer" tool, makes a significant difference in audio quality.

      Thanks for considering Sony. Hope that helps!
      Warm regards,

    Incredible sound quality and noise cancellation for earbuds. My only issue is that the ear tips are a bit too hard / not squishy enough for fitting in the ear canal perfectly, which is recommended for ideal sound cancellation.

      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!

    Upgraded from the XM-1000 3, and these are pretty much better in every way. Smaller, longer battery life, better sound/call quality, better anc. Highly recommend.

      Hi Jayden,

      Amazing! We're thrilled that you like the size, battery life, sound quality, and noise canceling function of the headphones. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Hi JasonT,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the battery life of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not satisfied with the fit and noise canceling function. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Sound Connect app).

      Aside from changing the earbud tips, make sure that you are wearing both earbuds properly. 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. If you touch the touch sensor, the headset may operate. If you feel it is difficult to put the earbud tips into your ears, squeeze the earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. You may find this link helpful:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000778771.html

      The noise canceling effects may not be achieved depending on how the headset units are worn.
      If you use the video function of your smartphone or other devices to record and check how the headset units are worn in your ears, you can understand its feel when worn and get closer to discover the correct way to wear the headset.

      The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. When the Adaptive Sound Control on the Sony Sound Connect app is turned on, the wearer's actions, like walking or running, are detected. The noise canceling function is automatically adjusted and the Ambient Sound Mode may be activated according to these actions. To make the most of the noise canceling function, turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it.

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

    Superior noise canceling but they stay on even though I put them back in my case. They make receiving phone calls a task because you have to go to your call options and pick phone speaker or headset. I’m using an Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max. The Apple AirPods just sync better with the iPhone. I wanted some quality earbuds. They sound amazing but it’s going to take an update to fix the bugginess.
