Dissapointed
I'm very disappointed with this product, I bought a Sony TV a Sony Soundbar and these headphones, I have downloaded the Connect App and it appears that I cannot change the sound quality via the equaliser to suit my needs to watch TV, that is to have a different volume to the soundbar and a clear sound. It has been suggested to me that the only way I can achieve this is to buy a Bluetooth Transmitter really!
Flat Sound
Poor easy instructions
I and very disappointed with the customer support with this product. I still have not been able to get the headphones working properly because of the lack of instructions. I cannot answer my phone when it rings. Where is your instruction manual?

Posh headphones, designed for big blokes
I really wanted to love these, in fact I ordered, reordered, and returned two different colourways. In the end I returned them because a) they are far to large for my head, even on the smallest setting and b) aesthetically the colourways are very ''cold" and don't suit my warm colouring, and c) the touch controls are on the right hand side only, making it awkward to use whilst doing right handed activites. The shape of the earphones meant that the lowest point would sit right on my jawline. I consider myself to have a fairly big round head (!) but it feels like these were really designed for men, without much thought for smaller women's bodies. The aesthetic point isn't something I would normally worry about too much, however for the price and prestige of these headphones I think you really have to love them to justify the cost. In the end I've opted for a pair of Anker noise cancelling headphones which share a lot of the same features, have a much warmer tone that suits my colouring, and most importantly - fit my head. They're nowhere near as well designed or high quality as these Sony ones but having them not sit on my jaw is more important than the sound quality at this stage for me. Sony - make a smaller pair, with round ear pads, in warm colours, and maybe I'll reconsider.

Hi Ellie,
thank you for your question.
Although the WH-1000XM5 ear pads provide comfort and a decent amount of sealing, these are on-ear headphones, and some sound leakage might occur at very high volumes.

Hello Ellie
I can advise the following for: Sony WH1000XM5 Over-Ear Wireless Headphones - Silver.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones have good sound leakage performance, meaning they rarely leak audio to the surrounding environment when used at reasonable volume levels. They are designed to contain audio well, allowing for private listening even in quiet environments.
Thanks for using Q&A
