Posted .Hi Brandon1,
We're glad that you like its incredible audio quality. We're sorry you've been running into difficulty. For fit concern, our WF-1000XM5 earbuds feature a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit and the new Noise Isolation Earbud Tips are made from an exclusive material that improves fitting and increases comfort thanks to reduced pressure in the ear due to a newly designed shape. The earbuds come in four sizes, including SS.
To ensure optimal performance, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headset from falling out, change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. When wearing them, gently pull up on the top of your ears, put the earbud tips in your ear canal, and then twist the earbuds into place. This makes sure the earbuds are firmly in the ear canal.
In addition, 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. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess

Posted .Hi MrPiggy,
Thank you for the fantastic 5-star review! We're excited to hear you're loving the Sony WF-1000XM5 headphones.

Thank you for choosing Sony!

I was very surprised when I used them on my last flight, the noise cancellation we not good at all. I used the app too set the modes and I just want happy considering the price and hype.

Posted .Hi Jamgar, thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that the noise cancellation performance of the WF-1000XM5 did not meet your expectations, especially during your flight. We appreciate your positive comments about the earbuds' portability and sound quality.
Noise Cancellation can be influenced by several factors, and we want to help you get the best experience possible. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you might find helpful:
- Ensure the earbuds fit properly in your ears with the best size earbud tips for each ear, as improper fit can significantly reduce noise canceling effectiveness. The Sony | Headphones Connect app can help you measure air-tightness and find the optimal tip size.
- Confirm that Noise Canceling mode is activated, not Ambient Sound mode. You can toggle this directly on the earbuds or in the app.
- Try turning off the Adaptive Sound Control feature in the app, as it can automatically adjust noise cancellation based on detected activity, sometimes switching modes unexpectedly.
- If you’ve already checked these settings, you can reset or initialize the earbuds as a next step—returning them to factory settings to resolve potential software glitches.
- It’s important to note that while the WF-1000XM5 provides strong noise cancellation, it is most effective for low-frequency sounds such as engine noise from vehicles or planes, but some higher-frequency sounds may not be fully canceled.
If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, please reach out to our support team for further assistance, as we’re committed to ensuring your satisfaction with our products.
Thank you again for your honest feedback—it helps us improve our products and service.
Best regards,
Gus

compare to linkbuds to make sure which is best 4u
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound very good and good noise cancel -- not as good as some review say. They seem to be a bit better, but not much than my linkbuds that wore out (and were way less $$). Seems these are a bit better on noise cancel, and without comparing the links side by side I have to say they sound nearly the same. I'm not blown away by the 'upgrade' I did. Not disappointed either. Indfiferent lol.
