      Hi crussell, we're glad you love our product! 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 WF1000XM5 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! ~Earl Sony_US

      Hi EdgarjM, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the WF-1000XM5. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the features and design of the case. However, we sincerely apologize for any disappointment regarding the sound volume and battery life.
      Your comments are invaluable to us as we continuously strive to enhance our products.

      Regarding the battery life, consider the following factors:

      - Features like the equalizer, DSEE Extreme, and noise canceling can significantly reduce battery life. For instance, using high-quality playback settings can consume more power.
      - Ensure that the charging case is adequately charged and the earbuds are properly seated for charges.
      - You can also perform a factory reset if you face persistent issues. Detailed instructions can be found here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

      Hi JeffreyH, we're glad you like the sound quality of our product. We're sorry to hear that you had returned your Sony unit because of the fit. It is recommended changing 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.

      We have our Support team that is always happy to assist. You may email anytime us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details: Name: Username: Model Number: Issue: Telephone Number:

    I have to say, I love the earbuds. Sound quality was great, and the noise canceling for earbuds is amazing. However, it did hurt my ears. Tried all the different sizes and couldn't keep them on for that long. Plus battery life was shorter than I would have liked.

    Will not be total noise cancelling but very good earbud nonetheless. Like the app to set up the pods and control sound settings. Adaptive sound control is great as well and will let ambient noises around you in. When I’m on a moving vehicle and resting my head agains the vehicle frame all noise comes in through the earbuds, think the vibrations disrupts the adaptive sound control

      Hi RyanS,

      That's wonderful to hear you're impressed with the sound quality and overall performance of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds! We appreciate your honest feedback on the durability of the noise isolation earbud tips. The tips are a polyurethane foam/silicone hybrid designed for the best ANC seal and, as consumables, they do wear down over time.

      For official Sony replacement tips (EP-NI1000 series), we recommend checking authorized online retailers or using the dedicated WF-1000XM5 replacement tips request form on the Sony Support site.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
