      Hi Elias,

      You made the right choice! 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!

    The sound is fantastic and the app is easy to use. However, I had to return them because they were constantly connecting to my phone even when in the case with the lid closed. Very frustrating.

      Hi Derick,

      We're glad that you like the sound quality and dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you had connectivity issue with the earbuds. For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony app). Both earbuds must placed correctly on the charging case. Each headset unit will be set to the correct position in the charging case by the built-in magnet. Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue.

      Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

    I have owned a pevious model of these earbuds, which eventually died, and that pair had good noise cancellation but this version of earbuds the noise cancellation is not as effective and not as distinctive as the previous model. The sound clarity if average and I have a pair of tone that are just as good. For the money I would go with a different brand. I do appreciate Sony's products but these earbuds not what I expected.

    The noise cancelling on these is terrible. I had the previous version and there was zero outside noise unless you selected ambient noise. This version doesn't block all of the ambiet noise, it rather supresses it.
