WH-1000XM5

Try this EQ for your XM5.

Clear bass set to +3. 400Hz left at 0. 1KHz set to +6. 2.5KHz set to +8. 6.3KHz set to +5. 16KHz set to +5.

I feel like this really opens up the XM5 and they sound quite nice. Let me know what you think.

FIRST, you need to realize that Sony manufactures one of the best dynamic drivers in the world, but they suck at tuning them for unknown reasons. With the right technique, and software tweaks, you can change the sound of your dynamic drivers on your Sonys to near-audiophile levels.

TLDR; the things

About a year ago I changed to Tidal, from Spotify, but I still use Spotify for podcasts. The primary reason as to why I switched to Tidal is the bitrate (I went for their at the time HiFi 1XXX bitrate subscribtion as a student). I had just gotten my Sony WH-1000XM5 at the time, but I often find myse

I bought XM5’s and returned. I was seeing new posts here daily of them snapping at the hinge. Also I need to criticize Sony for their extremely busy apps. It was no different than their BT speaker ult field 5. Their apps are so busy, too many options all over the place. They desperately need to simp

Hi guys,

is anyone out here a new user of these new XM5's and is struggling with using Discord or Teams on Desktop? I experience very poor sound and microphone quality using them on these apps (using IOS apps works just fine). I've read some articles that people have tried to manage this problem wi

I regret buying these headphones!

First of all, the touch controls are awful! Why do they activate when I brush my shoulder, tilt my head, or accidentally bump the headphones — but refuse to respond properly when I’m wearing gloves? It’s infuriating!

Second, because of these false triggers, the Sp

Hey everyone, I’m facing a strange issue with my Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S3 — and it’s similar to a problem I had before with my Sony WH-1000XM5.

When I first got the PX7 S3, both sides sounded perfectly balanced. No channel imbalance, no weird imaging shift. After a while, I started experimenting hea

Hi I have some xm5s and I've been using an earbud EQ not the headphones one so does anyone have suggestions, I'm new and don't understand the app much so one of the devices recommendations would probably be best if someone uses one and has modified it, I'm using the: Super Review over-ear parametric

Everything but the sound and battery life of the HDB 630 is pretty garbage in comparison with Sony's top line. I've owned XM5 for three years and have had my 630 for half a year now, it's pristine sound (for bluetooth in this price range) with the most horrendous firmware, controls and app support.

They're equivalent to XM5's for ANC, but are more comfortable, better built, light and the sound is great with EQ. Clamping force is good. And with the Bose your ears fit slightly within the earpads so they do give a good seal and fit. I haven't used mic, but no app issues.
