    I’m not sure if the pair I purchased are faulty but the Noise Cancellation isn’t good enough. I tried them in the store before I purchased them (during a very noisy Black Friday) and they were perfect, I couldn’t hear anything but the music. But the pair I have don’t cancel background noises that well. I might have to return them for a different pair. Overall great sound quality and very comfortable, but if I’m buying “Noise Canceling” headphones for $300 I’d want them to work as advertised.

      Hi AlyssaW, WeRe sorry to hear about your experience. This is definitely not the news we'd like to hear from you. Allow us to help and turn your experience around.

      The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. If the effect of noise canceling is not sufficient, please try the following:

      Make sure the noise canceling function is turned on.
      Adjust the headset into a comfortable position.
      The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.

      Additional step is available on the Help Guide:
      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000534745.html

      I hope this helps but if you still need assistance, do not hesitate to drop us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
