Posted .Hello Trixie,
Thank you for sharing your review of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoy the exceptional sound quality. However, we understand that you encountered some challenges with their functionality, particularly during video calls on your Samsung phone.
To resolve the video call issue, it's essential to ensure that the appropriate Bluetooth profiles are being utilized. The Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) is designed for music playback, while the Hands-free Profile (HFP) and Headset Profile (HSP) are meant for voice calls. If your earbuds are connected via the A2DP profile, you may experience difficulties during voice calls. Please make sure to select either the HFP or HSP profile when using the earbuds for video calls.
Additionally, check the audio settings in your video calling app to confirm that the earbuds are set as the audio input and output device. If the issue continues, consider restarting your phone, resetting the earbuds, or trying a different video calling app to determine whether the problem lies with the earbuds, the app, or the phone itself.
If the issue persists, we recommend reviewing the following articles for further troubleshooting:

Disappointed in Performance
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TL;DR for the price, the Bose QC II was a better sound profile and noise cancellation. Even though I got these on-sale, I would’ve rated these lower had I paid full price. Overall I would give these 2.5 stars, so I rounded up to 3. Why? Sony needs to ditch the foam ear tips or figure out how to engineer those better because they don’t seal all that great and there’s a significant amount of ear fatigue after maybe an hour of wear. ANC technology might be good, and it might not because I can’t get a solid seal, so lots of ambient sound makes its way in. I thought my AirPods Pro 2 were bad, these are worse, by a significant margin. If I could go back and do it, I would have bought a new pair of Bose. But I didn’t because after 1.5 years with the Bose QC2 it started getting super finicky with connection issues. I guess I’ll just continue to hunt for the “perfect pair”

Posted .Hi Vinhsanity,
We regret to know that you're not having the best experience with your WF-1000XM5 and you are having issues, particularly with the fit of the unit. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not properly worn on your ears, tap operations or the speech detection of Speak-to-Chat may not be successful, or you may not obtain proper sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performances. If any of this is the case, we recommend to try the following.
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.
Please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/articles/00262839
We want to make sure you’re taken care of. Should you need further assistance, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Posted .Hi MikeB, we're glad you like our product! The WF1000XM5 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. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl

Posted .Hi EricM,
We are sorry to hear that the Noise Cancelling feature on your WF-1000XM5 earbuds is activating at inconvenient times, as this is definitely not the intended experience. This behavior is most often caused by the Adaptive Sound Control feature, which automatically changes the Noise Cancelling settings based on your activity (like walking or staying put); we recommend turning this feature off within the Sony | Headphones Connect App for a consistent experience. Additionally, check the app's settings to ensure the Speak-to-Chat function is disabled, as this temporarily pauses Noise Cancelling when you start talking.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
