      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
