Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, JimmyD.
We are pleased to hear that you are finding value in the WH-1000XM5 headphones' excellent Noise Cancellation and the functionality of the associated app. We put a lot of focus on creating a world-class listening environment, so it is great to know those features are working well for you.
We are sorry, however, to hear that the sound quality is not completely meeting your expectations. We're committed to providing a premium audio experience, and we would like to ensure you are getting the best performance possible.
Have you tried using the Equalizer feature within the Sony Headphones Connect app? Adjusting the EQ settings can often significantly tailor the sound profile to your specific preferences, offering clearer highs, deeper bass, or a more balanced mix.
We value this feedback and hope a small adjustment helps you unlock the full audio potential of your WH-1000XM5 headphones.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Hands down one of my favorite headphones.

Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these things I've had these for quite a while and they still look and work like brand new. My fiance absolutely hates them because of the noise canceling when I have them on and she has to get up and tap me on the shoulders to get my attention.
