      Thanks for the 5-star rating, Angel! 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. -Craig Sony_US

    They are quality earphones when they work. Good sound but tend to have connectivity issues. Cons- slippers. Doesn’t recognize when its out of the case or in. Constantly having to fiddle with it to connect by taking them out of the case and putting them back in. I would recommed to finding alternative earphones.

    My favorite earphones. Been using the 1000s since third gen and these don’t disappoint Noise cancellation feels a lot more isolated and the music is crisp and clear. I use them for the gym and everyday activities. They have not fallen out once.

    Excellent clarity for phone calls with good audio, but from an audiophile perspective, it lacks full body / bass. XM5's are definitely better than the XM4's. Overall, a great device.

      Hi FrankA,

      We are so sorry to hear that you're not getting the sound quality you were hoping for with your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. To get the best sound, the fit is crucial. In the Sony | Headphones Connect app, try the "Determines Optimal Earbud Tips" test to find the best size for your ears. You can also use the equalizer in the app to customize the sound to your liking.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
