Hi Fiesta,

Amazing! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality, fit, 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!

Thank you for the review, JenniferP!

We are thrilled to hear that your WF-1000XM5 earbuds are a game-changer for your workday!

Hi Mari,
Thank you so much for the feedback. We're glad to hear you're enjoying the sound quality of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds, but we're really sorry to hear you're having connection issues and that they aren't working as seamlessly as they should with Siri and your notifications. That's definitely not the experience we want for our customers. We also appreciate you letting us know about the issue with them falling out of the case.

For the connection issues and notification problems, we have a few recommendations that might help:
1. Try turning Bluetooth off on your phone and then back on. You can also try "forgetting" the WF-1000XM5 in your phone's Bluetooth settings, then re-pairing them.
2. Make sure your earbuds have the latest software. You can do this through the Sony | Sound Connect app.
3. A full reset can sometimes clear up persistent issues. You can find instructions for this in the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

We know it's frustrating to have these issues, and we appreciate your patience. If further assistance is needed, we suggest you to contact our support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.
Sincerely,
Estefany

We appreciate you bringing up the connection issue with certain devices, and you're right, that's something that shouldn't be happening.
