Ok and not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using these headphones for the last few weeks and i am a little disappointed in the product. When i put them in my ear, it hurts over time and the noise canceling function is ok. My recommendation is to buy headphones that are cheaper and would be the sam quality.

Not good materials
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not a good seal ! Sometimes hard to take earbuds out of case with sweaty hands . Lighter color (sliver) is better at not showing any light micro scragches and slme obovius scratches as well as finger prints from sweaty marks from ears and hands and no dust attraction unlike black color . Slightly thinping noise which is improved from the xm4 buds.

Posted .Hi linz,
We regret to hear that you are not completely satisfied with the headphones. Your feedback about the glossy design, fit, and noise is greatly appreciated.
For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly. 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. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible. For more information, please refer to this link:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000778771.html
For the noise that you are experiencing, the troubleshooting steps on this link may help resolve the issue:

Posted .Hi HarryG,
We're sorry to hear that you are having some issues with your WF-1000XM5 earbud headphones and it hasn't performed to your standards. This is not the experience we want you to have. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated.
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.
Please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/articles/00262839
By using the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can make few adjustments to your headphones settings to suit your needs. This will give you more control over your headphones and their performance. For more details, you may refer to this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/articles/00286844
If you still have the unit and you need further assistance regarding your concern, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Quality does not match high price tag
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Earbuds fall out easily and one earbud disconnects and reconnects especially if you are moving around while wearing. Bluetooth range is very small. I have to stay within 15 feet of the device even when the space between is open. I wish I had purchased the Bose for the same price.
