      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,
      -Fred Sony_US

    Good - But Not Great or Worth an Upgrade

    The earbuds are good. Their design is sleek, slim, and smooth. I not a fan of how they fit and I did have the XM4's before this, which in my opinion were better. I don't believe they're sealing very good with my ears, which is reducing the effectiveness of the ANC. They do have good sound to them though, but I don't believe most people would hear a difference between the XM4 and XM5.

      Hi Moose,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the design and sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the fit and noise canceling function is greatly appreciated.

      For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

      If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance. If any of this is the case, try the following.

      -Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different.
      -The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.
      -Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.

      For more information, please refer to this link:
      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000778771.html

      Aside from having the right fit, the other steps on this link may also help you have a better experience with the noise canceling function:
