Top notch head phones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these 2 years ago. These are the best headphones I've ever owned. I use them 24-7, from the office to the gym and around the house. They've fallen off my head and hit the ground numerous times. And still, keep on ticking. Unparalleled sound quality. With the best noise canceling you'll ever hear.

Fantastic but uncomfortable
|Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound great, block most of the noise around me, and look amazing. Unfortunately, they get uncomfortable after about ten minutes of use. Sony didn’t add nearly enough padding to the headband so it feels like my head is right against the plastic. I’ve seen some reviews about this, but most don’t mention it, so maybe its not much of an issue for everyone.

Posted .Hi DallinC, Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. It's great to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality and noise-canceling features. However, I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing with the headband padding.
Ensuring the correct fit can significantly improve comfort. Here are some tips on how to wear the headphones correctly:
Check the Left and Right Indicators: Make sure you are wearing the headphones with the correct orientation. The left and right sides are marked on each slider, with a tactile dot on the left side.
Adjust the Sliders: Extend the sliders and position the earpads to cover your ears completely. Adjust the sliders so that the headband touches the top of your head softly.
Ensure Proper Fit: Make sure the earpad cushions do not bump against your ears and that the headband fits snugly but comfortably on the top of your head.
I hope this helps!
Regards,
Carl
