||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were OK. They didnt grip in my ear very well, and I did not like the smooth finish on the buds. Noise cancelling and audio quality was OK, but did not adequately block out the construction noises I work around.

XM 5 call quality in a loud environment

Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using the Sony Link S now for about 1 year.I bought the XM 5 and have returned them.When talking in a loud room no one I was talking on the other end could make out what I was saying even after the firmware update.I Used my LInk S and what a difference.People I was talking to were able to clearly understand and hear me. Sony, for this price the XM 5’s call quality in a loud environment is terrible when making calls. I am back to my Link S.

Posted .Hi Alexa1,
We regret to hear that you were not satisfied with the WF1000XM5. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated.
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. It is recommended to wear the headset properly.
Thanks for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

Great for listening but connects by itself in case
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great, but there is something wrong with the consistency in quality. My buds kept connecting to my device, while in the case, therefore draining battery. By the time I wanted to use them, they never had enough power. I tried all of the steps for fixing it. Sony ended up sending replacement. will see if problem persists. Futhermore, phone call quality is pretty terrible. While I have no problem hearing the person on the line, the other people tell me I sound like I'm underwater

Please don't buy these
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely disgusted by this purchase. Got water damage, less than 3 months old. Sony doesn't offer warranties, nor has the ability to repair it. Best Buy won't help. This is totally broken, and costs over $300 with tax. Sony's recommendation is to "check the yellow pages and find a repair center". Please, do not purchase these earbuds. They aren't good quality and break very easily with no hope of fix. Connectivity isn't that great either. Sound is ok, not as good as Airpods. Such a waste of money.

Good noise cancelling if they can fit and stay on
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked the functionality of the earbuds overall. I have an Android phone, and it works really well with my phone. However, I had to return my earbuds because I have ears that have really huge openings, and the largest ear tip that came with the device was too loose for my ears. This made me force to really shove them deep in my ears to ensure they don't fall off, but in the process the notches for the charging contacts irritate my ears. I felt like if I have to deal with these inconveniences now, I'll have to deal with them for the duration of my ownership of the earbuds, so I had to return it and switch to the Bose earbuds.

Posted .Hi Shubert,
We regret to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the headphones. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. For optimum fit and comfort, it is recommended to wear the headphones properly. Twist the headset unit to fit it snugly into the ear canal, and adjust the positioning of the headset unit until it fits comfortably. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different. The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app allows you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.
Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

Posted .Hi AlexT,
Thank you for your time writing this review. While we are glad you like the WF1000XM5, we're sorry to hear the trouble you are experiencing when pairing the earbuds to your iPhone. Allow us to help troubleshoot the issue.
The WF1000XM5 work well with both Android and Iphone devices. For optimum performance, ensure that the headphones software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements. Please try some solutions below to troubleshoot if pairing with a Bluetooth device cannot be done.
Bring the headset and the Bluetooth device within 1 m (3.2 ft) from each other.
If there is a device nearby that has been connected with the headset using LE Audio before, the device may be automatically connected with the headset when the headset enters pairing mode. Turn off the Bluetooth setting of the device with the connection history, and then pair the headset with a new device.
Restart the connected device such as a smartphone or a computer you use, and pair the headset and the device again.
Charge the charging case.
Reset the headset.
Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.
