    Well, I almost never write a review when something works like it advertises but; these just survived a trip thru the washing machine and work like day 1. Just a little spot drying and all good. Though if you're smaller of stature these may be too big for your ear lobes to stay in.

      Hi ScottC,

      That's quite a feat! While the WF-1000XM5s are water resistant, they're not waterproof. In the future, it's important to be cautious when handling your earbuds near water sources. We do have good information on how to care for the headphones here:

      Hi Daniel, nice! We're glad you are enjoying our product. The WF1000XM5 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 WF1000XM5 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! ~Earl Sony_US

    These aren't bad, but I still prefer my regular Sony headphones. They seem to have hardtime staying in my ears and the Bluetooth has a tendency to cut out when listening.

      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.
