Sound quality great
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to get over-the-ear headphones after I started using a hearing aid. The headphone feels and sounds very good. When I first started using it, for the first week or so, I was getting very dizzy. Had to get used to it little by little, i.e. not using it when I'm outside walking, etc. Thankfully, I got used to it and don't get dizzy anymore. The switch between 2 devices could be faster. The app could also be better.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the sound quality of the WH-1000XM5, CM009. We're glad to hear you’re enjoying your listening experience.
Regarding your comments on noise cancelling: The WH-1000XM5 uses advanced noise cancelling technology to minimize background sounds, but the effectiveness can vary depending on your environment and how the headphones are worn. If the noise cancelling seems weaker than expected, making sure the headphones fit securely and checking for firmware updates through the Sony | Headphones Connect app may help enhance performance. Additionally, updating and customizing the noise cancelling settings in the app can sometimes make a noticeable difference.
For the controls issue: Occasional touch control inaccuracy can be due to external factors like moisture, debris, or how the headphones are being touched. For the most accurate response, ensure the touch sensor area is clean and dry, and try using deliberate taps or swipes as shown in the user guide. If issues persist, restarting your headphones or resetting settings through the Headphones Connect app may improve responsiveness.
Your feedback is valuable, and we’re always working to improve our products. If you need further assistance with noise cancelling or controls, please contact customer support or visit the Sony support website for more troubleshooting tips.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Great headphones but not for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and comfort are amazing but I wear them for working and sometimes raise my arms and it always hits the touch features and will pause and change the noise cancelling interrupting my music. It’s annoying.
