    Upgraded to these after I lost my pair of sennheiser true wireless 2 ear buds. The sound and noise cancellation are better on the Sonys.

    Great sound quality if you just want to listen to music. Terrible when it comes to phone calls, on your end you can hear them fine. On their end you get either an echo or a lot of interference. I’ve tried multiple people, different locations. Thought it was maybe service on my end or my phone. Also on an iPhone you can’t edit the “change tap function”.. just buy the AirPods Pro.

      Hi AdrianB, we're glad you like the sound quality and noise canceling feature of our product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the microphone of the WF1000XM5. Three microphones on each earbud, including dual feedback mics, improve low-frequency cancellation performance. This is our biggest ever step forward in noise canceling, resulting in ambient sound captured even more accurately. So you can enjoy one of our purest sounds. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl Sony_US
