Hi AnnaF,
Thanks for reaching out about the WF-1000XM5 earbuds and your experience using them at work. We understand how important it is to be able to use a single earbud and still have full control, especially for pausing your audio.

You're right, the left earbud on its own can't pause playback. The pause function and the automatic in-ear detection are both tied to the right earbud. So when you take out the left earbud, the audio continues to play, which we know isn't ideal for your situation.

It's a great piece of feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve our products, and customer input like yours is incredibly valuable.

We know this isn't the solution you were hoping for, but we hope this helps clarify why the earbuds work the way they do.

Thanks for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.
Sincerely,
Estefany

Thank you for your fantastic review, Bjorn!

We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the premium performance of your WF-1000XM5. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that the excellent noise canceling is creating a distraction-free listening environment for you.

We are also very glad that you are experiencing the good quality surround sound and the capability to fully enjoy advanced formats like 360 Reality Audio. We designed these earbuds to provide a truly immersive and spatial audio experience, and your feedback is a wonderful validation of that effort.

Thank you again for choosing Sony to elevate your daily listening experience!

Hi BioTeach23, Thank you for your review of the WF1000XM5. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that the product did not meet your expectations and it had to be returned.
Regarding the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), it is true that the WF1000XM5, being in-ear earbuds, may not provide the same level of ANC as the over-ear WH1000XM4 headphones. Over-ear headphones generally offer better passive noise isolation due to their design, which can enhance the effectiveness of ANC.
We understand that fit and comfort are crucial for an enjoyable listening experience. The fit of earbuds can vary significantly from person to person, and it is unfortunate that the provided ear tips did not offer a secure fit for you.

We value your input and thank you for sharing your feedback. I hope you consider our Sony products in the future.

Sam

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.

Hi Jenny, Thank you for this amazing feedback! We're delighted to hear you are enjoying our newest Industry-leading noise cancellation earbud headphones.

Hi Giovanni,
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback on the WF-1000XM5. It's fantastic to hear that you're loving the sound quality.
We're genuinely sorry, however, that the fit isn't quite working out for you, especially during activities like running or working out.

To help you get that perfect seal and stability you need for active use, we strongly recommend you experiment with the different sizes of ear tips included in the box. Even a slight change in size can make a huge difference in stability and overall seal.

We hope this suggestion helps you get the secure fit you need!

Thanks for considering Sony and for your feedback.
Warm regards,
Estefany
