Solid but too advanced.
|Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Extremely good audio quality and noise cancellation, but the touch controls are far too sensitive. I dislike that they can so easily be activated.

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!
Best regards,

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love these headphones. They sound better than my older pair of Bose headphones. Just wish they made them with a better material around the ear that had moisture wicking material. I use them when I mow and I tend to sweat and they slide off at times.

Sony headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m giving them a four because they come with no directions and I can’t seem to link them to my Rand McNally GPS system which is blue tooth. I can hear really well with them on. Everyone says they are really clear on the other end. I’m supposed to wear hearing aids but with these I can hear everything quite well. So if I could get some help linking these to my GPS they would get a five plus rating

Hearing them for my self though, i was caught off guard by how utterly silent the ANC makes your surroundings. I use these daily for teams calls and music while working. Excellent sound quality and mind blowing ANC.
