QuestionHow well would ANC handle a shooting park or other high DB locations, would I be able to hear people talking round me while ANC is active at a venue like this?
Asked 1 year ago by Timmy.
This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black
- Answer Hi Timmy, Thank you for your question. The Noise Canceling function of our WF-1000XM5 is most effective for low frequency (bass) noise, such as noise made by vehicles or air conditioning, but not all sounds can be completely canceled. It is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Although I believe these headphones would be very helpful in blocking the noise in shooting parks. If you're concerned about hearing protection in a shooting park, it's recommended to also use traditional hearing protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs. These can provide additional protection against loud noises, especially in environments with sudden, intense sounds. 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

QuestionWhat is the maximum wireless range?
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black
- Answer Not too far - if you leave the room or go behind walls far away it tends to lose audio quality - max I'd say is about 20-30 feet, less if there are obstructions.

Asked 1 year ago by Maggie.
This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black
- Answer Hi 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!

- Answer They 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.

QuestionWill these earbuds last longer than 8 hours on a single charge if I turn off noise cancelling and other features?
Asked 2 years ago by DSD25.
This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black
- Answer I'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.
