    sound quality is great but as someone with a small head, i havent had the best experience with the headphones. Noise cancelling is good but doesnt entirely block out sound

      Hi McLiv, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your experience with your WH1000XM5. While we're glad you appreciate the great sound quality this unit delivers, we regret to hear that you haven't had the best experience with the fit. We understand that the fit of the headphones is important, especially for people with smaller heads. We designed these headphones with an adjustable slider (left and right) to ensure comfortable fit for long period of time. The step-less slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, make it a pleasure to wear, but we know that everyone's head is different.
      And if you feel that the effect of noise canceling is insufficient, please follow the troubleshooting steps on this link to resolve the issue:

    I was happy with these headphones until they just suddenly stopped connecting to my desktop which is my main source for my streaming services. They will connect to my smartphone but not to my 2 year old TV or my PC. I still have my XM3's which I went back to and they connected immediately. And may I add sounded better. So having bought them back in May I am well past the return window so I am stuck with a $400 paperweight which bevause of pther promotions I was paying off I haven'£t even started paying for uet. Obviously I am not a happy camper.
