      That's awesome, ColbyA! We're glad that you are impressed with its performance. The WF1000XM5 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 Sony_US

    Noise Canceling Features Didn't Work

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently purchased these. They have a nice premium weight and feel. However, the earbuds did not fit well no matter what tips I used. Additionally, the noise-canceling features that I was looking forward to did not work as expected. I would not recommend these earbuds to others, as I believe there are better options available on the market in the same price range. It's essential to consider other options before investing in this pair of earbuds, as the overall experience can be frustrating and disappointing if the fitment and / or features do not meet your expectations.

    Don’t like the fit. Feels like they’re always going to fall out sometimes they do. I can hear sound from the background and all around. Would rather just stick with AirPods.

      Hi PaulF,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the fit and noise cancellation of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds.

      To improve your experience, we recommend experimenting with the different ear tip sizes included in the box. Finding the right seal is essential not only for a secure fit but also for maximizing the effectiveness of the noise cancellation. Additionally, you can tap the touch sensor on the left unit to toggle your noise canceling settings to better block out background sound.

      We hope these adjustments help you get the most out of your headphones!

      Thank you for considering Sony.

      Best regards,
      Dominick Sony_US
