      Thank you for your review, Consumer.

      We are sorry to hear that the WF-1000XM5 earbuds are not meeting your expectations regarding volume and bass, and that you are experiencing difficulty with them falling out of your ears. This is definitely not the comfortable, high-performance experience we intend to deliver.

      The fit of earbuds is crucial for both comfort and audio performance, especially bass response and noise canceling effectiveness. We recommend trying the following:

      Change Ear Tips: The WF-1000XM5 comes with multiple sizes of noise isolation earbud tips. Please experiment with the different sizes (L, M, S, and SS) to find the one that creates the tightest, most secure seal in your ear canal. A good seal is essential for maximizing bass and volume.


      Check the App EQ: If you still desire more volume and bass, you can adjust the equalizer settings directly within the Sony | Headphones Connect app to customize the sound profile to your preference.

      If you continue to experience discomfort or poor sound quality after trying different tips and EQ settings, please contact our support team directly. They can provide more personalized guidance to ensure you get the reliable performance and fit these earbuds are designed to deliver:

      We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.

    Sound is great, IMO better than WH1000XM6. Noise cancelling is insane. But just like the 4th gen I fear, one of the buds is already not aligning on battery life (10% difference) and likely going to go out rather soon. For the price, I want it to last at least 2 years....

      Hi Edward,

      Thanks for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you're so impressed with the sound quality and noise cancellation of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds, especially since you've used previous generations. It's a key feature that the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN2e works together with the Integrated Processor V2 to deliver our best-ever noise cancellation, which is what gives you that "insane" experience you mentioned.

      We're sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the battery life disparity between the two earbuds. We understand your frustration, and we want you to have a product that lasts as long as you expect it to. We would recommend trying a "calibration" of the battery by fully discharging and then recharging the earbuds a few times. If the issue persists, please reach out to our customer support team at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have a nice day.

The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market.

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!
