    The boom mic on my Jabra 75 headset started failing. After reading an amazing review on soundguys.com for the WH1000XM5 I drove to Best Buy and bought them. The sound is great. The noise cancelling is great (I work from home in a room with a window AC unit). However, I can't hear myself talk when on a call unless I turn off the ANC, and that defeats the purpose of the ANC for me. I'm going to have to return them and find something else.

      Hi JamesF, While we're glad you like the great sound quality and noise cancellation of the Sony XM5, we regret to hear that you're unable to hear yourself talk during phone calls and it had to be returned. For this specific issue, I would suggest adjusting the noise cancelling function using the Sony Headphones Connect app and find the right spot where the noise cancellation still blocks out outside noise but still hear your voice during phone calls.
      For future reference, we can offer assistance on how to set up or operate the features and functions, and troubleshoot the issue of your Sony product by visiting our Sony Support website to download the help guide and look for additional information about your product. Also, you can reach out to one of our agents through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US. who would be glad to help. I hope you consider our Sony products in the future. Thank you for sharing your feedback. -Sam Sony_US

    Love the ANC and the sound response. One caveat with these over the ears is that they can heat up your ears. I can last for an hour or so. Also, not good for the plane, the prior model is better, folds up better. Pretty pricey as well.
