Posted .Thanks for the 5-star review, DanielC! We're glad that you like them and we appreciate you recommending this product to others. 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! -Craig

Posted .Hi AdrianB, we're glad you like the sound quality and noise canceling feature of our product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the microphone of the WF1000XM5. Three microphones on each earbud, including dual feedback mics, improve low-frequency cancellation performance. This is our biggest ever step forward in noise canceling, resulting in ambient sound captured even more accurately. So you can enjoy one of our purest sounds. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl

Good - But Not Great or Worth an Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The earbuds are good. Their design is sleek, slim, and smooth. I not a fan of how they fit and I did have the XM4's before this, which in my opinion were better. I don't believe they're sealing very good with my ears, which is reducing the effectiveness of the ANC. They do have good sound to them though, but I don't believe most people would hear a difference between the XM4 and XM5.

Posted .Hi Moose,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the design and sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the fit and noise canceling function is greatly appreciated.
For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones 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 | Headphones 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.
