    I have owned a pevious model of these earbuds, which eventually died, and that pair had good noise cancellation but this version of earbuds the noise cancellation is not as effective and not as distinctive as the previous model. The sound clarity if average and I have a pair of tone that are just as good. For the money I would go with a different brand. I do appreciate Sony's products but these earbuds not what I expected.

      Hi Masterskz,

      While we're glad that you like the amazing audio and noise cancellation, we're so sorry to hear you are having issues with your WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless Noise-Canceling Earbuds, particularly with mic during a call quality. This is not the experience we want you to have. If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not properly worn on your ears, tap operations or the speech detection of Speak-to-Chat may not be successful, or you may not obtain proper sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performances.

      If any of this is the case, please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/articles/00262839

    High potential, order extra silicone earbuds in place of memory foam originals. Earbuds lose ability to stay in place after about 2 months of consistent daily use. Also when taking phone calls earbuds tend to pick up alot of extra noise in the background

      Hi RolandeR, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We understand your feedback regarding the earbud tips of your Sony unit. For the earbuds losing their ability to stay in place, it's important to ensure that the earbuds are worn properly and that the earbud tips are firmly and completely attached. You might need to select earbud tips that best fit your ears. The Sony | Headphones Connect app can be used to measure the air-tightness of the earbud tips and find the optimal size. Additionally, regular cleaning of the earbuds and tips is recommended to maintain their fit and performance. Please check these links for more details:
