    Very good sound, I can only be unsatisfied with one, they are too slippery and you can drop when pulling out, besides, they sit very well in the ears and are comfortable

    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.

    The sound quality is very good. The noise cancelling is very good. I really dislike using them because they cut out for no discernible reason. It is very very annoying to be enjoying a a piece of music then have it just stop. It happens all the time.

      Hi JohnW, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you really enjoy the noise cancellation and magnificent sound quality of the Sony - WF1000XM5. But we're sorry to learn you experienced audio drops while using them. We understand this can be frustrating.

      Here are a few steps and recommendations that can help to solve the problem:

      1- Try to rotate the earbuds depending on the shape of your ear. Covering the microphone can affect the performance causing audio dropouts.
      2- Set the headset to [Prioritize Stable Connection]. You can do this by using the Sony Headphones connect app.
      3- If you're enjoying music from your smartphone, the situation may be improved by closing unnecessary apps or restarting your smartphone
      4- Turn off the Adaptive Sound Control setting. This can be found on the Sony Headphones Connect app too.

      Hi MrPiggy,

      Thank you for the fantastic 5-star review! We're excited to hear you're loving the Sony WF-1000XM5 headphones. We designed these with our most advanced noise-canceling technology yet, featuring the Integrated Processor V2 and HD Noise Canceling Processor QN2e. This powerful combination works to block out a wider range of external sounds, so you can truly get lost in your music or podcast without any distractions.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!
