Posted .Hi SAZZ,
You made the right choice! We're glad that you like the size and fit 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!

Not worth it
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A decent pair of earphones, but not worth the price. The noise cancelling feature isnt that great either. I can still hear people and machines at the gym. I previously had the Sony Link S earbuds & they do a much better job than these and they fit in your ears more comfortably compared to the M5’s. The M’5 lack overall volume limit, bass, bulkier in desgin & high price point for the quality. Save your time and hassle of wanting to return them lol

Posted .Hi Masterskz,
While we're glad that you like the amazing audio and noise cancellation, we're so sorry to hear you are having issues with your WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless Noise-Canceling Earbuds, particularly with mic during a call quality. This is not the experience we want you to have. If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not properly worn on your ears, tap operations or the speech detection of Speak-to-Chat may not be successful, or you may not obtain proper sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performances.
If any of this is the case, please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/articles/00262839

Great, hopefully they will improve the ANC.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the product is excellent. I would like if they improve ANC. I'm a little disturbed by the reviews I've seen that prolonged use can cause a bit of headaches. In the meantime, I didn't experience anything out of the ordinary. I like this set.

Decent but Underwhelming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read everywhere that these were so great, even about the best overall in their class and release year. I was underwhelmed by their sound quality compared to what I was used to, as well as the quality of ANC and hearing through mode. They were as good as my experience with Jabra, but not as good as Pixel Buds Pro and AirPods. And I don't like the foam tips, they never conform to my ear for a complete seal. So I put in some of my own that fit the connecting part of the buds to get a more comfortable and complete seal. But even after that, I was surprised these didn't have better full range and sound quality at the lowest and highest of bass and treble. Maybe if I tried them again, which I won't do, and give them a longer test run, I might appreciate them more. But this was my impression compared to what I've used before.
