I find some new Images: Momentum 5
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

Sony WH-1000XM5 work terrible on Desktop Teams and Discord apps
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

Sony WH-1000XM5 — Total Disappointment!
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

Help PX7 S3 – Left Ear Noticeably Louder Than Right & Soundstage Imbalance
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

Anyone else fed up of waiting for the Momentum M5?
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.

Trying to find the best wireless headphone under $350
ANYTHING BUT THE BOSE, response curve is awful, so is level of detail (probably bad drivers), they're seriously overrated. I'd say JBL Tour One M3 (remote not necessary). Better ANC than Sony WH-1000XM5 in my experience. 12 band EQ in app. USB C supports both analog AND digital input (for the latter

How to get noise cancelling to work properly on WH-1000XM5 Head phones?
I have an android phone. I use the app to switch back and forth between using my phone or my laptop - however, i have ambient sound control on and noise cancelling selected and yet as i sit here with sound off - i can quite clearly hear sounds from other conversations.
