Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi EnriqueH,

Amazing! We're glad that you like the sound quality, noise canceling function, and battery life of the headphones. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. 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!

Hi BioTeach23, Thank you for your review of the WF1000XM5. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that the product did not meet your expectations and it had to be returned.
Regarding the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), it is true that the WF1000XM5, being in-ear earbuds, may not provide the same level of ANC as the over-ear WH1000XM4 headphones. Over-ear headphones generally offer better passive noise isolation due to their design, which can enhance the effectiveness of ANC.
We understand that fit and comfort are crucial for an enjoyable listening experience. The fit of earbuds can vary significantly from person to person, and it is unfortunate that the provided ear tips did not offer a secure fit for you.

We value your input and thank you for sharing your feedback. I hope you consider our Sony products in the future.

Regards,
Sam

Hi Cruz,

We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are having connectivity issues. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Check that both earbuds are 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 those issues.

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:
