    While I love Sony products, including this product, the battery life is very short lived and the largest earpieces prevent the proper seating of the buds in the case, so they don't charge. I realize technology is constantly being updated so hopefully better battery technology will help with the battery life.... but Sony...honestly, what's with the design flaw around the case fit?

      Hi Pioneerelite,

      Amazing! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality and dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) 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 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:

      Sony Support Contact: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.

    The sound quality beats anything else. Only gripe is when ANC is on and your running, there is like an echo or thump noise you can hear. Turn off ANC and it stops. The app took some getting used to but works very well.

      Hi ChristopherC,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the app and noise canceling function is greatly appreciated.

      When using the headset, you may hear vibrations transmitted through your body while walking or running, and you may also hear biological sounds such as heartbeats and breathing sounds. This may occur due to the nature of the product and is not a malfunction. When the noise canceling function or Ambient Sound Mode is turned on, vibrations from walking, running, or shaking of the head may be transmitted through the body, and be heard as rattling or popping noises. This may occur due to the nature of the product and is not a malfunction. You may also find this link helpful:

    I had the older version of this kind of wireless / sport Sony headphones, and I was in need of an upgrade. Just getting older and worn out, nothing unexpected and purchased these. So glad I did. It’s almost as if Sony actually listened to consumers who reviewed the older model and this is the byproduct. Very pleased with the upgrade.
