Replacing my XM4s
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A family member wanted to keep my XM4s, especially since they are using them to help them study through college. So I decided to get the XM5s on sale and they are just as good, if not better than the XM4s. The headphones sound great and aesthetically pleasing. I wouldn't necessarily upgrade from the XM4, but if you don't have either, go ahead and grab the XM5. You won't regret it!

Great Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. And I bought them from Best Buy and not Amazon because Best Buy had this Sony headphone, the previous Sony model, and the several other makes all connected to their headphone station which allowed me to try every model on that I was interested in.

Incompatible with Apple and PS5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The problem I have with these headphones is that they don’t connect with the PlayStation Bluetooth. Both Sony products and I feel this is very inconvenient. There is also no way to find them with an Apple product

Posted .Hi Cisco,
Thanks for posting your feedback on the WH1000XM5 headphones!
We understand and appreciate your frustration with these specific issues, especially as they relate to other Sony and Apple products. You've brought up two very important points, and here is some information on each:
1) PlayStation Bluetooth Connectivity: The WH-1000XM5 headphones do not support a direct Bluetooth connection with the PlayStation console. While they are both Sony products, PlayStation consoles are designed to use their own proprietary wireless connection for controllers and dedicated gaming headsets (such as the INZONE or PULSE series) to ensure a stable, low-latency audio experience crucial for gaming. As a workaround, many users have success using the included 3.5mm audio cable to connect the headphones directly to the PlayStation controller.
2) "Find My" Feature with Apple Products: The WH-1000XM5 does not support Apple's "Find My" network. However, we do offer a similar feature within the Sony | Headphones Connect app. This "Find device" feature can help you locate the headphones if they are connected to your phone and within a short range.
We understand these limitations can be inconvenient, and we sincerely appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Your feedback is very valuable to our product development teams as we continue to improve our products and user experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony North America.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are a true upgrade from the XM4s in every way; though the question remains of how significant of an upgrade? The sound quality and isolation is amazing. Not quite at the Airpod Max level - but impressive nonetheless! The touch controls on the right ear up by itself makes these an intriguing option to consider when looking for a high quality, excellent sounding pair of headphones! I’m glad to have received these over the holidays!

Amazing sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love sonys always have. Even over bose. I had the xm3 and just bought the xm5s. Way better noise cancelling that i love the most and the call quality is perfect. I took a phone call with lawnmower noise in the backtound and my sister said she could hear me perfect and clear. So two thumbs up for that. Lasty the sound quality is amazing as expected like my xm3s. So five stars for sure.
