    Surprisingly great headphones. Got a wierd sound when i was talking while wearing my headphones and found out that it minimizes sounds while i talk so i can hear people responding. That was an awesome feature i didnt know was there.

      Hi TanishkaK, it's great to hear that you appreciate the feel and sound quality. However, I'm sorry to hear that they sometimes cause headaches. Please make sure that the headphones are not too tight. Sometimes, adjusting the headband or the position of the ear cups can make a significant difference. If you are using the headphones for extended periods, try taking short breaks to give your ears and head some rest.

    Amazing noise cancellation with very cool features on the app. Great price and as an employee with a store discount even better!! Only downside to it is for exercising it can be annoying to have on a little as its more fit for relaxing comfort.

      Hi Nick, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WH1000XM5. We're glad to hear you like the amazing noise cancellation and cool new features of the app. While the XM5 headphones are primarily designed for immersive listening experience, we understand that they may not be the ideal choice for intense physical activities. At Sony, we are always looking to improve our product quality and features. We have noted your input and will be sure to forward this feedback to the appropriate department.

      Hello NikaM,
      While we're happy that you are satisfied with the noise canceling feature and comfortability of our XM5, we're sorry to hear that you are having issues like the unit shuts off by itself while using it. This is not the news we want to hear. Please allow us to help. If the headphone shuts off in the middle of using it, you may not be wearing it properly.

      Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can check:
      - When you wear the headset over a cap, cloth, a scarf, hair, etc., wearing detection may not work properly. The automatic power off function may trigger and the headset may be turned off automatically. Wear the headset so that your ears are inside the earpads.
      - When the automatic power off function is set to [Do not turn off] on the [System] tab of the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, wearing detection will continue to work and the symptom may be improved.
      - Make sure the battery is fully charged.


      Should you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

      Name:
