    Noise cancelling is very good. The sound is quite good and the UI has improved a bit. I also have the WF1000XM4 and those are more comfortable by far, these hurt my ears after an hour or so (I could wear the XM4s all day). The newer headphone do not sit in their case easily, the old generation snapped into the charging case very nicely. There is no improvement to the Bluetooth connection or range, in fact it seems worse. Over the improvements do not outweigh the negatives of the newer model (which only lasted me about a year). More planned obsolescence trash unfortunately.

      Thank you for your review of the Sony WF-1000XM5, Julio. We appreciate your positive remarks regarding the sound quality and noise-canceling features. However, we regret to hear that you find the ear pieces uncomfortable.

      Comfort is a crucial factor when it comes to headphones. It can sometimes take a little time to adjust to new earpieces, especially if you are accustomed to a different style. We suggest experimenting with the various sizes of ear tips included with the WF-1000XM5, as finding the right fit can greatly enhance comfort. If the provided tips do not suit your needs, consider exploring third-party alternatives specifically designed for improved comfort.

      We are dedicated to delivering high-quality products and value your feedback, as it plays a vital role in our ongoing improvement. If you continue to experience discomfort, please do not hesitate to reach out for further assistance. Thank you once again for your support and understanding.

      If you have any additional questions or require further help, please feel free to contact our support team directly.
      Thank you for choosing Sony!
