      Thanks for your review, GloriaL.

      It's great to hear that the sound quality is appreciated! The WF-1000XM5 is known for its exceptional audio performance, which enhances the listening experience.

      For the issues with connectivity and navigating the Sound Connect app. This situation can prevent them from easily switching to a paired device. In such cases, it is often recommended to adjust the Bluetooth settings on the device or manually switch connections through the device’s Bluetooth settings menu.

      Additionally, ensuring that the Sound Connect app is updated to the latest version can help resolve functionality issues. It's advisable to check for updates and, if required, initialize the headphones after the update.

      If persistent issues occur, switching the connection from LE Audio to Classic Audio mode in the Sound Connect app may resolve some of the problems experienced with call connectivity or app linking.

      If these steps do not improve the situation, further troubleshooting or contacting customer support may be necessary.

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced. We hope our support team can resolve the issue with your headphones promptly!

    Very nice sounding earbuds. They come with 4 different sized rubber ear plugs. The app for them is very good. There is sound presets along with an equalizer. Phone calls are clear with no distortion. The noise canceling is decent but could be better in my opinion. Overall sound quality is very good. I highly recommend these earbuds.

      Hi ihasbestbuy,

      We are sorry to hear you're occasionally experiencing grainy audio with your WF-1000XM5 earbuds, as this is definitely not the intended experience. We appreciate you troubleshooting it by rebooting.

      This symptom is sometimes related to an interference issue. Please try the following steps, which often resolve intermittent audio quality drops:

      Disable DSEE Extreme: If you are using the Sony | Headphones Connect app, try turning off the DSEE Extreme feature to see if it stabilizes the connection and audio processing.

      Prioritize "Stable Connection": In the Sony | Headphones Connect app, go to the Sound tab and set the Bluetooth Connection Quality to "Priority on Stable Connection" instead of "Priority on Sound Quality." This often prevents drops or static, especially in high-interference environments.

      If the issue persists, please check for and install any available firmware updates via the app.

      Thank you for your feedback.
      Best regards,
      Eliab sony-global
