![[Tips] Sony WH-1000 XM5 | What Sony Didn't Tell You!](/img/n.gif)
There is a better way to raise and lower volume. You can swipe up/down and then hold, the volume will continuously decrease/increase for as long as you hold.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! that method is SO much better than swiping multiple times.
On which side
@@Ohkeh640 The right side. The left side has no touch response controls.
@@johnkillmar9560 cheers
I’m getting mine today as a birthday gift
What’s your eq settings ?
Also some people say when they talk the music cuts off do you know how I can turn that off?? In the app?
Thanks alot I shared the video with everyone I know that has a xm5. I like how you simplify everything and make it easier to understand.
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it
Thank you I just got mine and I'm still learning how to use it :) it was super useful!!
Glad it was helpful
Thanks for an informative video. In the future, please consider filling as much of the screen as possible with the cell phone display. Even with a 30" monitor, much of what I saw was blurry. Even so, I learned useful information and appreciate your knowledge.
Thanks, we will make a note of that. Glad you enjoyed the video
Correction: When placing your hand on the right ear cup, the playback is NOT paused. The volume is lowered and the ambient sound is turned on and the playback continues.
Thanks for letting us know!
Can confirm
Perfect, just what I needed, thank you.
Glad it helped!
I’ve just purchased these headphones and my early impression is they are excellent! This video has been VERY helpful - Thanks
Glad I could help!
Excellent tutorial wish you had went into more detail on 360° Reality AUDIO. I found it counter productive that I had to install yet another app and sign up for a trial subscription to be able to use the 360° Reality AUDIO setup function. All in all found the XM5 headphones to be an excellent choice if you are like me and prefer over-the-ear.
Thanks for sharing, we are glad you liked our guide.
I feel the same way, decided to skip that 360. It's trying to mimic (for cash-grab) Apple Music and Spotify right? 😄
Oh damn
I’m getting mine today as a birthday gift but won’t be buying apps
Thank you! This has been really helpful. :)
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching
Such a great and in-depth video, deserves more likes!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the video! Really helped with the setup :)
Glad it helped!
Gold. Didn’t see these gems anywhere else. Thanks!
Glad you liked it, thanks very much
I have just bought 1000XM5. Thank you for giving me tips. It is very helpful ^^
Glad it helped!
I bought the xm5 coming from the Bose Quietcomfort 35, and it's absolutely amazing, wow!
Great, thanks for sharing!
What eq setting do you use
I’m getting mine today
thank you so much great review and tips!
Glad it was helpful!
This was very useful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! just bought mine yesterday
Good choice!
Very helpful! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
excelent tutorial thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Hi! Thanks for the video. I've been using these for a couple weeks now and now I finally know how they work! Question: if I'm on a work call and I adjust the earphone so it comes a little bit off my ear, the audio disconnects and I can't get the audio back. So people are talking and they don't know I can't hear them. I have to drop out of the call and come back to get my audio back. Is there a way to avoid the audio shutting down when I move the earpad a little? I found the power off and pause settings... maybe that will help?
Possibly. Make sure you are touch the very outside of the shell when you move it
Thanks for the video. Nice way to know how the gadget goes before it arrives. And perhaps irrelevant but when they did, I loved the smell of these headphones. I wish it lasted forever lol
Haha, thanks!
Same 😀
I love my xm5's. Bought them 2 days ago and I didn't even know NC could be that good. I can't hear the outside world, makes it amazing for mowing the lawn.
Right on! Glad you're enjoying them!
Can you share your vision eq you use daily for music
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks
Welcome
is there a way to setup a button or a tap to mute the mic when speaking on the phone ?
I am also looking forward to this feature. This is the most frequently used feature I need
How to activate ir experience its spatial audio on iphone or android?
Hello you are doing really great.
Just had one question-
Is sony wh1000-xm5 comfortable with spectacles/eye-glasses??
Does it hurt our ears ??
Thank you
Most over ear headphones are not that comfortable with glasses on. Thanks for watching
These feel comfortable with my glasses on
I wear it with my glasses too, the clamping force isn't too bad for a noise cancelling 🎧 headphone. It's just hot for Malaysia's weather, I have to constantly take breaks from wearing it 🌡️
Great video dude
But i do hv two questions
Can the XM5s do conference calls by itself, if yes how?
And would u choose it over the Bose QC45s?
Lemme know
Yes we would choose it over the Bose. And you would be able to use these as a regular headset for conference calls or phone calls. It has a high quality mic.
Thanks for the early reply man
Made my decision a lot simpler
I hope the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones go on sale at Best Buy this year for Black Friday 2023. I purchased the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones last Black Friday 2022 for $228 at Best Buy saving me over $100. These Sony noise cancelation headphones are awesome and it sounds like being at the movies wearing them watching my 2022 Samsung S95B OLED 4K Smart Television. I seem to be the only one that purchased these headphones only to use with my Bluetooth Samsung 4K OLED Smart Television.
We will have the same prices as Best Buy so you can always buy them from us when they go on sale!
How do you talk to someone for a long period of time when you are using the Sony WH - 1000XM5? I do know about 3:08 but, nothing is mentioned in the video about talking to someone for long periods of time. It makes it seem as if you always have to do 3:08 to talk to someone and start talking in order to have a conversation with someone>
You either take your headphones off - the music automatically stops. Or you pause your music and turn on ambient mode, but people will wonder why you are talking to them while wearing headphones :D
Got these for 200 dollars in Japan 😎 great upgrade from the Xm3 that I have. 👍 thanks for this video. 😊
We are glad you liked the video, thank you!
What’s your eq settings
Good vid
Thank you!
Anybody knows how to turn off the swipe sounds? Great video btw!
We do not think you can, but have not tried. Thanks for watching
I bought them today and it already annoys me. had a feeling tho that it didnt make any noise when using for the first 20 minutes
Can i connect this to my piano or amplifier so i could practice without interrupting people at home? Am planning to get one but unsure whether it will work for the function i need it to be.
You need something that can output bluetooth so you could pair the headphones to it.
It comes with a litte cable connector so i think it will work for you! But no bluetooth then ig?
In the sound tab when I turn on Ambient sound, then what does it mean, would it send emvironmental sound which I can hear also to the participant who is in call, or its just for me??
That is more for personal listening
@@AudioAdvice Thanks, also I feel when turn off the Noise Cancelling still it works (upto an extent)
I tried with high traffic and construction audio effect, and tested recording the call (using phone inbuilt call recording from my end).
It seems it was also cancelling my voice as my voice was more robotic/muffled as soon as I was increasing the noise.
Now I really made my self confused after trying this.
Please note that I don't have ambient control on for automatic detection.
awesome
Thank you!
one side of my headphones is not working and i tired so many thing to try to get it work again… do u have any idea that’ll help it?
That would be a sign they are broken. If they are still in warranty you should contact the Sony dealer you purchased them from or send them in to Sony for repair if they are out of warranty.
Hey there! I just got mine a week ago and all of a sudden the left channel stopped working. It looks like a bad connection, not sure about that. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
It sounds like you have a problem pair. You should reach back out to whoever you purchased them from.
@@AudioAdvice thanks for the answer!
Hello and good morning I have an issue connecting my sony headphones with my sony experia v5 phone. They have contacted in the past but don't seem to now. Any advice ? Thanks George
Try resetting your headphones and phone too. If the issue persists, see if they are under warranty from Sony.
Would this be ideal for work at home where on computer all day?
They are very comfortable, yes
Hi, just bought a pair and the sound is very quiet. Have increased the sound to the max on the right side of the headphone. Any ideas how to increase the sound? It doesn’t feel right that they are so quiet, thanks.
Something is wrong, have you checked your smartphone to make sure its volume is turned up?
POV: you swiped forward and skipped the video on accident 😂
the noise canceling mode is not working well lately like it dose not cancel the noise as before and idk how to fix it , im sure its on the noise canceling mode. is there any solution?
Sorry you are having trouble. You should reach out to the dealer you purchased from, that sounds like a problem that might require a repair.
Is it possible to use a gesture to rewind to the middle of the song and not just switch forward and back?
Unfortunately no.
Is it possible to disable the wear detection sensor? I swapped my earcups for thicker suede ones because the stock thin ones were getting uncomfortable after wearing for a long period of time. But now with the thicker ones the sensor thinks i am not wearing the headset when I am so turns off the noise passthrough and then turns off the headset :/
Yes, you should be able to disable that function in the app. Thanks for watching!
@@AudioAdvice I don't see an option for that. I don't suppose you know what it would be under? I can't find anything online for it either
@@TriMarkodid you find it
@@Ohkeh640 Nope, it's not possible to completely disable it. You can disable the automatic power off feature, but it will still disable the ambient noise passthough when it thinks you're not wearing the headset. What i eventually done was dissasembled the headset, took the sensor off its plastic mount. Then lengthened the wires from the sensor as there isnt much wiggle room. Then glued some little plastic blocks to the old mount, then stuck the sensor back to the new raised blocks. That way the sensor is closer to my ear so it knows when I'm wearing it correctly.
Honestly it was a pain in the ass. Would not recommend aftermarket thicker cups
@@TriMarko I’m confused
I’m getting mine
So basically if I want to sing while wearing these and listening to music they’ll shut off? Fack lol
can you use this device on game consoles - when you cannot download the app on those device?
You may be able to plug them in via aux but we would not recommend these for game consoles.
When using youtube music, the music won’t stop playing when taking the headset off. Anybody got a solution for this?
Hey is it still a problem ? I just bought these and they come in Saturday
Thank you for your video but your phone is running out of battery
Glad you liked it, thanks!
how can I read notifications by clicking on the button? whenever I click on it, all it does is activate or deactivate ANC and nothing else
You should be able to adjust settings in the Sony app.
@@AudioAdvice it says it's already set but what button is iy anyway??
Can you add white noise to the playback like you can with the AirPod pros?
Not that we know of, no.
After using a week I found my right side is tight but my left side ear joint becomes very loose..it doesn't cause me any comfort issue or something.. but it's very loose but my right side is still tight.. is it normal?
That is not normal. You should contact the dealer you purchased them from.
@@AudioAdvice okay I have given to the service centre today..
I have a problem with CZcams with Sony WZH 1000MX5. The headphone and my phone are connected but not working. Everything else is working fine. Any advice?
Thank you in advance
Odd problem, the connection is bluetooth so you would think it would not be app specific. Maybe reinstall the YT app or play around with its settings
, Yes it is odd problem. I tried to remove it and disabled it. Other video apps and music apps are working fine. Except for CZcams, it plays loudspeaker, not my headphones. Played around with the CZcams setting, but still no luck.
@@SuperSonny1952 I have the exact same problem, have you solved it?
+ can you turn off the sound when pausing playing voluimg etc.
?
@@AudioAdvice
@@tomkur7021 Nope. It seems to be no solution.
Hello .. I am a skinny guy with a narrow face and actually my xm5 fit perfectly with a medium fit on my ears .. but actually it is not tight and displaces slightly when I try to grab something on the ground . Is that normal that xm5 are a little loose.. ?
They do not have the strongest clamping force we've tried for headphones so that may be normal if you have a narrow face.
@@AudioAdvice 👍
Does anyone know how to fix Quick Attention mode? Every time I try it the headphones either pause the music or turn Siri on. It worked once but I can’t get it again 😔
Have you tried turning this feature off in the app?
How to use the headphones microphone to record a video?
That’s probably not possible.
but hwy not? is it apple tht blocks it? I can use the Microphone on a phone call, but I can't use it to record a video? That's insane.@@AudioAdvice
We said probably. Our focus is listening to music or enjoying home theater. If you purchased your Sony headphones from Audio Advice we would be happy to do some research and testing. Otherwise a google search might be your best bet. This could be what you are looking for. czcams.com/video/awW8HjOKbY0/video.htmlsi=0dPWaDVLuBjjMC2y
So there is only sound coming from the left side. Why won’t the right side work? I can hear the functions and noses when you tap on it. No play audio from the right side tho. I rest it like 6xs. Help plz.
You may want to see if they are still under warranty from Sony. We have not had that issue with any of ours.
Well I've had my mx5 for about 8 months now and I've just lost the sound from the right sided headphone and I've been advised by my mobile network to send them back to SONY as they are still under warranty.
thanks a lot for the video, don't forget to charge your phone! haha
You are welcome, thanks, haha
Can someone help me i just got mine and seems like active noise cancilation is not really working. It looks like I can still hear things like super properly. 😢
Have you connected to the Sony app to confirm? Try that first.
@Audio Advice yes I have read many forms, and I was guessing it could have been tha5 I need to go outside with it to check. It could be active noise canceling, which is not starting inside.
@@dhruvdev3418what
Hey guys can anyone tell me how to enable LDAC i have Sony xm5
Its a little tricky, you need an android phone and you have to get into the developer options to turn it on. Google search your phone and you should see the steps.
I am so confused. Mine is not working with raising the volume or moving back the song.
If you purchased your headphones from Audio Advice, please reach out and we can help you with this. Thanks for watching
Why the music is pause when I start sing along the music .. how to stop this ?
You will have to turn off voice recognition in the app.
I LOVE my new headphone...how do i turn them off
They will automatically turn off after not using them.
I don't get why you can't mute your mic on these! Otherwise great headphones, but it is a very important feature that is missing!!! WHY?
Interesting. That's a great point!
Contract Sony and ask them to include it on the next update ❤❤❤😊 lol
You haven't mentioned the missing sidetone feature that enables you to hear your own voice during a phone call
Please can you advise how to do this?
@@iankirk5875 no, because this feature is missing = it does not exist in those headphones.
My software screen does not look like yours. Cannot get to stop turning off
Sorry you are having trouble. If you purchased your WH-1000XM5 from Audio Advice, one of our techs would be happy to try and help you out.
I sing along to songs and the headphones consistently pause as it thinks I’m talking
That would happen.
Any way to turn it off damn that would suck lol
I’m getting mine today though as a birthday gift
Marvin Gaye album is 🔥
Thanks for sharing
I heard you mention Dolby Atmos but that isn't used on these headphones. The air pods max, and pro 2s use Dolby Atmos with spatial audio, these use 360 reality audio like you mentioned, this doesn't go along with Dolby Atmos.
What if the phone supports Dolby Atmos? I have headphones and when I do Dolby Atmos on my mobile it makes a difference in the sound
Swipe halfway through, and the music will start afresh.
Thanks for sharing!
You couldn't show how to adjust the headband to fit one's head? ...
It is so simple there is no need to.
Omg he's cute
Thanks for watching!
This guy isnt a rapper
I hate this thing.
Whenever I talk, it stops whatever I'm listening to for about 5 seconds and turns on ambient noise . . . . But the video or music keeps playing, I just can't hear it! There's no way to turn it off. So frustrating!
Never again, Sony!
Sorry to hear that!
Just picked up the earbuds.. why would you waste your time with anything else, especially beats
Glad you like them
Why is he built like that tho
Thanks for watching.
Don't buy them... the headbands break in under 12 months and Sony won't replace their poor engineering , instead they expect you to pay another 60% on the original purchase price to get an 'upgrade' .
Not to mention the other issues like, sound and mic dropping out mid call.. unit turns off even though fully charged... changing settings randomly and can only change it back on the app... go elsewhere.. Sony has created a really expensive disposable item
Damn 😅😅 I just got these as a gift today but look forward to have them as I’ve been using tiny Powerbeats pro
Lmfao tricks and tricks
These headphones have the WORST microphone you can image for making calls. Literally sounds like you are hiding in a bunker and trying to talk via 2 yogurt plastic cups and a rope. Don't buy if you ever think of talking on them. They do have great sound for JUST LISTENING TO MUSIC. Otherwise, avoid like the plague.
Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience with it! Thanks for sharing.
