      Hi CoreyP, we're glad you are enjoying your new earbuds! 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 WF1000XM5 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! ~Earl Sony_US

    Takes a bit of time getting used to the ear tips, but the sound isolation is phenomenal. This is before you even kick on the ANC. LDAC tends to cut out audio from time to time, but i prefer crisp clear audio over connection if I have to choose. Happens far less often when theres fewer wireless devices nearby.
