      Hi Nazgul,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the noise canceling function and dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit is greatly appreciated.

      For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly. 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.

      For more information, please refer to this link:

    Overall I like them, they have great sound and noise cancelling ambient noise etc. however,, they have a really poor fit, they barely stay in my ears despite changing the size of the tips. they need some securing or slim them down like the galaxy buds. App is bad.

      Hi Alex, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your Sony WF1000XM5. While we're glad you like the great sound quality and noise canceling feature, we regret to hear that these earbuds didn't fit great on you. We understand that finding the perfect fit can vary from person to person. We also recommend experimenting with the positioning to achieve a snug fit. If you've already tried changing the eartips to another size and you're still having issues with fit, we suggest trying out third-party eartips. Hope this helps and thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

      Hi EdgarjM, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the WF-1000XM5. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the features and design of the case. However, we sincerely apologize for any disappointment regarding the sound volume and battery life.
      Your comments are invaluable to us as we continuously strive to enhance our products.

      Regarding the battery life, consider the following factors:

      - Features like the equalizer, DSEE Extreme, and noise canceling can significantly reduce battery life. For instance, using high-quality playback settings can consume more power.
      - Ensure that the charging case is adequately charged and the earbuds are properly seated for charges.
      - You can also perform a factory reset if you face persistent issues. Detailed instructions can be found here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

      Hi Luis,

      We regret to hear about what happened to the other Sony headphones. You made the right choice upgrading to the Sony WF-1000XM5! We're glad that your son is enjoying the sound quality and user-friendly functions of the headphones.

      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!

      Regarding the fit of the earbuds, we recommend trying different sizes of the included ear tips to ensure a more secure fit. This can help prevent the earbuds from feeling like they are slipping out. For more details on how to wear them properly, please refer to this link:
