      Hi CESARL,

      We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. While we are glad you chose the WH-1000XM5 headphones, we are sorry to hear they are slipping during your workouts. Because these headphones are designed for everyday listening rather than high-intensity exercise, moisture from sweat can cause them to slide. We truly value your input regarding the fit during active use.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
