Incredible purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling with these is absolutely incredible. I cannot hear anything when I am listening to music, even when on a mower or in a loud environment. Only issue that I have had is when it self switches between noise canceling and ambient, sometimes it gets confused by the wind if I am outside. But inside I have had 0 issues with that. Sound is very customizable as well. Seem very durable so far as well.

Worth the leap of faith
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great low end. ANC works great, especially on flights. Good battery life. Charges using USB-C cable. Much better than my old BeatsStudio Wireless or Powerbeats Pro (still best for work calls). So glad I took the leap of faith over Bose. Bose can claim top ANC but I'd rather have better sound with very good ANC and enjoy music and movies wearing a smile on the plane.

Not sure it's worth the upgrade, but still good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second purchase of the Sony WH-1000 headphones. I bought the XM4 and really like them, so took the plunge for the upgrade. I'm not sure I see a big difference in the new one, but it still sounds great. Maybe a little lighter than the XM4. If you like top-notch headphones, these will definitelu fit the bill.

Great Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reason I didnt give it a full five was because of the sony app you need to download to change a few things on your headphones. An example of this would be the speech detection, I woul talk and audio would cut off, so overall you could talk and listen at the same time. Unless of course you changed it in the app. Nonetheless its a great product, amazing audio and are comfortable around the ear!

Great sound quality and comfort
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality and super comfortable for over-the-ear headphones. I wish they made cooking earpieces for them on release, that’s the only thing I would change. I use these to study in order to focus, and they’re comfortable enough to walk with outside as well. So far the connectivity seems pretty seamless.

Worth the wait, money and the hype! Get these!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding. I've had, and consequently compared these Headphones to the Bowers and Wilkins PX7's, the older Sony 1000MX3's and Jabra Elite 85t's and the Sony's Noice Cancelling is superfluous. No question. The deep bass, the rich treble/highs makes listening to everything from 2Pac to Enya, to Nelly a choice experience. The phone/bluetooth quality is outstanding. I refuse to take a call on any other headset that I own than these Sony WH-1000MX5's!!
