Suitable for these earbuds

These QuietFit foam ear tips are suitable for the following Sony models:

  • Sony WF-1000XM5;
  • Sony WF-1000XM4;
  • Sony WF-1000XM3.

They are not intended for other Sony models such as the WF, WI, MDR, XBA or DR series: a separate set is available for those.

Why foam ear tips make a difference

The soft foam conforms to the shape of your ear, instead of your ear having to adjust to a rigid silicone shape.

  • Stay perfectly in place: the foam molds to your ear canal for a stable fit;
  • Better sound seal: a better fit can provide more ANC effectiveness and a fuller bass;
  • Conforms to your ear: no two ears are the same, foam adapts automatically;
  • 3 sizes included: S, M and L, so you don't have to guess.

When to replace your ear tips

Replace your ear tips when they become discolored, damaged, start to feel loose, or no longer seal properly. Foam ear tips can wear out slightly faster than silicone, so with regular use, it is common to replace them approximately every 6 months.

Also available in grey

These QuietFit foam ear tips are available in black as well as grey. Functionally, both colors are identical. View both colors side-by-side via this filtered overview.
