    Not Noise Cancelling

    The noise cancelling on these is terrible. I had the previous version and there was zero outside noise unless you selected ambient noise. This version doesn't block all of the ambiet noise, it rather supresses it.

    Mediocre ear buds

    I tried these buds out for a week. I work construction and wanted something that i could wear during the day in order to take calls without holding my phone. Honestly, they worked, but my 2 stars is in comparison to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. The Sony buds are big and bulky, and one actually fell out of my ear while walking. The sound of music and bass is mediocre, compared to the Galaxy buds. The price was also big and bulky. All in all, not enough product or quality for double the price of the Galaxy Bud 2 Pros.

      Hi Adam,

      You made the right choice with the Sony WF1000XM5! 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 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!

    These were amazing until I accidentally broke them. Make sure to keep the charging case clean, if not earwax and sweat can eventually form a mild glue that causes a little resistance when pulling the earbud out, eventually this resistance weakens the seal until you rip the earbud in half.

    These are the single worst headphones I have ever owned. Not because of the sound but the continued connectivity issues. They won't connect to my Samsung frame tv. They frequently discconect from my laptop, requiring me mid conference call to put them in the case to reset them. Sound is awesome but cannot stand this connectivity issue.
