    Sounds quality is what you'd expect for the price. Sadly however, the comfortability was not. Headband does not have much padding and ear pads are pretty standard.

      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.

    My son chose these headphones after comparing the comfort of the fit and the quality of the sound against other headphones displayed in the store. When he tried them at home, he was not disappointed. He commented on how it was like being on the front row at a concert when listening to music.

      Hello AmandaS,

      Thank you for considering Sony products.

      We are truly sorry to hear about the trouble you've experienced with the hinge on your WH-1000XM5 headphones. It is disheartening to learn that such a physical issue has interrupted your enjoyment of the great sound quality you've come to expect from us. We certainly understand how frustrating it is to deal with a recurring break, especially after your efforts to resolve it yourself.

      To ensure your headphones are restored correctly, we recommend taking the unit to an authorized repair service. Although warranty protection is generally limited to manufacturing defects and does not include accidental damage, we want to help you as much as possible. Please consider contacting our authorized repair partner, Encompass, for repair options that may be more affordable: https://sony.encompass.com/item/15214669/Sony/WH1000XM5-HBR/. We hope this can help you get back to enjoying your headphones.

      Best regards,
