Great! At Sony we strive to put forward the best possible products for our customers. It sounds like we hit the mark with the WF1000XM5 and we're glad that you appreciate it. The WF1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. Thank you for choosing Sony! - Marco

Connecting in case
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is fantastic and the app is easy to use. However, I had to return them because they were constantly connecting to my phone even when in the case with the lid closed. Very frustrating.

Posted .Hi Derick,
We're glad that you like the sound quality and dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you had connectivity issue with the earbuds. For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony app). Both earbuds must placed correctly on the charging case. Each headset unit will be set to the correct position in the charging case by the built-in magnet. Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue.
Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

Posted .Hi BrianF,
Thanks for the 5-star rating! We couldn't be happier to hear that you're enjoying the XM5 headphones. We understand how frustrating it can be to misplace them, while the app offers a location feature, it does have limitations depending on the last connection. We'll pass your comment along to the team as we're always working to improve the user experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Long term use ruins transparency/ANC
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After two exchanges (three pairs of XM5 total) I'm hoping to go back and exchange them to get a different brand of earbuds entirely. I don't know what about my daily use case is that does this, but I have repeatedly gotten a loud white noise after a couple months of use that destroys the quality of transparency and ANC. This is NOT the white noise that might typically come from ANC. This is almost like heavy rain, or a loud rumbling coming from one of the buds that completely ruins the listening experience. It appears all the sudden in one fell swoop and then will not go away. While I do truly enjoy the sound quality and user experience, and all the bells and whistles, I cannot accept these long term issues.

Returned
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were OK. They didnt grip in my ear very well, and I did not like the smooth finish on the buds. Noise cancelling and audio quality was OK, but did not adequately block out the construction noises I work around.
