      Hi SAZZ,

      You made the right choice! We're glad that you like the size and fit of the headphones. 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!

    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.

    There portable and have good sound, but if your buying them for noise cancellation, there terrible. I was very surprised when I used them on my last flight, the noise cancellation we not good at all. I used the app too set the modes and I just want happy considering the price and hype. I would not recommend these earbuds.

      Hi Jamgar, thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that the noise cancellation performance of the WF-1000XM5 did not meet your expectations, especially during your flight. We appreciate your positive comments about the earbuds' portability and sound quality.

      Noise Cancellation can be influenced by several factors, and we want to help you get the best experience possible. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you might find helpful:

      - Ensure the earbuds fit properly in your ears with the best size earbud tips for each ear, as improper fit can significantly reduce noise canceling effectiveness. The Sony | Headphones Connect app can help you measure air-tightness and find the optimal tip size.
      - Confirm that Noise Canceling mode is activated, not Ambient Sound mode. You can toggle this directly on the earbuds or in the app.
      - Try turning off the Adaptive Sound Control feature in the app, as it can automatically adjust noise cancellation based on detected activity, sometimes switching modes unexpectedly.
      - If you’ve already checked these settings, you can reset or initialize the earbuds as a next step—returning them to factory settings to resolve potential software glitches.
      - It’s important to note that while the WF-1000XM5 provides strong noise cancellation, it is most effective for low-frequency sounds such as engine noise from vehicles or planes, but some higher-frequency sounds may not be fully canceled.

      If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, please reach out to our support team for further assistance, as we’re committed to ensuring your satisfaction with our products.

      Thank you again for your honest feedback—it helps us improve our products and service.

      Best regards,
      Gus
