Customer Ratings & Reviews

Thank you for your wonderful review, LilBeauty!

We are truly delighted to hear that your son loves his new WH-1000XM5 headphones. It brings us great joy to know they were a hit for Christmas and are perfect for both his school and gaming needs. We designed these headphones with industry-leading noise cancellation, powered by our integrated processors and eight microphones, to ensure he gets exceptional sound and call quality for studying.

It’s also a fantastic choice for gaming! The immersive audio and spatial sound technology are designed to make every game come alive, providing a truly engaging experience. We hope he enjoys every moment with them.

Thanks again for choosing Sony for such an important gift.

Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones, IsaiahP. We appreciate your honest review regarding both the sound quality and comfortability.

Regarding the sound quality, the WH-1000XM5 headphones offer a high-standard audio experience, particularly considering the price point. The headphones feature different sound quality modes during Bluetooth playback, which can be adjusted using the "Sony | Headphones Connect" app. You can choose between the "Priority on sound quality" mode, which prioritizes audio fidelity, and the "Priority on stable connection" mode, which ensures a more stable wireless connection depending on your environment.

Regarding comfortability, we regret to hear that the headband padding and ear pads did not meet your expectations. The headband on the WH-1000XM5 indeed has padding, but feedback like yours may help us improve future models. This aspect is something we continually look into to provide a better user experience.

Your detailed input aids us in better understanding customer needs and enhancing product designs.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for choosing us.
