    I'm pretty disappointed in this purchase. I paid $300 for these earbuds and they constantly have issues. The microphone will randomly stop working or will sound really muffled. The earbud tips fell apart after a couple months. The software to control the earbuds has ads when you open it. The "customizable" touch sensors are not truly customizable. Jabra and SkullCandy do a far better job with their software. The ANC is really good and the overall sound is great but not worth the price. Bottom line: Save you money and get something cheaper.

    One of the best noise cancellation, although not in calls, and audio, the best I have ever heard.

    I would recommend this to a friend
    • Brand response from SonyListens

      Thank you for your thorough feedback on the WF-1000XM5, Alex. Your observation highlights what many users have noticed: the WF-1000XM5 offers outstanding noise cancellation for music and media playback, as well as excellent audio quality, but the noise cancelling experience can be different during calls.

      For general listening, the WF-1000XM5 utilizes advanced processors and multiple microphones to deliver industry-leading noise cancellation and high-fidelity sound, which is widely regarded as some of the best available in its class.

      However, it is important to note that, like many noise cancelling headphones, the effectiveness of the noise cancellation features may be reduced during phone calls. This is because the same microphones are often used both for detecting external noises (to generate the anti-noise signal) and for picking up your voice. In call mode, the system prioritizes capturing clear speech, which can allow more ambient noise through for both you and the person on the other end of the call. Some users have reported that, compared to listening modes, noise cancellation during calls does not block out as much background sound.

      This design is fairly common among leading brands and helps ensure your voice remains natural and intelligible. Still, user experiences can vary based on fit, environment, and expectations. We always recommend ensuring a proper earbud fit and updating firmware, as this can impact both noise cancellation and call performance.

      Thank you again for your honest assessment—your points are very helpful to others considering the WF-1000XM5!
