Posted .Hello AlecH,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with your WF-1000XM5 earbuds not turning on automatically when removed from the case. To help resolve this, we recommend the following steps:
1. Confirm proper placement: Make sure the earbuds are securely and correctly placed in their respective slots (left in the left, right in the right) until they click or seat firmly.
2. Ensure the case is charged: The earbuds need the case’s battery to automatically turn on when removed. If the case is depleted, this feature will not work properly.
3. Update the firmware to version 5.0.2 here:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/software/00296561

Posted .Hi Wayne,
Thanks for reaching out to us with your concerns. we regret to hear you're not having the best experience with this earbud headphones and you've been running into some issues. 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. For more details about Connecting the headphones to 2 devices simultaneously (multipoint connection), please visit the links below.
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00249936
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1001106282.html
• Multipoint connection works with only two devices at a time.
- A third device can be connected through Bluetooth, however, the Bluetooth connection with the last device that played music will stay connected and the second device will be disconnected in order for the third device to establish the Bluetooth connection with the headphones.
• Download the Sony Headphones Connect app on one of the devices and make sure it has the latest update.
• If you want to play music from the other device, stop playback on the device that is playing the music, and start playback by operating the other device.
Even if you start playback by operating the second device while playing music on the first device, the music from the first device will continue to be heard via the headset. In this state, if you stop playback on the first device, you can listen to music from the second device via the headset.
• To ensure you get the best Bluetooth connection, please set the headphones Bluetooth Connection Mode to “Priority on stable connection”.
• We also recommended updating the firmware of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
It's unfortunate that you are considering returning the unit. We want to make sure you’re taken care of.
If you still have the unit, may we may we contact you to help? If so please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

Amazing product with a huge downside
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved the wf-1000xm4's and I needed a new pair. Well if you like a shaking/raddleing sound when you turn anc or ambient mode, this is the product for you. Turns out it happens on Every. Single. One. I looked it up and it's a flaw with the design of the headphones. The sound quality is top notch but I wish I knew they had this flaw.

The perfect earbuds?
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me preface with saying I’m an audiophile, and sound engineer. I have focal 906 bookshelves and svs pb3000 in my home, kenwood excelon components and FI subs in my car and Yamaha hs5s with and hs8s sub and Sony MDR 7506 cans in my studio and, so my standards are high. Sony knows how to make headphones, my MDR’s are incredibly neutral and accurate. I had the apple AirPod 2’s as my earbuds prior to these. I tried desperately to like them. For most people that use iOS devices, those will work quite well. For myself, I found them lack in sound quality, especially in the low-mid bass. It’s overdone, and muddy on top of that. I couldn’t find a preset in my iPhone that I could truly enjoy my music on. Not to say they are bad per se, ANC was good, integration within an iOS devices is great, and the “find my” feature is nicer. Despite my efforts to like them for more than just convenience, I couldn’t, and gave them away. I was torn between these, the Bose QC II’s, the B&W’s and the sennheiser momento’s. I had a set of Bose QC 35 cans. The ANC on those is astonishing, they have typical Bose tuning (emphasized bass and bright highs) and are great for when I want that Bose sound. After hours and hours of reading reviews, I boiled it down to the Bose and these. The Bose probably have a tad better ANC, as they should. (They invented the tech after all) but I decided to let sound quality be the deciding factor, as I listen to all kinds of music, and wanted the most neutral and accurate sound possible. The Sonys, to me, are perfect. More comfortable in my ear then the AirPod pro 2’s, more accurate, more robust midrange. I feel like apple and Bose really tune their stuff to just try to squeeze a bit too much bass out of a tiny driver. Ironically, the Sonys have the larger driver of the 3 earbuds. Nice lightweight case, they cold a charge for longer than the AirPods and I couldn’t stand the finish on the AirPod case (scratches so easy). The ONLY area they aren’t flawless in is low bass, but it doesn’t bother me, again, quality over quantity (and I have 2 15” subs on 3500 watts in my car if I want that). I’m really impressed by these earbuds, very happy I gave away the AirPods and picked the xm5’s up.

Posted .Hi NathanL, Thanks for sharing your feedback. We apologize if your ears hurt when using the earbuds. The WF1000XM5 comes with 4 earbud tips (SS/S/M/L).The M-sized earbud tips come attached to the left and right headset units at the time of purchase.
If you feel the size of the earbud tips does not fit of large enough to hurt your ears, you can change the earbud tips. 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. Hope this helps. Regards, -Craig

Almost the best. Almost.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excited to try out the earbuds this time around. Sony’s been good at making good ANC headphones and earbuds over the past years. So I’m hoping this will continue on. For future references, I’ll be referring to these earbuds as the XM5 rather than its full model name WF-1000XM5. I previously owned the XM3 earbuds. Comparatively large in physical size when compared to the XM5. Unfortunately I cannot truly compare the two now because I lost the charging case for the XM3. However, I do distinctly remember the physical size differences between the two. And the XM5 is definitely smaller this time around. The charging case has a USB-C port and pairing reset button at the back. Wireless charging is also available by setting the case upright on top of a wireless charger. The included USB-C cable, the most irritating and frustrating part of owning a Sony audio wear product, is once again short, coming in at over 6 inches in length. For the price you’re paying, it’s an insult to include a USB-C charging cable of this length. Sony continues the tradition of botching this up every time. Ensure you have a USB-C cable of preferred length around if you need to charge it using this method. There are 4 extra foam tips should the pre-installed size (Medium) don’t fit your ears. They’re SS, S, and L. For my ears, I ended up using SS. I have no problem replacing them and I did a fitting try after each size to check what works for my ears. At the moment, the earbuds are staying in my ears after some random head shaking. So that’s good news. One of the reviews I glanced over while waiting for the XM5 to be sent out mentioned a change in surface feel – to a gloss finish instead of matte. That person also says the change makes taking out the earbuds harder because of the smooth gloss finish. In this respect, I wholeheartedly agree with this. The gloss finish for the earbuds makes taking them out of the case harder. A matte finish would have made gripping them easier for removal from either the case or ears. This is a design flaw and decision that should not have made it through to manufacturing. If you intend on getting the XM5, I recommend being extremely careful when taking them out of the case or off your ears. There’s always that possibility of having butterfingers and an earbud slipping off, falling down to an unreachable crevice or spot. It’s the worst case scenario but it’s something you’ll need to keep in mind. Sound quality is as good as it gets for earbuds. It has decent highs and seems to have good lows. The tuning seems balanced and I have no issue with how it sounds after almost two hours with my audio testing playlist. Additional listening was done on a different playlist with a different set of songs. Active noise cancellation is on at maximum level and I heard no external noise while listening and with no audio playback on. ANC is excellent as expected from Sony and it reduces every sound around me down to nearly nothing. The microphone is probably the one area that these earbuds are weak on. A short test was run using the Recorder app on my Google Pixel phone and then listening to it. While it is acceptable in audio quality, it’s certainly not the best. To make the most out of these earbuds, the Sony Headphones Connect app is available for iOS and Android devices. Sadly there’s no version for Windows so expect basic functionality when pairing with a laptop or any other Bluetooth enabled devices. Similar to other Sony audio wear with ANC, there are 3 basic levels of noise cancellation – full, “Ambient Sound,” and off. For Ambient Sound, there are 20 levels of adjustments to customize how much noise to cancel out or let in. For my use case, I kept this at full noise cancellation. Adjusting the noise cancellation level is greatly useful for when you need some audio awareness while using the earbuds. As for the other features these earbuds and app offers, I did not test Spatial Audio or 360 Reality Audio, as neither would be of any use in my use case. Even if I wanted to try either of the two, the latter requires an additional install which I opted not to bother and the former has no additional detail on what can utilize this feature. So, is the asking price worth it? The next best competitor other than the one from the fruity company can be had for less. The fruity competitor is priced the same as that competitor as well. This makes recommending a difficult choice as there are other options that could offer similar ANC performance as the XM5. The price increase over the previous generation only makes it harder to recommend from a value standpoint. Yet at the same time, people had concerns over battery life/drain on the previous generation. Would I pay the MSRP for the XM5? Honestly, no. There are other options and I feel that those offer potential better value with similar or same ANC performance. Now if the XM5 were priced the same as the previous generation, then I may lean to yes. The Good: Excellent ANC, good sound profile, compact The Bad: gloss finish makes removing earbuds from case tricky/hard, short USB-C cable, higher MSRP than previous gen The Ugly: the possibility of an earbud slipping out of your finger only for it to fall down to an unreachable crevice/spot… all because Sony decides on a GLOSS finish instead of a matte finish. Verdict: If discounted, yes. Otherwise, pass.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Horrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was expecting a lot for what these cost and honestly very disappointing, I had last model which was bulky and constantly falling out of my ears despite needing to buy third party earbud tips, unfortunately story hasn’t changed with this model, ANC is really bad with earbud tips that these ones arrive with, like I heard absolutely all the noise around me, so people suggested to buy third party earbud tips, which I did and ANC improved but I still heard plenty of noise. Sound is not bad, but due to sliding out of my ear required frequent manual adjustment which caused changes since I actually had to touch each earbud. I figured since I’m using Sony Xperia 1 V phone that these would work great, but when compared to Apple AirPods Pro 2 and Bose Quietcomfort Earbuds II, Bose just wins on every level.
