I upgraded my XM3s to XM5s recently and the two buttons on the left have shifted marginally so that I usually press the wrong button after several years of muscle memory. I've also got the in-ear equivalents of the XM3 which have the touch surfaces right in the place where you need to hold them to adjust them in your ear, which almost always results in accidentally playing/pausing or cycling through the various modes.Alan wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 12:33 pmHeadphone button placement. Can we just get some sort of committee to standardise it? XM4s power buttons on the left, Steel Series its on the right for example. It breaks my brain. Yes it might be easily broken but have some sympathy. Also can said committee outlaw swipe controls? Theres no world a button isnt better than swooshing your finger up and down your bloody ear! Microsoft and Apple have come up with very nice ways of controlling volume if you dont like buttons but stop the bloody swipe garbage!
To be fair, I do use the swipe gestures on the over-ear headphones, but I've never got them to work as intended on the in-ears. Terrible design.
