Hi Alaska907,

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Sony WF-1000XM5. We're truly sorry to hear that the earbuds didn't provide the fit and comfort you were hoping for. Everyone's listening needs and ear shapes can be different, and while the WF-1000XM5 includes multiple ear tip sizes designed to help with comfort and secure fit, we understand they may not have been the right match for you.

Your feedback is valuable to us, as it helps us improve future designs. We appreciate you giving them a try and hope you'll consider us again in the future for your audio needs.

You made the right choice with the Sony WF-1000XM5! Rest assured that improvements are made to the XM5 for better overall user experience. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market.

Hi linz,

We regret to hear that you are not completely satisfied with the headphones. Your feedback about the glossy design, fit, and noise is greatly appreciated.

For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly. Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different. The Sony Headphones Connect app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible. For more information, please refer to this link:
