Posted .Hi clamley21,
You made the right choice! We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's also great that you were able to find the right fit for you. 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!

Lack of ANC
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound great once you setup the EQ settings. What makes these terrible is the ANC, there’s an issue with voice cancellation, since I can hear people talking clearly. They do cancel sometimes other noises but even with proper sealed these let a lot of noise in. They dont feel like they hsve ANC. I will be returning these,not worth the $300 price tag.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are by far my favorite headphones I have ever had over the last 20 years. I would say I had tried most if not all headphones on the market and these are the best in terms of audio sounds and keeping noise out with their noise blocking technology.

They are not worth the price.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ear buds fall out and the active noise is bad. The ANC is good though sound is decent, battery life is great, but there is no touch feature everything is done by tapping. The case is tiny and these thing will be easy to lose not to mention the box it comes in is just a recycled cheap box. They kept falling out of my ear. They sound good but have a bad base sound when you hit bumps or it hears loud thump noise. I was walking and with each step there was a base noise in my ear. These things can probably be fixed with updates but I don't see the high expense worth it. The ambient sound is also bad.
