      Thanks for commenting, SamuelT99!

      We are thrilled to hear your satisfaction with the smaller design (compared the previous model) and exceptional sound quality of your WF-1000XM5. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-cancelling performance on the market. Real-time audio processors and high-performance mics power the specially designed driver unit, for wide frequency reproduction, deep bass and clear vocals. They are designed to immerse you in a sound so good, it feels like you’re in the studio with your favorite artists. The WF-1000XM5 headphones raise the bar for distraction-free listening and clarity.

      Thank you so much for the perfect star review and for choosing Sony!

    Long term use ruins transparency/ANC

    After two exchanges (three pairs of XM5 total) I'm hoping to go back and exchange them to get a different brand of earbuds entirely. I don't know what about my daily use case is that does this, but I have repeatedly gotten a loud white noise after a couple months of use that destroys the quality of transparency and ANC. This is NOT the white noise that might typically come from ANC. This is almost like heavy rain, or a loud rumbling coming from one of the buds that completely ruins the listening experience. It appears all the sudden in one fell swoop and then will not go away. While I do truly enjoy the sound quality and user experience, and all the bells and whistles, I cannot accept these long term issues.

      Hi Roybal509,

      Amazing! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality of the headphones. The WF-1000XM5 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!

      Hi BrianF,

      Thanks for the 5-star rating! We couldn't be happier to hear that you're enjoying the XM5 headphones. We understand how frustrating it can be to misplace them, while the app offers a location feature, it does have limitations depending on the last connection. We'll pass your comment along to the team as we're always working to improve the user experience.
      Thanks for choosing Sony.
