    These noise cancel well, however, if you use them for the gym, be wary, If anything touches the outside of the right or the left earbud, it either pauses the song or it toggles the noise, cancellation, either way it interrupts the song and your workout. I accidentally waited too long to return these so I have another pair of $300 earbuds that don@5 compare to my air pro’ 2’s, nice try Sony. But this is for a housewife, not anybody else Also, sometimes just one of the earbuds connect to Bluetooth, and I have to bring the whole case in now because if only one connects, I have to put them back in the case and take them out again for them to work.. Worthless.

      Hi JonpaulA, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback about your WF1000XM5. We're glad you like the excellent noise canceling feature of these earbuds. At Sony, we are always looking to improve our product quality and features. We have noted your input about the touch sensor sensitivity and will be sure to forward this feedback to the appropriate department. You can change the function assigned or you can also choose not to assign any functions to the touch sensors on the left and right headset units using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app while you're in a gym to prevent the earbuds from pausing a song when you accidentally touch the sensors.
      And for connectivity issues, please follow the troubleshooting steps on this link:

    The ear buds fall out and the active noise is bad. The ANC is good though sound is decent, battery life is great, but there is no touch feature everything is done by tapping. The case is tiny and these thing will be easy to lose not to mention the box it comes in is just a recycled cheap box. They kept falling out of my ear. They sound good but have a bad base sound when you hit bumps or it hears loud thump noise. I was walking and with each step there was a base noise in my ear. These things can probably be fixed with updates but I don't see the high expense worth it. The ambient sound is also bad.

    I love them, the only real issue I have is that they don't have an actual button. With the touch button, if you're wearing a hood, especially when it's wet out, the button gets triggered over and over. I had to turn off what the button does because of this but other than that one thing, they are absolutely worth it.

    These sound pretty good right out of the box and become even better once you start tuning the EQ. They have a feature where you play a song and select different circles of what sounds the best for it to then create an EQ for you. My only gripe is specific to the white pair is that the foam tips will very quickly stain from ear wax.

    The sound quality beats anything else. Only gripe is when ANC is on and your running, there is like an echo or thump noise you can hear. Turn off ANC and it stops. The app took some getting used to but works very well.

      Hi ChristopherC,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the app and noise canceling function is greatly appreciated.

      When using the headset, you may hear vibrations transmitted through your body while walking or running, and you may also hear biological sounds such as heartbeats and breathing sounds. This may occur due to the nature of the product and is not a malfunction. When the noise canceling function or Ambient Sound Mode is turned on, vibrations from walking, running, or shaking of the head may be transmitted through the body, and be heard as rattling or popping noises. This may occur due to the nature of the product and is not a malfunction. You may also find this link helpful:
