Great sound quality/best noise canceling hdphones
October 07, 2022
I was excited to start using Sony's WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones. I am currently typing this review while wearing the headphones! First of all, the headphones are stored in a sleek carrying case. There is a pocket for the headphone wired jack/cable and charger cable (very short cable?). Beautiful case, but bigger than previous model as this model's headphones do not fold up? Sound is AWESOME. Noise cancelling feature is FANTASTIC.I cannot hear much outside noise when I have these headphones on. Earpads are very very soft and comfortable. Hope the material on the earpads last after prolonged usage. Headband hurts a bit at the top of my head as it weighs down a bit, but that can be just me - I have a sensitive head. Overall, a snug fit -- not too tight. Learning curve was a bit tougher as I am older - but my son had the headphones up and running and playing around with its features in 15 seconds flat!!!! Meanwhile, I had to download Sony's headphone software onto my iPhone. Do that as there are instructions in the app. Plus, you can set it up to link to Spotify, etc. and use the touch controls - for example, swiping up on the right headphone raises the volume, swiping down decreases volume, double tab pauses the music, forward swipe forwards to next song, taking off headphones shuts off power, etc. These touch features are really snazzy when working correctly, but then I've experienced glitchiness as well. Lots of other features on the app you can play with and customize to your liking. I like the fast charging of battery and LONG battery life - big plus for me. DEFINITELY WILL COME IN HANDY TO NOT ALWAYS BE WORRYING ABOUT CHARGING HEADPHONES! I foresee myself using this pair of headphones quite often!... Read More
