    Great sound quality with punchy bass. The sub bass is a little lacking though. Excellent noise canceling and the ambient noise passthrough sounds very natural to me. Overall these are my favorite earbuds so far.

      Hi IrvinH,

      Fantastic! We are very happy to hear your satisfaction with the amazing sound quality, industry-leading noise canceling feature, and superb ambient sound mode function of your WF-1000XM5. 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 very much for the perfect star review and for choosing Sony!

      Hi TobyA,

      Thanks for commenting. We are thrilled to know that love your WF-1000XM5, and that you are satisfied with its exceptional noise canceling function. We are sorry if you are experiencing an automatic Bluetooth connection when your headphones are placed on your pocket. To avoid this problem, please ensure that your headphones are set into the charging case correctly so they turn off automatically before putting them into your pockets. Put the left headset unit (the headset unit with the tactile dot) back into the left hole of the charging case, and put the right headset unit back into the right hole of the charging case. Each headset unit will be set to the correct position in the charging case by the built-in magnet. You may also try cleaning the contact points on the charging case and earbud headphones to further isolate the problem. For more details, please refer to the following links:

      I hope this helps.

    I just bought a pair of JBL pure bass, zero noise, earbuds that are normally $99 dollars on sale for $69, .That put these to shame. Don't wash your money on these. They have more bass, more clarity, more battery life.

      Hi RandyV,

      We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the headphones. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Sound Connect app).

      If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance. If any of this is the case, try the following.

      -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.
      -The “Sony Sound Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.
      -Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.

      Additionally, you can use the Equalizer/CLEAR BASS setting of the Sony app to fine-tune the sound quality to your needs.

      For more information, please refer to these links:

      Please note that usage hours may vary depending on the settings and usage conditions. Make sure to charge both earbuds sufficiently. You may find these links helpful:
