Posted .Hi JordanM,
Amazing! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality, noise canceling function, and dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) of the headphones. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thank you for choosing Sony!

They are decent headphones but not great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The head band is just not comfortable for me. I'm also not a huge fan of the sound on these. The spatial audio is not top tier for gaming and the bass is relatively washed out. I do like the ear cups though. Also the ANC is hands down some of the best in the game as far as over ear is concerned.

Posted .Hi STRG, we appreciate your time sharing your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones.
Regarding the headband comfort, you might find it helpful to ensure that you are wearing the headphones correctly. Adjusting the sliders so that the headband touches softly on the top of your head can improve comfort.
For the sound quality, you can try adjusting the sound quality mode using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. There are two modes available: "Priority on sound quality" and "Priority on stable connection." Switching to "Priority on sound quality" might enhance your listening experience.

Sony XM5
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a must cop if you look for good sounding earbuds for a fair price. But using a different app to change the setting is weird. But overall a must if you are looking for something good.
