Posted .Hi Marek, Thank you for the feedback! 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! -Craig

Posted .Hi FrankA,
We are so sorry to hear that you're not getting the sound quality you were hoping for with your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. To get the best sound, the fit is crucial. In the Sony | Headphones Connect app, try the "Determines Optimal Earbud Tips" test to find the best size for your ears. You can also use the equalizer in the app to customize the sound to your liking.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Not worth the money.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just bought a pair of JBL pure bass, zero noise, earbuds that are normally $99 dollars on sale for $69, .That put these to shame. Don't wash your money on these. They have more bass, more clarity, more battery life.

Posted .Hi RandyV,
We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the headphones. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Sound Connect app).
If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance. If any of this is the case, try the following.
-Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different.
-The “Sony Sound Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.
-Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.
Additionally, you can use the Equalizer/CLEAR BASS setting of the Sony app to fine-tune the sound quality to your needs.

No tracking
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great earbuds except for the fact that you can’t really track them on IPhone and have to directly get an entire accessory just to find them. This all leads to the fact that they are expensive, which you would think they would have a good way to track them.

Sony Does It again
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are incredible! Upgraded my QC 35 to these because only one side on the bose would work by itself. The noise cancelling is 2nd to none. The audio quality is amazing and they heard the reviews and made the buds smaller and the case. This was a home run by Sony.

Lack of a secure fit... exchanged
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought them then returned for Bose QCII's. I bought them originally for the longer battery life but the lack of a secure fit, being the only thing holding the headphones from dropping all the time and eventually breaking would be the ear tips. I don't prefer jamming them in my ear so the Bose have a more relaxed fit. Just my 2 cents I have an active job and maybe if someone is doing rigorous exercise to avoid. Maybe Sony will make ear-fins?

Over hyped!! But good.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the WF-1000XM4s and they were great head phones. Then I got the WF-1000XM5s and though they are better to wear in the ears, the bone sensing feature os extremely annoying. When I'm on the treadmill or even chewing gum or doing something with my jaw the audio gets cut off because of the headphone having to adjust. This is extremely annoying! Its the one thing I regret about buying an upgrade?

Posted .Hi Ref3129,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the fit of the headphones. Your feedback about the Speak-to-Chat function is greatly appreciated. The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when the headset detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases, it may activate in response to vibrations caused by devices such as electric toothbrushes, electric massagers, and electric shavers, or by activities such as brushing your teeth, coughing, or humming. In cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident, set Speak-to-Chat to “L Sensitivity”. You can change the sensitivity by using the Sony Headphones Connect app. For more information, please refer to these links:

Posted .Hi NicholasF,
We're delighted to hear that you find the fit and sound of the WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds to be great. We sincerely apologize that your experience with calls has been disappointing, as call clarity is a crucial function. We understand that call performance, especially in noisy environments, can sometimes be affected by the aggressive noise suppression on the microphone. Please ensure your earbuds have the latest firmware update via the Headphones Connect app, as we frequently release updates that address performance concerns. Additionally, checking that you have the optimal ear tip seal (using the fit test in the app) and cleaning the microphone mesh can sometimes improve voice pickup. If the issue persists, contact our support team, as they can provide more advanced troubleshooting or determine if this requires further assistance. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

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.
