Fantastic sound!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buds don't wanna come out of the case. This leads to fumbling a bud here or there. If you don't mind chasing em down a time or two then these are FANTASTIC!

Posted .Thank you for your feedback on the WF-1000XM5, ThomasC. We're glad to hear you find them fantastic overall. We understand your concern about the buds being a bit tricky to remove from the case, which can lead to fumbling.
A potential solution might be to ensure the buds are magnetically secured when docked in their case, providing a more secure grip for easier removal. Additionally, adjusting the angle or grip when removing them can help prevent drops.
If you have further concerns or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Excellent earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality with punchy bass. The sub bass is a little lacking though. Excellent noise canceling and the ambient noise passthrough sounds very natural to me. Overall these are my favorite earbuds so far.

Posted .Hi TobyA,
Thanks for commenting. We are thrilled to know that love your WF-1000XM5, and that you are satisfied with its exceptional noise canceling function. We are sorry if you are experiencing an automatic Bluetooth connection when your headphones are placed on your pocket. To avoid this problem, please ensure that your headphones are set into the charging case correctly so they turn off automatically before putting them into your pockets. Put the left headset unit (the headset unit with the tactile dot) back into the left hole of the charging case, and put the right headset unit back into the right hole of the charging case. Each headset unit will be set to the correct position in the charging case by the built-in magnet. You may also try cleaning the contact points on the charging case and earbud headphones to further isolate the problem. For more details, please refer to the following links:

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are smaller than the xm4s and do make some amazing sound! I do wuestion the ANC when using as a needed situation. They do a really good job at it, but i feel like the prior version is slightly better with ANC.

Posted .Hi RyanS,
That's wonderful to hear you're impressed with the sound quality and overall performance of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds! We appreciate your honest feedback on the durability of the noise isolation earbud tips. The tips are a polyurethane foam/silicone hybrid designed for the best ANC seal and, as consumables, they do wear down over time.
For official Sony replacement tips (EP-NI1000 series), we recommend checking authorized online retailers or using the dedicated WF-1000XM5 replacement tips request form on the Sony Support site.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
