A:AnswerHi Maggie,
The WF-1000XM5 has a Bluetooth specification version 5.3 with an effective range of up to 32.8 ft/10 m (line of sight). The actual range will vary depending on factors such as obstacles between devices, magnetic fields around a microwave oven, static electricity, reception sensitivity, antenna’s performance, operating system, software application, etc. I hope this helps!
The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-cancelling performance on the market. Real-time audio processors and high-performance mics power the specially designed driver unit, for wide frequency reproduction, deep bass and clear vocals. They are designed to immerse you in a sound so good, it feels like you’re in the studio with your favorite artists. The WF-1000XM5 headphones raise the bar for distraction-free listening and clarity.
Best regards,
Romeo

A:AnswerThey generally are pretty good at muffling surrounding audio, that being said, mic quality is not very good (a common problem for most wireless earbuds). Mic is very quiet so motorcycle might be too loud.
A:AnswerI never had the xm4's, the xm5's I got never had an issue connecting they instantly pair and switch through my devices I have them connected to instantly aswell
A:AnswerTo a certain level, no football, or collision sports but with the right tips, they are stuck real well in you ear. Not water proof to well, so avoid running in the rain.
A:AnswerWhen the earbuds are in press tap the left earbud and it should turn off, if not go to the Sony Headphone app and turn it off when they are connect to a phone through bluetooth, work with the headphones too.
A:AnswerI'm a dork so I tried this just for you. The answer is... I kept getting very phone calls and couldn't resist youtube and Tidal so I lost ONE of the ear buds just before 8 hours and charged it for 5 minutes and got another 55 minutes out of it. Close though.
I bet if I had set the app how you mentioned then uninstalled the app and then had volume at about half then it would have made it a lot longer.
A:AnswerNo, not really, it is great, but not loud, like most earbuds their bass is not great. As in the defention in the bass is great but not loud and not gonna leave a feeling.
A:AnswerPffft, not even close! You will need ANC turned on and something playing fairly loud to silence the background noise completely.
Honestly, I’ve heard there are several better options out there.
A:AnswerThey do, the have like a full sound canceling mode, an active sound cancelling mode which speak to chat, and finally they have transparency mode and if something is too loud they will auto quite to protect your ears while in that mode.
A:AnswerBattery tech has changed. I still make sure I charge up ALL the way and then drain all the way but the latest info is just use them. The controller for the batteries are fancy enough nothing even matters. Use and abuse compared to the old days.
A:AnswerThe question was about overall initial availability - not availability at any particular store. They were supposed to be available nationwide already so my best guess is that there was a pretty high volume of pre orders that is leading to a reduction in brick and mortar inventory at release. Taking the time to criticize the question, as the first answer did - is mean spirited and off-putting. Be nicer.
