    Great Headphones, Okay App & A Little Frustration

    The app is okay and the headphones are nice, not perfect but they are nice. The app can be a lot to deal with and apart from just pressing buttons and getting a feel of it, it is not really intuitive. That being said there are some very kool features with it. As for the headphones, I wish there was more than 3 levels of noise cancellation and I wish the cancellation was on a higher level. Comparing them to the Bose, I'd say the headphones themselves work well and there are more options with the app but the noise cancelation is not as good. These are still great headphones with many features and are worth the price but I would have been happier if they costed around $325 vs $400. There are also paid app features that I have not used yet and that is frustrating because of the price.

      Hi Dbestskills, we're glad that you like the headphones and use of apps. We're sorry if the app isn't intuitive. But we hope that you'll give it more time to familiarize and get used to using he Headphones Connect app. 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.
