Posted .Hi John, That's awesome! We're very pleased to hear that you were able to find the most suitable noise cancelling configuration to perfectly suit your needs. 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! -Sam

Amazing Sound Quality, Otherwise Garbage
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is unrivaled. Nose cancellation is unrivaled. Doesn't matter when you essentially can't use them for phone calls. App on Android disappears so you have to search it in the app store to open it. Can't modify tap functions so if you try to adjust an earbud in a call you end up hanging up on the call. App is absolute trash and Sony should be ashamed.

Horrible waste of money. Do not buy.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like every other thing in this world these days, you have to download an app. Otherwise it will turn off the noise cancelling at random times. Disconnects frequently. I’ve had mine just over a year and they’ve already crapped out. Won’t charge. What a waste of money. They will not replace it because it is two months out of warranty. Insane that their product barely lasts a year. Bose stands by their products.

Poor Multipoint techonology.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have great sound, but the multipoint technology leaves a lot to be desired. It has multiple issues being connected to my laptop and my cell phone, does not easily transition between them and get's stuck on one device when it shouldn't.

Posted .Hello Buzzy,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We are pleased to hear that you find the sound quality of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds exceptional. However, we sincerely apologize for the difficulties you are encountering with the multipoint connectivity feature and the challenges in seamlessly transitioning between your laptop and cell phone.
To address these issues, please follow the steps below:
Update Firmware to Version 6.1.0: Ensure your earbuds are running the latest firmware to improve performance. Detailed instructions are available here:
Reset the Earbuds: Performing a reset can often resolve connectivity issues. Please refer to the following guide for instructions: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783924.html
Initialize the Earbuds: Restoring factory settings can help eliminate persistent problems. Follow the steps outlined here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html
Adjust Bluetooth Settings: On Your Connected Devices: If possible, set the Bluetooth codec to AAC to reduce audio processing load.
On the Earbuds: Use the Sony | Sound Connect app to set the connection priority to "Prioritize Stable Connection."
Check for Interference: Ensure that other wireless devices, such as Wi-Fi routers or other Bluetooth devices, are not causing interference.
If the issues persist after these steps, we encourage you to contact our dedicated support team for further assistance and advanced troubleshooting. You can find all contact options and resources here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
