    [Employee of bestbuy] These are incredible! Upgraded my QC 35 to these because only one side on the bose would work by itself. The noise cancelling is 2nd to none. The audio quality is amazing and they heard the reviews and made the buds smaller and the case. This was a home run by Sony.

      Hi Emoney,

      You made the right choice upgrading to the WF1000XM5! We're glad that you are enjoying the noise canceling function, sound quality, and size of the headphones. It's also great that you like the option to use any headset unit of the 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 are smaller than the xm4s and do make some amazing sound! I do wuestion the ANC when using as a needed situation. They do a really good job at it, but i feel like the prior version is slightly better with ANC.
