    Great Headphones Minor Annoyances

    I like the headphones. The sound quality and customizability with the EQ is good. ANC is also amazing. The only complaints that I have are that the ear cups make my ears sweat and it’s not really comfortable for extended use. The touch controls are also not my favorite because if I accidentally touch the side then the whole song is interrupted. Overall tho the headphones are great.

      Hi JaideepL,

      Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear that you like the sound quality and equalizer of the headphones. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Best sound quality and noise cancellation headphones on the market. Far better than Bose and apple. On top of that, these headphones have the most comfort out of the three. Wore these for school for studying and never had head fatigue

    Great sound as you would expect from Sony! Noise cancelling is not full proof but it works. Battery stays charged a good amount of time. Best of all, if you get the protection from Best Buy, they will deal with it directly unlike beats where you have to go to the dreaded apple store. I personally think it has better sound quality than beats.

    The sound quality is perfect and the EQ is amazing. The sound is better than the Airpods Max for sure. The battery life is amazing as well. Standby battery use is also good, so I don't have to turn the headphones off every single time I take them off my head as they don't burn any battery. I would recommend these 100%.
