Poorly designed noise cancelling feature
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have an automatically adjusting active noise cancelling. Basically, depending on the environment, how you move your head, or how you are wearing these headphones, you will HEAR the noise cancelling change completely. You will randomly hear it become less strong or more strong, etc… it does this seemingly at random. This is extremely annoying and this feature cannot be turned off, it ruins these headphones for me personally.

Posted .Hi Lucas,
We are very sorry to hear about your frustration with the noise-canceling performance of your WH-1000XM5 headphones. What you are describing sounds like the Adaptive Sound Control or Speak-to-Chat features, which can be adjusted or disabled.
We recommend opening the "Sony | Headphones Connect" app and turning off Adaptive Sound Control on the Status tab. Additionally, please ensure Speak-to-Chat is disabled in the Sound tab, as this can also cause the audio to shift when it detects movement or speech. While the Auto NC Optimizer adjusts to your environment, disabling these specific settings usually provides the consistent experience you are looking for.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
