Posted .Hi Yukon,
We're truly happy you like the superb audio quality of these headphones. We’d love to help you troubleshoot your problem. If the effect of noise canceling is not sufficient, make sure the noise canceling function is turned on. Press the NC/AMB button repeatedly to turn ON the noise canceling function. When the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app is turned on, the wearer's actions, like walking or running, are detected. The noise canceling function is automatically adjusted and the Ambient Sound Mode may be activated according to these actions.
To make the most of the noise canceling function, turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it. You may refer to this link for troubleshooting steps to isolate and fix this issue: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm5/articles/00267839
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.

Too many small problems
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great. So is noise cancelling. You can only connect this to two devices, which is one less than the previous model. Also, these dont fold so the case they come in is gigantic. Also also, they stick out further so I kept hitting them on things accidentally. If you havent used the previous gen of these headphones (the xm4’s) then I’d say these are good. However, having used the XM4’s, these feel like a step backwards in too many ways.
