Good sound but
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They hurt my ears. The large sized buds give the best coverage and ANC but the inside of my ear hurts after a few hours. The medium isn't as painful but they're small that the noise quality gets reduced as well as the ANC. They stay snug at least. Sucks though cause the sound is incredible on these.

Posted .Hi SamuelO,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about its comfort is greatly appreciated.
For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly. Put the headset units into both ears. Put the headset unit with the (left) mark into your left ear and the headset unit with the (right) mark into your right ear. The left headset unit has a tactile dot. Adjust the fit of the headset to your ears. Twist the headset unit to fit it snugly into the ear canal, and adjust the positioning of the headset unit until it fits comfortably. Wait for about 10 seconds for the earbud tip shape to stabilize.
Hint: If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset.
You may also find these steps helpful:
-Change 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.
-The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.
-Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.
Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Good product, bad company
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are solid earbuds, if they fit. The two stars is because of the connectivity nonsense and the tips. The tips are consumable. Meaning they wear out at a regular interval. Ive been wearing buds for close to 30 years and never have i had tips that wear out. No big deal I'll buy some more. Cant. Sold out for over a month. Shipping cost twice as much as the buds. What a joke. I'll live with my oil-filled earbuds. They're gross but they still work.

Meh
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yeah im sorry the noise cancelling isnt as great as people claim it to be. I bought these for myself and the air pod pro 2 for my wife. In my personal opinion the air pods pro 2 have way better noise cancelling. Plus the app that syncs up is a little buggy and you have to dig through all the options just to find the best sound but with the air pods its stress free.
