Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased these headphones as a replacement for BOSE. What a world of difference. The sound is crisp and clear with zero interference. Making phone calls results in clear, easy to understand communications. The headphones are light, comfortable and easy to wear. Battery life is also a plus.

They don't beat a Sennheiser wired headphone, but for a wireless set, they have excellent sound quality, good battery life, amazing extra features (like the ability to make adjustments with finger touches on the outside casing) and are very comfortable. They have never lost a connection with my phone, and do a good job in both ambient sound mode and with noise cancellation. My two quibble with these headphones are that in terms of noise cancellation, they are not as good as Bose headsets that I have had in the past, and that for what you get from Sony, they are actually a little pricey. I have an earbud set (off-brand) that gets you most of these features for 1/3 the price, The WH-1000XM5 also has a wired mode, that I have never needed or tried, but it's cool that it's there. The zippered carry case come with the set, and it's nice for use inside backpacks or suitcases, but won't hold up by itself for heavy travel. You will appreciate the quality level of the build and they have been decent at the gym as long as you aren't kickboxing or turning upside down a lot. Overall, worth getting if you need an over the ear set, but not if you just need a basic wireless headset.

at first i was really scared that i wasted a lot of money and should have bought something cheaper. but over time the fact that i don’t think of the headphones in any other way than “where are they” is so impressive to me, especially coming from the airpods pro. cons - the black ones get hella greasy. but maybe that’s a me problem. maybe i’m the nasty one here. - soft plastic: i got a tiny scratch in the first week of using them. i freaked out. i’ve been extremely careful ever since but i guess i wish they weren’t so soft - app is kinda weird UI imo and i hated the way the two devices would sync up. sometimes when actively using my computer, it would switch to my phone for no reason. i turned it off but it’s not that big of a deal for me to not have two devices at once - i went to do some laundry a couple hundred feet away and the connection was kind of bad, but i honestly haven’t experimented more with it pros - lightweight: i wear glasses and can wear these all day with no problem - sound is amazing, especially after tweaking the EQ - the noise cancellation is great (keep in mind compared to airpods pro) - i love the gesture of holding your hand up to the right side to hear something - they look lovely - the battery is stupid good, i literally have not had them die since i got them because it takes 10/15 min to charge and they’re back on full do i wish they were cheaper? duh. do i regret buying them for 400$? no. i feel like they will last long enough to be worth it :)

I bought these headphones two weeks ago and without a doubt this is the best set of headphones I have ever used. I wear eyeglasses and one of the biggest issues I have had with most headphones is that they are not comfortable when wearing eyeglasses. These fit great and don't push the ears of the glasses into my head when wearing them. The noise cancelling is great. WIthout listening to music or watching a show, it cancels or muffles most sounds that are of average volume. Listening to music with the noise cancelling active eliminates everything. Which is great for me as there are certain sounds that drive me nuts, especially when someone is blasting their music outside of my apartment. Another great aspect to these is that the sound doesn't bleed out. Granted I haven't tried listening to my music at full blast but my wife can't hear my music when I have these on. The battery life is excellent as well. Depending on the volume used, I've had the battery last over 40 hours. I like the carrying case as it will help decrease the wear and tear when I take these into the office. It is a bit on the larger side but not enough to be a nuisance or problem. All in all this is definitely worth the price tag.

Compared to other headphones, this is not heavy. It is every handy and classy when in use. I love the way how it looks and really helped in my long travel. I was able to sleep in longer hours without interrupted by any noise.

My son is hard on his headphones and he uses them most of the day. These were the perfect replacement for his previous ones. Great sound quality, durable and comfortable to wear. My son is very happy with these headphones.

My son loves them! Super long battery life and charge quickly. He like the sound quality as well. He had originally purchased these to use with his computer when he was making music, but there was a lag since it is wireless. Other than that, they are awesome!

These sound Amazing, have had them over a year now. Love how comfortable they feel, took maintain them new I purchased some silicone cups to cover them so I can use them while I workout. Best headset I've had and I've gone through dozens thus far. Thes battery last me days and I use them for my remote job on Zoom calls.

Sony always delivers when it comes to sound. However these are really good noise canceling once. I have been looking for new pair since my bose 700 gotten older and these are perfect. These are pretty comfortable and stylish too.

Great set of headphones for daily wearing. I enjoy the comfort and can wear them for extended periods of time without getting ear fatigue. The sound is incredible when comparing them to my Beats Studio 3s and AirPods Pro. I would strongly recommend these headphones for anyone in the market looking for quality, noise cancelling, and comfort headphones. The battery life is incredible and they are also great for podcasts/movies if you tend to travel frequently. Don’t think just buy them! You won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been using the Sony WH‑1000XM5 for the past few weeks—and wow, I’m totally impressed. From the moment I put them on, the noise cancellation kicked in and transformed my daily commute into a peaceful escape. These are easily some of the best noise‑canceling headphones I’ve ever tried What really stands out: • Top-tier ANC performance – Whether it’s city traffic, airplane engines, or office chatter, the XM5’s adaptive noise cancellation shuts out everything with impressive efficiency • Incredible sound quality – The 30 mm carbon fiber drivers deliver a warm, engaging sound stage—bass is punchy, highs are crisp, and vocal clarity is excellent • Smart and intuitive app features – The Sony Headphones app offers graphic EQ, 360 Reality Audio, multipoint pairing, and automatic noise‑cancel optimization—features I actually use and love (). • Comfort for long wear – Despite a sleeker headband design, these stay plush and stable for hours—ideal for traveling or working at home • Excellent voice calls – With Precise Voice Pickup and AI-powered mics, I’ve made crystal-clear calls—even in windy outdoor settings • Long battery life + fast charge – I consistently get around 30 hours with ANC on (40 hours with it off), and a 3‑minute USB‑PD charge gives me ~3 hours of playback These cans are a truly premium experience. Yes, they don’t fold up like some models and they’re on the pricey side—but for unmatched ANC, rich sound, and daily convenience, they’re worth every penny.

Love!!!!! Took them to my trip had no noise during my plane ride, super comfortable, long battery life.

Really comfortable wear excellent battery life amazing noise, cancellation

They’re very comfortable I love them they just don’t fold down and I travel a lot. But the comfort is amazing and their technology is so good. It adjusts noise cancelation automatically. I loved it

I had and used the Sony XM-4 for years, loved those headphones and didn’t think they could be one up’ed, oh was I wrong. The Sony XM-5’s are even better is every way. Comfort, noise cancellation, battery life, ease of use! Would reccomend these to anyone!

I spent ages trying to find quality headphones that were worth committing to for me. These headphones are comfortable, lightweight, have great sound, and the noise cancellation is incredible. The battery life is a dream too—I’m a college student and I use these for hours every day. The app for these headphones is also super user-friendly and offers cool features. 11/10!

Sure! Here’s a well-crafted customer comment: “I’ve tried many high-end headphones, but the Sony WH-1000XM5 is simply on another level! The sound quality is phenomenal, with deep bass, clear vocals, and incredible detail. The noise cancellation is the best I’ve experienced, completely blocking out distractions. Plus, they’re lightweight and super comfortable, even for long hours. Battery life is amazing, and the quick charge feature is a lifesaver. Absolutely worth every penny—Sony has outdone itself!”

I have the older version i.e. M4 and thoroughly enjoyed it until it lost it in a travel. M5 has outstanding the audio quality and noise cancellation. The device feels light and soft on ears. Also the controls are easy to use. clear tunes and good bass. I would definitely recommend it. Only con is, its over priced. I would have waited for sale given holidays are just around the corner. :-)

Hello, I have returned and it is time for me to give my review of the wh1000xm5 in the blue color that I bought at my local Best Buy that looks awesome. After they remodeled it the Woodland Hills One to begin with if you're looking for a set of over their ear headphones that will clear out any noise and make it as quiet as possible. Then you're in the right place. Not only are these headphones very very comfortable with their vegan leather material, but they fit on the head like a glove they offer the same battery life as the previous model at 30 hours. But you want the best and noise canceling and comfort you're in the right place the Sony headphones here or everything you need the app offers you a lot of ways to customize your sound profile and everything. You need go ahead and buy them while you can now that today is the last day of the Black Friday deals at 329 with a $70 discount. What more could you want buy them? I recommend them they are truly amazing.

I bought the Sony WH-1000XM5 as a gift because I already have a pair and really love them. The sound quality is excellent, and they are very comfortable to wear. I can use mine for an entire work shift without any problems. They feel premium, sound great, and make a really nice gift. I definitely recommend them if you want high-quality headphones that are comfortable for long hours.
