    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I miss the XM4. The changes in design has made it so that the earbuds never fits quite right in my ear, and I've used multiple tip types. Also, if you only use one ear bud, it doesn't default to noise canceling. You can turn on NC manually or use adaptive control, but even then adaptive controls keeps turning off in the app. Meaning it defaults back to ambient noise. If you drop the case the buds just go flying out, I've almost lost them multiple times. It happened occasionally with the xm4s, but the xm5 magnet is weaker I think. Battery life, connectivity, and sound are great, but the problems I outlined make it a fail in my book.

      Hi Acw00, Thank you for your feedback on the WF-1000XM5. We appreciate your detailed review and are sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered.
      Regarding the fit of the earbuds, we understand that comfort and secure fit are crucial. If you've already tried different sizes and types of ear tips and you continue to experience discomfort, please reach out to our support team for further assistance.

      For the noise-canceling feature, we acknowledge that it should ideally activate automatically when using a single earbud. We will pass on your feedback to our development team.

      The concern about the earbuds falling out of the case is noted. We will look into the magnet strength and case design to ensure the earbuds remain secure during everyday use.

      We're glad to hear that you are satisfied with the battery life, connectivity, and sound quality of these earbuds.

      Thank you for choosing Sony. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US.

    I’ve been waiting for these for about a week now. Sound is excellent up until the software update. They sound low now & don’t get me started with the eartips. They dont even reach my ear entrance to have a snuggle fit. I’ve tried all tips & even went as far as trying out the ear fit tester on the app. They all say 100% tight fit minus the ss size. The case itself feels cheap like cardboard & is scratched easily . Im giving it 3 stars only based on the aduio qaulity before the software update. If i were you id wait until the price drops. Will be returning mine tomorrow

      Hi ThomasK,

      Thank you for the review and we're glad to hear that you like the sound quality of the headphones. We do apologize for the inconvenience. The bass sound quality will depend in the source that you're playing. When the source does not contain much of bass sound, the bass sound may not be audible. We recommend using the Sony headphones connect app to adjust audio settings depending in your preference for better audio experience.

    The sound is absolutely amazing. Paired with my S21 Ultra the Ldac is next level, coming from a $70 pair of SOUNDCORE. I do wish they kept the matte finish on the buds themselves, but had no problems after picking the right ear tips. The app is great once you get through the 20 minutes of updates and setup.
