    The sound is fantastic and the app is easy to use. However, I had to return them because they were constantly connecting to my phone even when in the case with the lid closed. Very frustrating.

      Hi Derick,

      We're glad that you like the sound quality and dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you had connectivity issue with the earbuds. For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony app). Both earbuds must placed correctly on the charging case. Each headset unit will be set to the correct position in the charging case by the built-in magnet. Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue.

      Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

      Hi Protector,
      Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. We're really sorry to hear that your WF-1000XM5 earbuds didn’t fit well and that one side stopped working.

      For the fit, we recommend trying the different ear tip sizes included in the box, sometimes a different size can make a big difference in comfort and staying in place.

      For the side that stopped working, we’d like to help get this fixed for you. Please reach out to our support team with your product details and we’ll guide you through troubleshooting steps.

      Find their contact information here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      Thanks for considering Sony and bringing this issue to our attention.
