    Like every other thing in this world these days, you have to download an app. Otherwise it will turn off the noise cancelling at random times. Disconnects frequently. I’ve had mine just over a year and they’ve already crapped out. Won’t charge. What a waste of money. They will not replace it because it is two months out of warranty. Insane that their product barely lasts a year. Bose stands by their products.

      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,

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.
