      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 sony-global

    Like every other thing in this world these days, you have to download an app. Otherwise it will turn off the noise cancelling at random times. Disconnects frequently. I’ve had mine just over a year and they’ve already crapped out. Won’t charge. What a waste of money. They will not replace it because it is two months out of warranty. Insane that their product barely lasts a year. Bose stands by their products.

      Hi Brandon1,

      We're glad that you like its incredible audio quality. We're sorry you've been running into difficulty. For fit concern, our WF-1000XM5 earbuds feature a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit and the new Noise Isolation Earbud Tips are made from an exclusive material that improves fitting and increases comfort thanks to reduced pressure in the ear due to a newly designed shape. The earbuds come in four sizes, including SS.

      To ensure optimal performance, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headset from falling out, change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. When wearing them, gently pull up on the top of your ears, put the earbud tips in your ear canal, and then twist the earbuds into place. This makes sure the earbuds are firmly in the ear canal.

      In addition, the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Great sound quality if you just want to listen to music. Terrible when it comes to phone calls, on your end you can hear them fine. On their end you get either an echo or a lot of interference. I’ve tried multiple people, different locations. Thought it was maybe service on my end or my phone. Also on an iPhone you can’t edit the “change tap function”.. just buy the AirPods Pro.
