Solid but too advanced.
|Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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,
Gus

The effect of sony headphones is really powerful
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My head is a little big, so it would be better if it could be stretched a little more, but it is very comfortable to wear, and the sound noise reduction function is really perfect. I have been watching this headset for a long time, and the discount on best buy made me get it. Thanks to this store

Worth a little adjustment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just excellent! You will need to adjust the equalization to your taste - out of the box it is muddy. Noise cancellation is just right and it is a little sensitive to talking (shutting playback). Again, still just excellent!

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.
