Hi AlexisG, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the sound quality and noise canceling feature of WH1000XM5. It's important to acknowledge the aspects of your feedback. The WH-1000XM5 indeed prioritizes sound quality with an option to adjust this via the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. It offers two modes: "Priority on sound quality" and "Priority on stable connection". Although the WH-1000XM5 is designed to deliver high-quality sound and effective noise cancellation, individual preferences and experiences with audio quality can vary, leading to different comparisons with products from other brands. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl

Hello PaulF,

Thank you for considering Sony products.

It brings us great joy to hear that you appreciate the sound quality of the WH-1000XM5 and find it performs well compared to other products. We understand that some background noise can still be heard, and we want to help you get the most out of the noise cancellation feature. To maximize its effectiveness, please ensure the headphones are worn properly with the ear pads sealing well around your ears. Additionally, turning off Adaptive Sound Control and setting noise cancellation to its highest level manually can improve your experience.

Hi DanielB!
We are excited to hear you're enjoying your WH-1000XM5 headphones! It's great that you were able to get them on sale and that they're working so well for music.
However, we apologize that you're not completely satisfied with the sound stage for gaming with your headphones. We understand it can be frustrating when sounds in front and behind sound similar. We also appreciate your feedback on the bass and the app's functionality.

We do have a great Inzone H9 Gaming Headset that's specifically designed for gaming and spatial sound. We hope you'll give them a try!

Thank you for considering Sony products and for your feedback!
Best regards,
Estefany
