Hi AngelLW,

Thank you for your 4-star review of the Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless Noise-Cancelling Earbuds! We're delighted to hear that you find the sound quality amazing and believe others "won't go wrong" with them.

We also appreciate you bringing up the distortion issue you've experienced, particularly with your S24 Ultra in crowded areas like New York City. This is valuable feedback. For this concern we can recommend checking the Sony | Sound Connect app, where there's an option to "Bluetooth Connection Quality." You can often choose between "Prioritize Sound Quality" (which uses higher-bitrate codecs like LDAC) and "Prioritize Stable Connection." Selecting the latter might reduce instances of distortion in busy areas by optimizing the connection for stability.

We hope the information comes in useful, thanks for choosing Sony!

Hi TorresG,

Thanks for commenting. While we are thrilled to know about your satisfaction with the amazing sound quality of your WF-1000XM5, we are really sorry you're experiencing Bluetooth connection issues while your headphones are placed in the charging case. This is certainly not the news we'd like to hear from you. To avoid this problem, please ensure that your headphones are placed correctly into the charging case so they turn off automatically. Place the left headset unit (the one with the tactile dot) back into the left hole of the charging case, and place the right headset unit back into the right hole of the charging case. Each headset unit will be positioned correctly in the charging case due to the built-in magnet. You may also try cleaning the contact points on the charging case and earbud headphones to further troubleshoot the issue. For more details, please refer to the following links:

Hi Sauced9x0, Thank you for sharing your experience with the WF-1000XM5 earbuds. We're thrilled to hear that you found the sound quality to be on point. Regarding water resistance, the WF-1000XM5 earbuds have an IPX4 rating, which means they are protected against water splashing from any direction. It's impressive that your earbuds survived a trip through the dryer, although we recommend avoiding such situations to prevent potential damage. The touch sensor issue on your right earbud might be a result of the exposure to water and heat. For future reference, if your earbuds get wet, use a soft dry cloth to wipe off any water, remove the earbud tips, and shake the earbuds gently to remove any water from the sound conduits and microphone parts. Let them dry at room temperature. For more details, please refer to this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000781399.html

We also appreciate your feedback about the "Find My iPhone" feature. While the WF-1000XM5 does not currently support this, we value customer suggestions and continuously strive to improve our products. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam
