    I use these every day! The noise cancelling is great, and I love that I’m able to connect to 2 devices via Bluetooth simultaneously. Not the best for workouts, they tend to slide off my head but it’s manageable.

    Great sound but I needed to use this as a noise canceling headset for phone calls. Unfortunately there is a well documented issue with feedback (echo) when you speak into the headset. I tried all the fixes listed on the Internet forums but it didn’t work. I returned it and went back to my Bose headset.

      Hi StanB, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the sound quality of the Sony - WH1000XM5, but we're truly sorry to learn about the echo issue during calls and that it impacted your experience. We understand how important reliable call performance is, especially when noise cancelling is a priority. Your feedback is valuable, and we've shared it with our product team to help improve future updates and designs. We appreciate you giving Sony a try and hope to have the chance to earn back your trust down the road. Regards, -Dominick Sony_US
