      Thanks for the 5-star review, DanielC! We're glad that you like them and we appreciate you recommending this product to others. 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! -Craig Sony_US

    Overall I like them, they have great sound and noise cancelling ambient noise etc. however,, they have a really poor fit, they barely stay in my ears despite changing the size of the tips. they need some securing or slim them down like the galaxy buds. App is bad.

      Hi Alex, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your Sony WF1000XM5. While we're glad you like the great sound quality and noise canceling feature, we regret to hear that these earbuds didn't fit great on you. We understand that finding the perfect fit can vary from person to person. We also recommend experimenting with the positioning to achieve a snug fit. If you've already tried changing the eartips to another size and you're still having issues with fit, we suggest trying out third-party eartips. Hope this helps and thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US
