XM5 Review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds quality is what you'd expect for the price. Sadly however, the comfortability was not. Headband does not have much padding and ear pads are pretty standard.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones, IsaiahP. We appreciate your honest review regarding both the sound quality and comfortability.
Regarding the sound quality, the WH-1000XM5 headphones offer a high-standard audio experience, particularly considering the price point. The headphones feature different sound quality modes during Bluetooth playback, which can be adjusted using the "Sony | Headphones Connect" app. You can choose between the "Priority on sound quality" mode, which prioritizes audio fidelity, and the "Priority on stable connection" mode, which ensures a more stable wireless connection depending on your environment.
Regarding comfortability, we regret to hear that the headband padding and ear pads did not meet your expectations. The headband on the WH-1000XM5 indeed has padding, but feedback like yours may help us improve future models. This aspect is something we continually look into to provide a better user experience.
Your detailed input aids us in better understanding customer needs and enhancing product designs.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for choosing us.
