Great! We're glad that you like the sound quality and fit 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!

Great Earbuds!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first Sony earbuds were the WF1000XM3...then I upgraded to the WF1000XM4...now I've upgraded again to the WF1000XM5. So, if you see a pattern, then you're correct - these are really great overall earbuds. If you have the budget and are looking for one of the best earbuds, then I highly recommend giving these a try.

Posted .Hi CharlesL, thank you for sharing your experience—losing an earbud during a run can be very frustrating, especially when you’re unable to notice right away due to continuous playback on the other side. We understand how important it is to maintain a complete set for the best listening experience.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated as we strive to enhance the design and features of our earbuds. However, it's important to note that the loss of an earbud is generally not included under the standard warranty or repair policies, which primarily address manufacturing defects and technical issues. In the event of a lost earbud, the standard course of action is to purchase a replacement. We suggest contacting Sony Support for further assistance. Our support team can help clarify your options and, when feasible, guide you in acquiring a replacement to ensure you can continue enjoying your listening experience.
If you require assistance with this process or wish to have a further discussion, please reach out to our customer support team directly. They will be more than happy to guide you through the next steps.
