Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love these headphones. They sound better than my older pair of Bose headphones. Just wish they made them with a better material around the ear that had moisture wicking material. I use them when I mow and I tend to sweat and they slide off at times.

Skip Sony - go for Bose
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I regret this purchase each time I hop on a Teams call. They were originally purchased to replace my older Bose headphones, which has a weak battery. But all I hear is the noise around me, and it won't sit well on my head. I had high expectations for the Sonys, but the noise cancellation feature is far from spectacular - especially at this price point. It's also a pain to connect with Bluetooth and takes more time to charge. Back to the Bose. I've learned my lesson. Never again.

Posted .Hi tigershep,
We sincerely apologize that the WH-1000XM5 headphones have not met your expectations, particularly regarding their fit and performance during Teams calls. The issue of hearing excessive noise during calls is common when conferencing apps force the headphones into a lower-quality Bluetooth mode (HFP); we recommend manually checking your PC's sound settings to ensure the "Headset (WH-1000XM5 Hands-Free)" profile is selected before joining a call. Regarding the fit, ensure you gently adjust the headband sliders so the earcups achieve a complete seal around your ears, as this is crucial for optimal noise cancellation performance.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Favorite headphones
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned a lot of different earbuds and headphones. I’ve got to say though, my favorite are the Sony xm5’s. They feel super comfortable and the noise cancellation is the best I’ve had so far. I did like how the xm4’s folded but that being said it’s really not a big deal. Though I really like Bose, I believe Sony offers better noise cancellation than the 700’s and includes more features for usage, plus the sound quality is incredible as well!
