    It was between these and the Sennheiser Momentums. Very close. Love them both but these felt more comfortable.

      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.

    Great sound if you can get the ear tips to fit, if not its a complete mess, the ANC doesn't work properly, then the tips love earwax, then the materials used for the construction of the headset aren't great, they feel like cheap $100 plastic, let them go on sale if your considering them, they are not worth the $300 dollar price tag

      Hi carlos57,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. Your feedback about the design, fit, and noise canceling function is greatly appreciated.

      If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance. If any of this is the case, try the following.

      -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.
      -Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible. You may also find this link helpful:
