The WF1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market.

Posted .Hi AngelaC,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit is greatly appreciated.
For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing both earbuds properly. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible. 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. Perform [Determines Optimal Earbud Tips] and confirm that [Earbud tips are air-tight.] is displayed. If the display is a display other than the above, push the earbud tip slowly into your ear canal or replace it with another earpiece and measure again.

Hearing that the wf1000xm5 are the best earbuds you’ve ever had—especially since you’ve tried many different brands—is the ultimate compliment!

Horrible waste of money. Do not buy.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
