    Purchased with high hopes and expectations based on my previous purchase of the Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones Model WH-1000XM4, which I regard very highly. The XM5 earbuds left me underwhelmed. The noise cancelling was mediocre. Street sounds bleed in all the time. Same for sounds at home when near anyone conversing. My Bose earbuds are far superior in this category. The only good point is how easy the XM5 connect via bluetooth. On the downside, they sometimes connect to my devices while still in there case. Annoying. I would not recommend for the price. Bose earbuds are a better deal.

      HI Deviceaid , We regret that the noise canceling did not meet your expectation. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. We'd love to help and turn your experience around. If the noise canceling is not sufficient, please try the following steps below:

      Make sure the noise canceling function is turned on.
      If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance.
