XM5 earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is unmatched. They do have a tendency to slide out of my ears slightly when running, I just adjust them really well, and no more issues.

I know the price is high but comparing these to even the top of the competition is a walk in the park for these guys. The lows are amazing and the highs are crisp.

Great Sony Ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There’s a lot of great technology built into these ear buds. Tap one to start and stop. Tap the other to switch from noise canceling to ambient sound. Wonderful sound quality and decent noise canceling. Not as good as over the ear headphones but good for earbuds. Main complaint is they don’t stay in your ears very well.

Posted .Hi SpicyChorizo, we're glad you are enjoying your new earbuds. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with the fit of your Sony unit. 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 check this link for more details:

Posted .Thank you for your detailed feedback on the WF-1000XM5, Truckwithxm5. We truly appreciate hearing what works for you, and where your experience could be improved. Please find responses to each of your points below:
1. Connection Instability
We’re sorry to hear you’ve experienced frequent connection drops. True wireless earbuds can be sensitive to environmental factors (such as crowded wireless environments or physical obstacles) that affect Bluetooth stability. To help improve performance:
Ensure your earbuds and connected device have the latest firmware installed. Updates often include stability improvements.
Try resetting or re-pairing the earbuds for a fresh connection.
Keep both earbuds and device within line of sight when possible, and avoid areas with excessive wireless interference.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please consider reaching out to support for further assistance specific to your usage scenario.
2. Battery Discharge Differential
A noticeable difference in battery consumption between the left and right earbuds can occur, as one bud often acts as the primary unit for connections and calls. However, if the imbalance is significant (e.g., one side drains much faster or cannot fully charge), it could indicate a service issue. We recommend:
Fully charging the earbuds and case.
Checking for debris in the charging contacts.
If the issue persists, contacting customer service. If battery performance is affected as described, service may be necessary, and support can provide a repair or replacement based on warranty status.
3. Noise Canceling Performance
Your feedback about the noise canceling not meeting expectations is important to us. The performance of noise canceling depends greatly on fit and seal; the foam ear tips provided come in different sizes, and finding the best size for your ears can make a substantial difference. Some users have noticed significant improvements by using the app’s “Earbud Fit Test” or by slightly adjusting how they insert the earbuds.
External factors—like the type of noise and earbud positioning—can affect results. If you continue to find the feature underwhelming after troubleshooting, we'd like to investigate further.
4. Comfort and Fit
We’re glad to hear your earbuds never fall out and are lightweight. Comfort and security are essential, and your positive remarks in this area are appreciated.
If there’s any way we can help you get the most out of your WF-1000XM5s, please contact our support team. Your feedback helps us improve both our products and support for our customers.
Thank you for giving Sony a try.
Best regards,
Gus
