Posted .Hi franksink,
Thanks for your comment. While we are thrilled to hear about your satisfaction with the amazing sound quality of your WF-1000XM5, we are really sorry if its loudness and fit didn't live up to your expectations. This is certainly not the news we'd like to hear from you. The earbuds may not work as designed if they are not worn properly, or the size of the earbud tips doesn't match the size of your ear canals. The following information on this article is important in order to maximize the volume, noise canceling function, and sound quality for music and calls.

Work great, but not as comfortable as XM4
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be honest, I don't love the way these fit in the ears compared to the last model. However, the audio quality is great. I don't think you'd be missing out if you got the xm4 instead however.
