    The design and color of the earbuds are very nice. The seal of the earbuds is great and the ambient noise passthrough works very well.

    To be honest, it's not as good as the airpods pro 2 in that (1) ANC is weak (2) it's not on the same par in terms of sound (3) the tips that come with it are very low quality and looks like it will easily rip apart with time. I like the multi-connection tho.

      Hi Steve,

      Thanks for commenting. While we are glad to hear your satisfaction with the multipoint connection feature of your WF-1000XM5, we are really sorry if its sound quality, noise canceling function, and supplied earbud tips didn't live up to your expectations. This is certainly not the news we'd like to hear from you. If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance. For optimum performance, please ensure that you are wearing the headphones correctly. For instructions, please refer to the following links:

    I used the XF1000XM5 buds for a year, but lately the connection with my Samsung watch and phone is horrible. There is a lot of interference; I practically cannot use the buds on the street and in my gym. I asked Sony to replace the old buds, and got new one. But, I still have a lot of interference even with the new one. I also still have XF1000XM4 and they do not have any connection issues. Very disappointed with XF1000XM5.

      Hi DenisG, We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointment on the Sony XM5 Wireless earbuds, This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have.

      First, for optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Sound Connect app). Here's the link for the firmware update.
      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/software/00296561

      Second, please try these steps to resolve the connection issue:
      -Check that the headset is turned on.
      -Check that the Bluetooth device is turned on and the Bluetooth function is on.
      -If the headset automatically connects to the last connected Bluetooth device, you may fail to connect the headset to other devices via a Bluetooth connection. If this is the case, operate the last connected Bluetooth device and disconnect the Bluetooth connection.
      -Check if the Bluetooth device is in sleep mode. If the device is in sleep mode, cancel the sleep mode.
      -Check if the Bluetooth connection has been terminated. If terminated, make the Bluetooth connection again.
      -If the pairing information for the headset has been deleted on the Bluetooth device, pair the headset with the device again.
      -Charge the charging case.
      -Set the headset units into the charging case, and close the charging case lid.
      (You may be able to resolve some issues by setting the headset units into the charging case.)
      -Reset the headset.
      -Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.


      You may refer to this links on how to reset and initialize the headset:
