Q: QuestionHello. Those it cancel the background noise when on call?

Asked 2 years ago by Dowan.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black

• A:Answer Hi Dowan, Great question! Absolutely, yes. Thanks to an AI-based noise reduction algorithm based on Deep Neural Network (DNN) processing, and bone conduction sensors, your voice will come through clear and naturally, even in a noisy environment. And if you’re outdoors, the wind noise reduction structure will minimize any wind whooshes, so you always know you’ll be heard. And with Precise Voice Pickup Technology and advanced audio signal processing, the person on the other end of the call will hear your voice clearly, even when you are in noisy situations. Our noise-reduction algorithm was developed with AI machine learning using more than 500 million voice samples to suppress ambient noise, increase accuracy and extract your voice clearly in various environments. The WF-1000XM5 reduces external noise over a wide bandwidth, from low to high frequencies. It contains two proprietary processors that cancel more external noise than ever, a new high-performance driver unit Dynamic Driver X, dual feedback microphones, and innovative Noise Isolation Earbud Tips for a more stable fit. Real-time noise-canceling processing can be optimized to provide the best performance for your environment. I hope this helps you, and thanks again for considering Sony! - Romeo

• A:Answer Hi Boots, We are really sorry if you are experiencing a power issue with your WF-1000XM5. This is certainly not the news we'd like to hear from you. Let's try to isolate and address this problem by following the troubleshooting steps below: Note: When the headset is not worn in your ears for about 15 minutes after being removed from the charging case, the headset turns off automatically. In this case, turn the headset on by tapping the touch sensor of the headset or by putting the headset into your ears. The headset units will also turn on when they are set into the charging case and then removed from the charging case. • Make sure the battery is fully charged. • You cannot turn on the headset when the headset is stored and being charged in the charging case. Remove the headset from the charging case to turn on. • Charge the charging case. • Set the headset units into the charging case, and close the charging case lid. You may be able to resolve some issues by setting the headset units into the charging case. • Clean the charging ports of the headset units and charging case, then set the headset units into the charging case and check the status of the indicator on the charging case. For details, visit the Help Guide of the WF-1000XM5 (can be found in Sony's support website and search for “Maintenance”. • The headset cannot be used during an automatic headset software update. Set the headset into the charging case and close the charging case lid, then wait for about 5 minutes. • Reset the headset. • Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again. I hope this helps. Should you need more technical assistance/information, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details so we can better assist you.

Q: QuestionCan you connect two phones simultaneously with these so I can answer a call from either (or switch from one to another when calls come in)?

Asked 2 years ago by GeoffreyK.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black

• A:Answer TLDR = YES I use multipoint between an iPhone 12, maybe a 13. It is a work phone and a ZFold5 when I am mobile. At home I connect my laptop and my primary Phone and switch between the two seamlessly. Seamless may have come from practice though so mileage may vary a bit there but the answer to your question is, Yes.

Q: QuestionDoes anyone have any experience wearing these for five+ hours? Do they hurt your ears? I bought a cheap pair from Amazon and they are killing my ears. I like the concept of earbuds but I am unsure if they will all cause discomfort, or just the ones I have

Asked 2 years ago by Kevin.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black

• A:Answer I work with these on for 8-12 hours and generally speaking with no pain. Your ears may vary so experiment with the different ear tip sizes to find out what works or not. You can also try different brands of ear tips to see if perhaps the sizing they use is different to Sony's. I usually recommend Comply Foam tips.

• A:Answer Yes, AND your phone at the same time and dang near seamlessly switch between the two. Now they aren't the Microsoft Certified switching like another primarily office headphone manufacturer but I use the multipoint on these constantly. Honestly I never liked the microsoft cert on my Jabras, I returned them for the normal ones. That was back in the day though.
