Hi Kendall! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. We're sorry to hear that the earcups weren't as comfortable as you'd hoped and that the initial sound profile didn't quite meet your expectations.

We understand that comfort is key, especially during long listening sessions, and we appreciate you bringing the earcup size and depth to our attention. This kind of feedback is valuable as we're always looking for ways to improve our designs.

It's great to hear that you were able to customize the sound to your liking using the Sony Headphones Connect app's EQ settings! We're also glad that you found the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to be effective – it's something we're very proud of with the WH-1000XM5.

Thanks again for your honest review and choosing us. Your insights are helpful for us and for others considering these headphones. If you have any further questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Best regards,
Gus

Hello EdwardM,

Thank you for choosing Sony!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones.

We are so pleased to hear that you are impressed with both the sound quality and the noise canceling performance—these are two areas we worked hard to refine!

However, we are genuinely sorry to learn that you are experiencing discomfort and pain after wearing them for only 20 minutes. This is certainly not the all-day comfort we designed the XM5s to provide. Headphones that cause pain defeat the purpose of great audio and ANC, and we want to help.

Discomfort can sometimes be related to fit or pressure. We recommend trying different ways to adjust the headband to ensure the earcups are sitting properly and the clamping force is evenly distributed.

If the discomfort persists, we encourage you to contact our dedicated product support team so they can troubleshoot the fit with you and explore potential options.

We appreciate you choosing Sony and hope to ensure you can enjoy your headphones comfortably.
