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,
