      Hi Brandon1,

      We're glad that you like its incredible audio quality. We're sorry you've been running into difficulty. For fit concern, our WF-1000XM5 earbuds feature a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit and the new Noise Isolation Earbud Tips are made from an exclusive material that improves fitting and increases comfort thanks to reduced pressure in the ear due to a newly designed shape. The earbuds come in four sizes, including SS.

      To ensure optimal performance, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headset from falling out, change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. 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. When wearing them, gently pull up on the top of your ears, put the earbud tips in your ear canal, and then twist the earbuds into place. This makes sure the earbuds are firmly in the ear canal.

      In addition, 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. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Great sound quality if you just want to listen to music. Terrible when it comes to phone calls, on your end you can hear them fine. On their end you get either an echo or a lot of interference. I’ve tried multiple people, different locations. Thought it was maybe service on my end or my phone. Also on an iPhone you can’t edit the “change tap function”.. just buy the AirPods Pro.

      Hi tomn, Thank you for the amazing review! We're very thrilled to hear you like the great sound quality, fantastic noise cancellation, crisp and clean highs, and clear and powerful low of your new Sony WF1000XM5. We have noted your input about the initial setup process and will be sure to forward this feedback to the appropriate department. 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! -Sam Sony_US

      Hi Beammeeup, thank you for sharing your honest feedback! It is most rewarding to hear that you find the Sony - WF1000XM5 to be very good overall! With their industry-leading noise cancellation, rich sound quality, and intelligent adaptive features, they're built to elevate your listening experience. We also understand that getting the right fit can make a big difference, especially when it comes to noise isolation and call quality. If you haven't already, we highly recommend trying out the different sizes of ear tips included in the box, a proper seal not only improves comfort, but also enhances both noise cancellation and mic performance by reducing external interference. We appreciate your thoughts and thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, -Dominick Sony_US

    I bought these before getting the bose QC ultra. But i have read reviews about these and apparently the generation before these was amazing, i tried these and they were just not it, very disappointed. I wouldnt even recommend to a friend, theyre expensive but yet they feel very fragile and cheap, the buttons on the earbuds themselves are very sensitive youll find yourself accidentally activitating buttons while adjusting them. The app for them is very basic and not much to do, not even customizable. And the buttons for the buds themselves are not changeable. Sound quality is average. What i would recommend are the bose quietcomfort ultra.

    Like every other thing in this world these days, you have to download an app. Otherwise it will turn off the noise cancelling at random times. Disconnects frequently. I’ve had mine just over a year and they’ve already crapped out. Won’t charge. What a waste of money. They will not replace it because it is two months out of warranty. Insane that their product barely lasts a year. Bose stands by their products.
