Posted .Hi Noah,
You made the right choice upgrading to the Sony WH-1000XM5! We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones.
Upgrading to the XM5 will be worth it! The WH-1000XM5 headphones are our biggest step forward in noise canceling technology. From airplane noise to people’s voices, our WH-1000XM5 features 2 processors control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm precision-engineered driver, DSEE – Extreme, and Hi-Res audio support, the WH-1000XM5 headphones provide awe-inspiring audio quality. And with the totally revamped design and beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather that fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our elegant design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Posted .Hi Meddy,
Thank you for sharing your feedback—We are sorry to hear that call quality on your WH1000XM5 headphones didn’t fulfill your expectations, even though music playback has been great. For clearer calls, try resetting the Bluetooth connection and ensuring the headphones' firmware is up to date using the Sony Sound Connect app; you can find the troubleshooting steps on the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000534602.html. Also, make sure the microphone openings are clean and free from dust, and that you’re using the headphones in a quieter environment when possible, as background noise can affect performance. Your experience is important to us, and we appreciate you letting us know how the headphones are working for you.
Thank you for considering Sony products!
Best regards
DiegoV.
