    Really great headphones but the noise cancellation isn’t as good as advertised. Also sometimes struggled to connect to MacBook and need to reconnect it consistently

      Hi diyab, Awesome! We;re glad that you are enjoying the noise canceling function of your new headphones. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design.

      For connectivity issue, please ensure the headphones software is updated. Resetting and initializing is also a recommendation. https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541012.html
