Hi Tastey,

We're delighted to hear that you appreciate the sound quality and noise cancellation of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. However, we're sorry to learn that you're encountering charging issues and that some features aren't functioning as expected. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. The WF-1000XM5 earbud headphones may fall out or feel uncomfortable during use if they are not worn properly or the earbud tips doesn't match the size of your ear canals. Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears.

We have a recommended way of wearing these earbud headphones to reduce discomfort. Please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/articles/00262839

For the Speak-to-Chat function, you can use the “Sony Sound Connect app" (formerly Sony Headphones Connect app) to switch between enabled/disabled, change the sensitivity of the automatic audio detection, and change the time until the Speak-to-Chat mode ends. The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when the WF-1000XM5 detects the speech of the person wearing the them, but in rare cases it may activate in response to vibrations caused by devices such as electric toothbrushes, electric massagers, and electric shavers, or by activities such as brushing your teeth, coughing, or humming. In cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident, set Speak-to-Chat to “L Sensitivity”.

If the earbuds do not charge, please visit this link to help resolve the issue: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00298367?utm_source=glean

Hi TaraG,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your experience.
It is most rewarding to hear how much you enjoy the sound quality of your WF-1000XM5, but we are truly sorry to hear that the right bud fell out and is now lost. We know how frustrating that is.

For this particular case and this model, a replacement is not yet available for purchase, but they will be soon. Please bookmark this article and check back for updates: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00189241

In the future, we recommend using the Sony | Sound Connect app, which has a test to help you find the best tip size for a more secure fit.

Thanks for considering Sony and sharing your feedback.
Warm regards,
Estefany

Hi HusnuK,

Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality and battery life of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit is greatly appreciated. For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing both earbuds properly. Put the headset unit with the (left) mark into your left ear and the headset unit with the (right) mark into your right ear. The left headset unit has a tactile dot. If you feel it is difficult to put the earbud tips into your ears, squeeze the earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. Adjust the fit of the headset units to your ears. Hold and rotate the headset unit with your thumb, index, and middle finger to adjust the headset to fit your ear. After putting the headset unit into your ear, hold the side of the headset unit with your fingers and slowly push the earbud tip into your ear canal. Check if there is a gap between the earbud tip and your ear canal because the earbud tip is not inserted all the way into your ear or the earbud tip is the wrong size.

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
