Hi Doug,

Amazing! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality, noise canceling function, and size of the headphones. The WF-1000XM5 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!

Hello M3tr0d0b3b00min,

We're delighted to hear that the earbuds seal well and that you appreciate the long battery life. It's fantastic that you are getting 7–8 hours of use at a low-medium volume without noise cancellation or pass-through. You can control the noise-cancelling settings via the touch sensor on the left earbud or through the Sony | Headphones Connect app, which allows you to toggle between noise-cancelling modes and ambient sound modes according to your preference. This feature could be particularly beneficial in noisy environments to enhance your listening experience. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Best regards,
-Fred

Hi TylerG, we're glad you like the sound quality and noise canceling feature of the product. We're sorry to hear that had an issue with the earbud tips of your Sony unit. We really wished we could turn your opinion around regarding our WF1000XM5. It is recommended to change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different.

Hi bbuyer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed review and comparison of the Sony WF-1000XM5 and the Bose QC Ultra earbuds. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the exceptional sound quality of the WF-1000XM5. However, we regret to learn that the noise canceling feature did not meet your expectations.

Please note that the effectiveness of the WF-1000XM5's noise cancellation can be influenced by how well the earbuds fit and seal in your ears. It seems that a secure fit may have been a challenge for you, which could have affected the performance of the noise canceling feature. For assistance with optimizing the noise cancellation, we recommend checking out this helpful article:

We understand that you have chosen to return the WF-1000XM5 in favor of the Bose QC Ultra, which you've found to offer a better fit and superior noise cancellation. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and it will play a crucial role in helping us enhance our products and services. We sincerely appreciate your input and hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

Best regards,

Thank you for choosing Sony!
