Customer Ratings & Reviews

Thank you for your review, Consumer.

We are sorry to hear that the WF-1000XM5 earbuds are not meeting your expectations regarding volume and bass, and that you are experiencing difficulty with them falling out of your ears. This is definitely not the comfortable, high-performance experience we intend to deliver.

The fit of earbuds is crucial for both comfort and audio performance, especially bass response and noise canceling effectiveness. We recommend trying the following:

Change Ear Tips: The WF-1000XM5 comes with multiple sizes of noise isolation earbud tips. Please experiment with the different sizes (L, M, S, and SS) to find the one that creates the tightest, most secure seal in your ear canal. A good seal is essential for maximizing bass and volume.


Check the App EQ: If you still desire more volume and bass, you can adjust the equalizer settings directly within the Sony | Headphones Connect app to customize the sound profile to your preference.

If you continue to experience discomfort or poor sound quality after trying different tips and EQ settings, please contact our support team directly. They can provide more personalized guidance to ensure you get the reliable performance and fit these earbuds are designed to deliver:

Hi JohnW, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you really enjoy the noise cancellation and magnificent sound quality of the Sony - WF1000XM5. But we're sorry to learn you experienced audio drops while using them. We understand this can be frustrating.

Here are a few steps and recommendations that can help to solve the problem:

1- Try to rotate the earbuds depending on the shape of your ear. Covering the microphone can affect the performance causing audio dropouts.
2- Set the headset to [Prioritize Stable Connection]. You can do this by using the Sony Headphones connect app.
3- If you're enjoying music from your smartphone, the situation may be improved by closing unnecessary apps or restarting your smartphone
4- Turn off the Adaptive Sound Control setting. This can be found on the Sony Headphones Connect app too.
