    These are very comfortable, I often forget that im wearing them and just get totally immersed in the high quality sound they produce. The hear through mode is also great, along with the call quality on both mobile and connected to my computer. The only thing I don't like is a feature in the app called spotify tap, personally I don't use spotify, and would like to see options for other music streaming services.

    Is Sony still the benchmark? Hmm....

    A few years ago I would leave an absolutely glowing review for these headphones but... we live in a different reality now. Companies like Edifier and 1MORE have headphones that cost 1/4 of this set's price and perform just as well (and in some cases better). Sony may still have the edge on ANC but if you value sound quality more than noise cancellation there are simply other, more interesting options out there that will save you A LOT of $$$.

    DO NOT BUY. There is a CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT again

    DO NOT BUY. there is a CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT against Sony for these headphones. These worked great for the first 12 months. but then the left hinge broke. For background I bought these for work and they stay at my desk. No travel just work calls on teams and some music. It seems crazy to me that they broke. I called Sony support and they clamed it was due to regular aware and tear and said it would be a min of 100 dollars to repair them plus shipping. I looked it up and this seems to break FTC laws. Shure enough I found a few class action lawsuits against Sony on this topic. https://classlawdc.com/2025/09/04/sony-wh-1000xm5-headphones-hinge-investigation/
