Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are a true upgrade from the XM4s in every way; though the question remains of how significant of an upgrade? The sound quality and isolation is amazing. Not quite at the Airpod Max level - but impressive nonetheless! The touch controls on the right ear up by itself makes these an intriguing option to consider when looking for a high quality, excellent sounding pair of headphones! I’m glad to have received these over the holidays!

Posted .Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the excellent audio quality and noise cancellation of the WH-1000XM5, ChaseP. Regarding your concern about the touch controls being overly sensitive, we understand that accidental activation can be frustrating.
While there isn’t an option to directly adjust the sensitivity of the touch controls on the WH-1000XM5, there are some best practices that may help reduce unintended touches:
- Ensure that you are making swipe gestures perpendicular (forward/backward) or parallel (up/down) to the headband, as the angle and direction can impact how the touch sensor interprets your input. Using correct gesture alignment may help avoid accidental activations.
- Be mindful of how you wear the headphones, as the orientation and how snugly they fit can affect the response of the touch sensors.
- When setting the headphones down or adjusting them, try to avoid contact with the touch control panel to minimize unintended input.
We appreciate your input, as it helps us continually improve our products and user experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Gus

Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones better noise cancellation than 4. I noticed a beeping sound when I first bought it during listening. All you have to do is change the toggle where it switches automatically. The headphones are trying to automatically adjust to ambient and noise canceling. I took that off now what ever I do im in controll of the sound And no beeping.
