      Hi KenS,

      Perfect! We're glad that you like the fit, size, and sound quality 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!

    Purchased for my husband as he has severe tinnitus so while mowing pur yard he can drown out the ringing. The noise canceling helps him to only hear the music he plays and he doesn't hear the sound of the mower or weedeater!! He absolutely loves them

      Hi NicholasF,

      We're delighted to hear that you find the fit and sound of the WF-1000XM5 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds to be great. We sincerely apologize that your experience with calls has been disappointing, as call clarity is a crucial function. We understand that call performance, especially in noisy environments, can sometimes be affected by the aggressive noise suppression on the microphone. Please ensure your earbuds have the latest firmware update via the Headphones Connect app, as we frequently release updates that address performance concerns. Additionally, checking that you have the optimal ear tip seal (using the fit test in the app) and cleaning the microphone mesh can sometimes improve voice pickup. If the issue persists, contact our support team, as they can provide more advanced troubleshooting or determine if this requires further assistance. Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Eliab Sony_US

    I had the older version of this kind of wireless / sport Sony headphones, and I was in need of an upgrade. Just getting older and worn out, nothing unexpected and purchased these. So glad I did. It’s almost as if Sony actually listened to consumers who reviewed the older model and this is the byproduct. Very pleased with the upgrade.
