These earbuds may not be suitable for individuals who prefer a bass-heavy sound profile. Additionally, I experienced discomfort in my right ear during use, and on one occasion, the foam tip became lodged in my ear.

Will not be total noise cancelling but very good earbud nonetheless. Like the app to set up the pods and control sound settings. Adaptive sound control is great as well and will let ambient noises around you in. When I’m on a moving vehicle and resting my head agains the vehicle frame all noise comes in through the earbuds, think the vibrations disrupts the adaptive sound control

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
