Hi ComfortN,

Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM5. We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. Your feedback about the battery life and controls is greatly appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

When you wear the headset, Auto NC Optimizer function always automatically optimizes the noise canceling performance by analyzing the wearing condition of the headset according to the shape of your face and your hairstyle, or the presence or absence of glasses, and the pressure change in an airplane, etc. There is no need for the wearer to press a button or use the touch sensor control panel to use this function. Because the noise canceling performance is automatically optimized by the Auto NC Optimizer function according to changes in the wearing condition and usage environment, you may notice fluctuations in the noise canceling effect.

Please note that usage hours may vary depending on the settings for the headset functions and usage conditions. You may refer to this link for more information:

Hi Isiah,

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!

We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying your WH-1000XM5 headphones. It’s great to know you find the noise cancellation to be wonderful, and even consider them among the best over-the-ear headphones on the market. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your positive experience!

Hi McLiv, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your experience with your WH1000XM5. While we're glad you appreciate the great sound quality this unit delivers, we regret to hear that you haven't had the best experience with the fit. We understand that the fit of the headphones is important, especially for people with smaller heads. We designed these headphones with an adjustable slider (left and right) to ensure comfortable fit for long period of time. The step-less slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, make it a pleasure to wear, but we know that everyone's head is different.
And if you feel that the effect of noise canceling is insufficient, please follow the troubleshooting steps on this link to resolve the issue:
