Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound phenomenal. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Only issue I’ve found is that if you’re warm, they can get a little uncomfortable and cause you to sweat some

Posted .Hi Butterball,
Thank you for your time writing this review. While we are glad you like the amazing sound quality and noise canceling features of the WH1000XM5, we're sorry to hear that headphones is falling off your head while working out. Here are few tips to prevent these kind of issues:
Wear the headset on your ears properly.
Extend the slider to its full length before putting on the headset.
Put on the headset with the earpads fitting snugly over your ears.
Adjust the slider to a length where the headband touches the top of your head.
Adjust the orientation of the left and right units so that the earpads fit snugly all around your ears. If you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect.

Yikes!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only thing the XM5s have going for them is they sound wonderful. Not comfortable for long wearing. The headband is the deal breaker. They look cheap. Every iteration of these looks cheap. They compete with Bose. Really is no other competition for them. Bottom line: they look cheap and the headband is just awful. Multi-billion dollar industry and some engineer(s) decided to put a very narrow round headband on these headphones. Can you say "pressure point" boys and girls? Sure you can.
