    The transparency mode or ambient sound mode is greatly improved. The sound quality is slightly diminished. I prefer the sound profile of the wf-1000 xm4’s. However, I do like that these can be used with the LDAC codec while connected to 2 devices at the same time. The xm4’s were only capable of one or the other but not both at the same time.

    Perfect headphones, only a slight improvement if it was possible for me to use the app to find it if it was lost and also Sonia use some memory foam for the earbuds and the inside of the ears to make it more of a custom fit. Even if it was the cost $100 extra, I think people would’ve paid for the custom fit but perfect headphones for the current technology/desgin.

      Hi MichaelF,

      We are sorry to hear that the noise canceling on your WF-1000XM5 has been disappointing, especially since you’ve had such a positive experience with our over-ear headphones.

      Because the WF-1000XM5 uses a different driver and processor than previous models, the noise-canceling performance is heavily dependent on a specific set of factors. Before deciding on a different pair, we recommend trying these steps to see if the performance improves:

      1. Optimize the Seal: Earbuds require a perfect airtight seal to block noise. In the Sony | Sound Connect app, use the "Determines Optimal Earbud Tips" tool. This will test your current fit and tell you if you should switch to a different size tip for either ear.

      2. Proper Insertion: The foam tips on this model should be slightly compressed with your fingers before insertion. Once in your ear, hold them for a few seconds to let the foam expand. This creates the vacuum seal necessary for the noise canceling to work effectively.

      3. Disable Adaptive Sound: Check the app to ensure "Adaptive Sound Control" is turned off. If this is on, the earbuds might be automatically switching to Ambient Mode (letting noise in) because they detect you are walking or moving.

      If the issue persists, please reach out to our support team here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      Thank you for considering Sony!

      Hi AdrienM,

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience so far with your new WF-1000XM5 headphones. While we are glad you like most of the features, we regret your experience with our product and we apologize if the unit did not fit your ears well. If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. For the proper sound quality, noise canceling function, and call sound quality to be effective, it is advisable to follow this Help Guide link for wearing the earbuds properly:
