Sony Headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought with the intent to use with my TV. However, I also use them for work use with Microsoft Teams and it pairs with my iPhone too, as it has a built in microphone. It doesn’t completely block all of the surrounding sound, so if anyone buys it with that expectation, it was not intended to do that. However, it blocks out the majority and makes listening to your favorite show or movie even better!

Earcup Size
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love these headphones. The only reason preventing me from giving it 5 stars is that I wish that the ear cups were bigger (like the Airpods Max). It starts to get uncomfortable after using it for an extended period of time.

Posted .Hi Marc,
Thanks for your feedback! We're glad you love the headphones overall. We understand that comfort is important and we appreciate your suggestion about the ear cups. We'll definitely take that into consideration for future improvements.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Great but not greater
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality, noise canceling, and connectiveness. I was dissapointed that the 360 Spacial Sound is only available when using specific apps (read addional subscription fees). I don't know if they are worth the money over other Sony or Apple products

Posted .Hi Kris, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH-1000XM5 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.

Don't Recommend - Poor QC and Customer Service
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality control on this is abysmal. Within a few months of owning, they snapped at the hinges. I can not longer wear them, as the headphone just dangles off when I try to put them on. I took very good care of them, didn't work out in them, and only ever transported the headphones in their provided case. Look online, and you will see that snapping at the hinge is a common problem. Despite only owning them for a few months, and the fact that they snapped out of the blue while I was wearing them, Sony refused to help. They claimed their warranty doesn't cover "accidental or physical damage". This is a known problem, and I am so disappointed with how Sony handled this. I am now out several hundred dollars. I wouldn't recommend this product until they get their QC under control (or at least until their warranty actually covers anything...).
