Amazing Sound Quality, Otherwise Garbage
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is unrivaled. Nose cancellation is unrivaled. Doesn't matter when you essentially can't use them for phone calls. App on Android disappears so you have to search it in the app store to open it. Can't modify tap functions so if you try to adjust an earbud in a call you end up hanging up on the call. App is absolute trash and Sony should be ashamed.

Bad ear fit with Sony WF1000XM5's
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably pretty nice earbuds but neither myself nor my wife could make them fit and seal properly in either L or R ears. We tried all the ear tip sizes included with the buds, but none would achieve a proper seal according to the included test. Fit is of primary importance to us and includes their stability in the ear, wear comfort, and seal (for correct sound isolation/cancelation). If earbuds don't fit, then all their positive attributes fade into the background. Thankfully Best Buy allowed us to return them for full credit. So 5 Stars to them. We have moved on to evaluation of Bose Quite Comfort Ultra Earbuds, also from Best Buy. Evaluation is ongoing.

Posted .Hi S22UltraOwner,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re sorry to hear the fit didn’t meet you and your wife's expectations. We really wished we could turn your opinion around regarding our Sony WF1000XM5.

Posted .Hi Fatimacazares, thanks for commenting. We're thrilled to hear about your satisfaction with the reasonable price of your WF1000XM5. We're sorry if its call quality didn't live up to your expectations. Please ensure that the earbuds fit snugly in your ears. If the earbuds do not fit your ears, the phone call quality may decrease. Here are some important factors to consider:
• Make sure that headphones are worn properly.
• Make sure that the earbuds are firmly and completely attached. If you are using the supplied earbuds (EP-NI1010), lightly turn over the earbud tips to make sure that the sound output hole is completely covered by the earbud tip.
• Use the earbud tips that best fit with your ears. Measure the air-tightness of the earbud tips and find the optimal size of earbud tips using the Sony | Headphones Connect app.
For more details, please refer to the following articles:

I hope this helps you, and thanks for choosing Sony!

Posted .Hi Javier, Excellent! We're thrilled to hear you like the compact design and you find them convenient to carry and effortless to wear. The WF1000XM5 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! -Sam
