Posted .Hi ParisJ,
Thanks for your honest feedback! It brings us great joy to hear that you're enjoying the sound of your WF-1000XM5, but we’re sorry to hear the battery life is falling short.
To help you get more listening time, we recommend trying these steps:
-Open the Sony | Sound Connect app and ensure your earbuds are running the latest software version.
-Features like DSEE Extreme, Speak-to-Chat, and Voice Assistant (Always-on) use extra power. Try turning these off in the app to see if battery life improves.
-If the drain persists, you can try resetting the earbuds using the instructions on our support page: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783924.html
Give those a try!
Thanks for considering Sony and sharing your feedback.
Warm regards,
Estefany
I hope the battery is better than the XM4s
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the XM4’s and they were great until the battery worked fine and then abruptly would last for 15-20 minutes. Sooo, as long as these last longer than 18 months, I will be happier. No drastic improvement from the sound quality from the 4s but I am also not an audiophile. With that said, I prefer these over the Apple products, Bose and Jaybirds.

Love the sound not the style.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are amazing headphones and are of amazing quality. However they are not for me. The design with the glossy finish is a big no for me. They remind me of the old galaxy buds. They are slippery and feel like they're about to fall. Whitfield fel

Not worth the price. XM4's were way better.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i find that the sound quality and fit of the WF1000XM4 are way better. The XM5 sporadically will stop playing on one ear, and then start playing again. This has not been fixed yet with a firmware update. This issue is very brief and only lasts less than 1 second. i also find myself always having to adjust the earbuds in my ear because they feel like they will fall out or the noise cancelation is not working correctly and i have tried different sized tips. Overall i dont like the XM5.

Posted .Hi JovanyT, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We're glad you like the sound quality and fit of the WF1000XM5.

Please set the earbuds to “Priority on stable connection” using the Headphone Connect app. Disable Speak-to-Chat feature. The Speak-to-Chat mode starts automatically when you talk to someone. The headset pauses or mutes the music being played. It may sound like the sound skips when this occurs, but it is not a malfunction. Please follow this link for more details:
