Posted .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!

Good at Best for ME
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price ($300.00) I was not overly impressed. The sound was good, but as I expected, the ANC was not great compared to the Sony WH1000XM4 (Over the Ear) headphones that I have. Finally, I returned these because I could just not get a great fit with any of the provided earbuds. Over time, they seemed to slip out of my ear canals. The earbuds never fell off, but the seal was not consistent. I much prefer the fit of my much cheaper PowerBeats Pro that hook over my ears. The Beats do not have ANC, but maybe I don't need that in my earbuds.

Posted .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

RANDOM CONNECTION
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the XM4’s and my headphones would randomly connect to my phone at times which was annoying. I got these because I loved the noise canceling on the 4’s and was looking forward to the upgrades and smaller design. These headphones sound great but I give 2 stars because they won’t stop connecting to my phone when I’m not using them. They’re in my backpack in another room and they connect to my phone. They’ll be in my pocket (in the case of course) and they’ll connect to my phone. It is so annoying that I really just want to get a different pair of headphones. I’m at the point where I don’t care how good they are, they won’t stop pairing when they’re in the case. The XM4’s have done it a handful of times but these. ALL THE TIME!!!! I am so frustrated with these.

Posted .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. Please refer to the steps on these links:

Posted .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:

Amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previously had the XM4 earbuds and loved them, although they were a bit bulky. I wasn't sure how they could be better, but the XM5 earbuds are vastly impoved for sound, call clarity and noise cancelling. I used these on a work call in my running diesel and another at a McDonald's with talking and loud music in the background and none of the noise was noticable by others on the calls.
