    My son got these and he loves them, he usually needs to wear over the ears (xm4) but he got these for when he is working out and he says they are awesome. The only negative he has is that he loses them sometimes because they are small…… but that isn’t Sonys fault

      Hello Nburn9000,

      Thank you for considering Sony products.

      We apologize that the WF-1000XM5 earbuds did not provide the comfortable fit you were hoping for, despite your efforts with different ear tip sizes. We understand how important a secure and comfortable fit is for an enjoyable experience. This is certainly not up to the quality standards we strive for, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Rest assured, we will forward your comments to our dedicated Sony team for their review as we continue to work diligently to improve our products.

      Best regards,
