      Hi Mike,

      Thank you for your 4-star review of the Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the sound quality, which is something we pride ourselves on with the XM5s.

      We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding active use. While the WF-1000XM5 are designed with a comfortable and secure fit in mind, we understand that ear shapes vary widely, that is why there are different tip sizes included for you to go with the ones you feel the most comfortable with!

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!

    I enjoy these headphones more than others because theyre more easily tracked, and becuse it is easier to switch between sound settings. Audio is similar to beats, but more convenient to use.

    The WF-1000XM5's function great. Very impressive sound performance and design. I'm so happy Sony made these a bit smaller. The XM4's were too big and bulky and not very comfortable. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because for the price the XM5's should have have had a much higher IPX rating. Very disappointing that Sony decided to abandon that aspect of the premium buds. The earbuds support LDAC which is the codec I use. Make shure your phone supports LDAC

    Good sound quality, but bad design on the housing. It is hard to grab them out of charging box or you can easily drop to ground. All is because the material Sony choose is “slippery”.

    Pretty much satisfied with these earbuds. I had the Airpods, Bose and these. Out of the bunch, I would pick either the Aipods or Sony. If you have a android phone go with these and obviously an Apple would pair well with the Airpods. Noise canceling is ok. I do work in a loud environment and it would stuggle at times to keep the noise down. The sound from these are the best in my opinion. Sony did a good job on these but noise canceling could be better but its a thumbs up for me

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the WF-1000XM5, GooberBooger84. We are very glad to hear that you find them to be great and that you are impressed with the overall quality of the sound they produce.

      We understand your point about the bass not being as "punchy" as you would have liked. We designed the WF-1000XM5 to deliver a balanced and accurate sound signature across the entire frequency range, aiming for clarity and detail. However, we also know that bass preference is a very personal aspect of listening. If you haven't already, you might find that adjusting the equalizer (EQ) settings within the Sony | Headphones Connect app allows you to customize the sound and boost the bass to your liking.

      We truly appreciate your detailed and honest review. Your insights are invaluable as we continue to refine and improve our audio products. Thank you for being a Sony customer.
