    You get what you paid for, sound quality is not excellent but on par with its peers. Conversation quality is much better than previous generations.

    I upgraded from Jabara to these top of the line Sony earbuds. They are durable as I've washed them and they still work. Though, the charging case was not quite so much so. Now I have two pair and one charging case. Still worth every penny.

      Hi TanyaC,
      Thanks for being so honest about your experience with the WF-1000XM5 earbuds.
      It's fantastic to hear you're loving the sound quality for music. But we totally get how frustrating it is when the call quality doesn't keep up in those noisy spots.

      Here are a few tips and settings you can check that might improve your call quality in those loud environments:

      1) Try to make sure the earbuds have a snug fit using the right-sized eartips.
      You can check this by opening the Sony | Sound Connect App, going to the System tab, and running the "Optimal Earbud Tips" test. Make sure the app confirms a good air-tight seal in both ears, and if it doesn't, you should try a different size foam tip from the package.

      If you'd like a little more detail; with some videos to walk you through it, just click the link here:
      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00262839

      2) Turning off the "Capture Voice During a Phone Call" setting in the Sound Connect App (found under the System tab) can help improve call clarity in loud environments.

      3) Make sure your earbuds and the Sound Connect App are running the latest firmware versions.

      Give those a shot!

      We appreciate your review of our Sony product and apologize for your experience.
      Sincerely,
      Estefany Sony_US
