Hi JonpaulA, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback about your WF1000XM5. We're glad you like the excellent noise canceling feature of these earbuds. At Sony, we are always looking to improve our product quality and features. We have noted your input about the touch sensor sensitivity and will be sure to forward this feedback to the appropriate department. You can change the function assigned or you can also choose not to assign any functions to the touch sensors on the left and right headset units using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app while you're in a gym to prevent the earbuds from pausing a song when you accidentally touch the sensors.
And for connectivity issues, please follow the troubleshooting steps on this link:

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:

Thank you for your thorough feedback on the WF-1000XM5, Alex. Your observation highlights what many users have noticed: the WF-1000XM5 offers outstanding noise cancellation for music and media playback, as well as excellent audio quality, but the noise cancelling experience can be different during calls.

For general listening, the WF-1000XM5 utilizes advanced processors and multiple microphones to deliver industry-leading noise cancellation and high-fidelity sound, which is widely regarded as some of the best available in its class.

However, it is important to note that, like many noise cancelling headphones, the effectiveness of the noise cancellation features may be reduced during phone calls. This is because the same microphones are often used both for detecting external noises (to generate the anti-noise signal) and for picking up your voice. In call mode, the system prioritizes capturing clear speech, which can allow more ambient noise through for both you and the person on the other end of the call. Some users have reported that, compared to listening modes, noise cancellation during calls does not block out as much background sound.

This design is fairly common among leading brands and helps ensure your voice remains natural and intelligible. Still, user experiences can vary based on fit, environment, and expectations. We always recommend ensuring a proper earbud fit and updating firmware, as this can impact both noise cancellation and call performance.

Thank you again for your honest assessment—your points are very helpful to others considering the WF-1000XM5!

Best regards,
Gus
