This aint it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No more NFC, cups don't flip down while wearing them around your neck, and not an insane difference in sound quality compared to the previous versions. Plus they're $50 more? Nope. Bought these hoping they would replace my M3's, but they just aren't it. If NFC doesn't matter to you (which I can assume it doesn't for most) and you don't already have the M3's or M4's, these will probably be a good buy. Still, you'd probably be better off getting the M4's, the M5's are only okay.

Posted .Hi BrendaO, We are sorry to hear about your concern. For more comfortable listening experience, please make sure to adjust the slider of your headphones to a length where the headband touches the top of your head and adjust the orientation of the left and right units so that the earpads fit snugly all around your ears. Refer to this link on how to wear your headphones correctly: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000539062.html. Despite your concern, it's nice to know that you still like them, especially the noise canceling feature. With our WH-1000XM5 headphones, you can enjoy magnificent sound quality which is engineered to perfection and have a battery life that can last up to 30 hours with quick charging (3 min charge for 3 hours of playback). With 8 total microphones, these headphones are our biggest step forward in noise canceling technology. Thank you for choosing Sony! Vincent
