      Hi OlgaG, Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM5! We are glad to hear that you appreciate the great sound quality. We understand that the portability of the WH-1000XM5 may not match that of the WH-1000XM3 due to the design change where the headphones do not fold inwards. We value your input and strive to continually improve our products to meet the expectations of our customers. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    A definite upgrade from my old Sony headphones. They have superior nose cancellation and the added features are definitely worth the investment. I do miss the fact they do no fold like my old pair. Makes it a little more bulky to carry. The noise cancellation does take a tolll on the battery life.

      Hi PaulL, Fantastic!We're delighted to hear that you find them a significant upgrade from your previous Sony headphones, especially appreciating the superior noise cancellation and added features. We understand your concern about the headphones not being foldable, which can make them a bit bulkier to carry. Regarding battery life, while noise cancellation does consume more power, the headphones are designed to balance performance and battery efficiency. We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy the premium audio experience with your WH-1000XM5. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    [Employee of bestbuy] 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.

      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 Sony_US
