    I have been using these headphones for the last few weeks and i am a little disappointed in the product. When i put them in my ear, it hurts over time and the noise canceling function is ok. My recommendation is to buy headphones that are cheaper and would be the sam quality.

      Hi Griffin,

      You made the right choice! The WF-1000XM5 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 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. 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!

    Sound quality is good, but they are super uncomfortable. The eartips are hard and make my ear hurt after a short time of wearing. These are now collecting dust on my shelf.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, Aidan.

      We are delighted to hear that you find the sound quality of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds to be good, but we are truly sorry that they are super uncomfortable due to the hard eartips, which has led to them collecting dust. We understand that comfort is just as critical as sound quality, and we regret that they are causing you pain after a short period of wearing.

      We would like to help you resolve this and get back to enjoying your premium earbuds. The WF-1000XM5 includes multiple sizes of ear tips in the box. We highly recommend trying the smallest or largest sizes to ensure a better seal that relieves pressure.

      If you would like direct assistance with fit or have further questions, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team here:

      https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      We hope to help you find a comfortable fit so you can enjoy the amazing sound quality!

We would like to mention that you can download the Sony Sound Connect app, where you can manage the touch sensor functions, that way you can avoid unwanted muting. We will add a link which you can access to get more information on the functions of the earbuds' touch sensor and troubleshooting for the issue:

    Earbuds fall out easily and one earbud disconnects and reconnects especially if you are moving around while wearing. Bluetooth range is very small. I have to stay within 15 feet of the device even when the space between is open. I wish I had purchased the Bose for the same price.
