    They are amazing headphones and are of amazing quality. However they are not for me. The design with the glossy finish is a big no for me. They remind me of the old galaxy buds. They are slippery and feel like they're about to fall. Whitfield fel

      Hi Theuser115,

      Great! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality and battery life 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!

    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:

    After going through 4 pairs of other wireless in-ear headphones, I finally got the nerve to buy the ones. At $250 they are surely expensive but they don't good and on a phone call the other part can here me clearly. They are small, light, with good battery life. If it's within your budget, they are a good choice.
