      Hi Randaman,

      Perfect! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality 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!

    Product seems to work well. For music and calls. App can be a bit more user ffriendly...sometimes they do feel like they are slipping out the ear..but for the most they are good.

      Hi ShaW, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WF1000XM5! We're glad to hear it works really well for music and calls. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the app's user-friendliness and will take it into consideration for future updates.
      Regarding the fit of the earbuds, we recommend trying different sizes of the included ear tips to ensure a more secure fit. This can help prevent the earbuds from feeling like they are slipping out. For more details on how to wear them properly, please refer to this link:

      Hi Advz1, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WF1000XM5. We're glad you like the great sound quality and incredible noise cancellation of these earbuds. We're sorry to hear that the earbuds turns on randomly while inside your pockets. This is usually not the case for our WF1000XM5 nor the experience we want you to have. To better isolate this issue, can you tell us if the earbuds turns on even when the charging case is closed? In the meantime, please make sure that the left and right earbuds are properly set into the charging case, and close the charging case lid. If you are unable to resolve your concern, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

      Hi Brandon1,

      We're glad that you like its incredible audio quality. We're sorry you've been running into difficulty. For fit concern, our WF-1000XM5 earbuds feature a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit and the new Noise Isolation Earbud Tips are made from an exclusive material that improves fitting and increases comfort thanks to reduced pressure in the ear due to a newly designed shape. The earbuds come in four sizes, including SS.

      To ensure optimal performance, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headset from falling out, change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. When wearing them, gently pull up on the top of your ears, put the earbud tips in your ear canal, and then twist the earbuds into place. This makes sure the earbuds are firmly in the ear canal.

      In addition, the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US
