    I’ve compared this product to Bose and Apple (QC 35, and pro max). These headphones come out on top, although by a surprisingly small margin. Unsurprisingly, Sony wins out on noise cancelling. A noisy plane, with a little bit of music, is completely drowned out. Fantastic for sleeping! Soundscape, this is largely subjective, but the area feels small.

      Hi Yeahthatsme, Awesome! We are glad to hear that you are happy with your new headphones! These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our noiseless design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl Sony_US

    It is a perfect entry level headphone for music lovers, the noise cancellation was perfect I couldn’t hear anything once it was on. It felt like I was in my own little world! And the ability to turn on ambience mode with just a touch of a finger without pulling out my phone is the cherry on top.

      Hi CSGamer,
      Thanks for the feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. We're glad to hear you're enjoying the high-quality sound and the impressive noise cancellation.

      However, we're really sorry to hear that you've had some issues, though. Having them stop working so soon is definitely not the experience we want for you and we also want to make sure you're comfortable with your headphones.

      To get this sorted out, please reach out to our support team. They'll be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and figure out what the best next steps are. You can locate their contact information here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      Thank you for considering Sony and for your feedback.

      Hi HeidyS,

      We are pleased to hear you find the WH-1000XM5 headphones to be a really comfortable pair! We apologize that you are experiencing struggles with the touch controls when skipping music, as the gesture controls should be consistently responsive. This issue can sometimes be caused by the Bluetooth signal quality, especially when the headphones are set to prioritize audio quality over a stable connection, so we recommend opening the Sony | Headphones Connect app and changing the setting to "Priority on Stable Connection" in the Sound tab. If the issue persists, please try restarting your playback device (phone/laptop) or performing a simple reset of the headphones (instructions are in the help guide) to clear any temporary glitches.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Eliab Sony_US

    The xm-5 appears to be made of cheaper plastic materials. Previous model sony headphones are stronger and more durable. I broke my pair of xm-5 within a few months just like a pair of beats headphones. I would prefer xm-4 for durability, sound quality is good enough.
