      Hi Theuser115,

      Great! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality and battery life 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!

      When the noise canceling function is turned on, you may hear a small amount of noise, but this is due to the characteristics of the noise canceling. You may also find this link helpful:

    Much better than Bose QC mic for talking, Samsung Pro buds, Sennheiser Mom 3. Sony is not perfect but much better performance when tested on NYC SUBWAY LINE.THE BEST TESTING GROUND FOR ANC FOR ANY EARBUD. I replaced my earbuds 4x b4 I found Sony, which I kept.

    After going through 4 pairs of other wireless in-ear headphones, I finally got the nerve to buy the ones. At $250 they are surely expensive but they don't good and on a phone call the other part can here me clearly. They are small, light, with good battery life. If it's within your budget, they are a good choice.
