Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought these headphones two weeks ago and without a doubt this is the best set of headphones I have ever used. I wear eyeglasses and one of the biggest issues I have had with most headphones is that they are not comfortable when wearing eyeglasses. These fit great and don't push the ears of the glasses into my head when wearing them. The noise cancelling is great. WIthout listening to music or watching a show, it cancels or muffles most sounds that are of average volume. Listening to music with the noise cancelling active eliminates everything. Which is great for me as there are certain sounds that drive me nuts, especially when someone is blasting their music outside of my apartment. Another great aspect to these is that the sound doesn't bleed out. Granted I haven't tried listening to my music at full blast but my wife can't hear my music when I have these on. The battery life is excellent as well. Depending on the volume used, I've had the battery last over 40 hours. I like the carrying case as it will help decrease the wear and tear when I take these into the office. It is a bit on the larger side but not enough to be a nuisance or problem. All in all this is definitely worth the price tag.

"Sony WH1000XM5 delivers exceptional sound clarity and industry-leading noise cancellation. Comfortable design and long battery life make them perfect for travel and work. Experience immersive audio like never before."

I am all about the built in codecs as an audiophile. This headset might not be as power punching with the bass but it is enough to satisfy a bass loving person like me. As far as listening to Tidal (best audio formats) or Apple music app or any Dolby Atmos shows from any app like Netflix or Prime, this headset kills the competition. It has the availability to cuntomize your EQ through the Sony headset app and fine tune to your ear shape as well. This is my go to headset for everything, even Zoom, Microsoft Teams meetings as well thanks to noise cancelation which gets an 8 out 20 for me. I am in medical and we have a lot of noise coming from everywhere and this headsets work really good. Don’t get me going on the battery life, it’s amazing and lasts for days since I only use it for about 1-3 hours daily.

These are amazing! The sound quality is really nice and they never hurt my head even after hours of wear. The battery life is also wonderful and the app is great. Love these.

These headphones are privy. $399 isn’t a joke. However, it’s worth it to me because I use my headphones for 5+ hours a day. They practically live on my head/neck. I already had the XM4 which had some of the best noise cancelling on the market and these just push that forward. The first thing I noticed was the comfort. These felt like literal pillows on my head. You should try these out, because my description won’t do it justice. These are so comfortable. The second thing I noticed… The noise cancellation is noticeably better. The XM4 were already great, but these are even better. They are more effective at completely blocking out undesired sounds. It’s surreal to be able to walk through normally loud places and hear nothing. The third thing I noticed… The sound EQ and Quality is refined. Previously I had to do heavy adjustments to the EQ because Sony made them heavier on the bass. Now they feel much better straight out of the box. Now, the last thing… these don’t fold. The XM4 fold. A lot of people see that as an issue, but I don’t. The reason for that is two-fold. First of all, one of the major failure points on the XM4/3 units was the hinge. It had the potential to snap after many uses. These don’t have those hinges, so they’re that’s one major point that’s less likely to break. The other reason I don’t mind is because the case isn’t that big. I can still easily fit these in my backpack and now I don’t have to constantly fold and unfold these when I want to put these away. I would highly recommend you pick these headphones up if you’re looking for the best of the best. Anybody who uses these daily will find every cent worth it.

Bought this 2022 and 3 years later they still work the same as when I bought them. The noise canceling is my favorite part. It’s very light weight which I love makes it very comfortable to wear. 100% recommend you get these they are amazing. Battery life is still good 3 years later.

at first i was really scared that i wasted a lot of money and should have bought something cheaper. but over time the fact that i don’t think of the headphones in any other way than “where are they” is so impressive to me, especially coming from the airpods pro. cons - the black ones get hella greasy. but maybe that’s a me problem. maybe i’m the nasty one here. - soft plastic: i got a tiny scratch in the first week of using them. i freaked out. i’ve been extremely careful ever since but i guess i wish they weren’t so soft - app is kinda weird UI imo and i hated the way the two devices would sync up. sometimes when actively using my computer, it would switch to my phone for no reason. i turned it off but it’s not that big of a deal for me to not have two devices at once - i went to do some laundry a couple hundred feet away and the connection was kind of bad, but i honestly haven’t experimented more with it pros - lightweight: i wear glasses and can wear these all day with no problem - sound is amazing, especially after tweaking the EQ - the noise cancellation is great (keep in mind compared to airpods pro) - i love the gesture of holding your hand up to the right side to hear something - they look lovely - the battery is stupid good, i literally have not had them die since i got them because it takes 10/15 min to charge and they’re back on full do i wish they were cheaper? duh. do i regret buying them for 400$? no. i feel like they will last long enough to be worth it :)

Hello, I have returned and it is time for me to give my review of the wh1000xm5 in the blue color that I bought at my local Best Buy that looks awesome. After they remodeled it the Woodland Hills One to begin with if you're looking for a set of over their ear headphones that will clear out any noise and make it as quiet as possible. Then you're in the right place. Not only are these headphones very very comfortable with their vegan leather material, but they fit on the head like a glove they offer the same battery life as the previous model at 30 hours. But you want the best and noise canceling and comfort you're in the right place the Sony headphones here or everything you need the app offers you a lot of ways to customize your sound profile and everything. You need go ahead and buy them while you can now that today is the last day of the Black Friday deals at 329 with a $70 discount. What more could you want buy them? I recommend them they are truly amazing.

Phenomenal headphones, ANC, noise isolation, pass through mode, comfort, battery life. These headphones are worth it

I have the older version i.e. M4 and thoroughly enjoyed it until it lost it in a travel. M5 has outstanding the audio quality and noise cancellation. The device feels light and soft on ears. Also the controls are easy to use. clear tunes and good bass. I would definitely recommend it. Only con is, its over priced. I would have waited for sale given holidays are just around the corner. :-)

The sound is great for pair of bluetooth headphones! Of course you have to tweek the EQ settings for best results in the Sony Connect app! I love the touch controls, so much easier than finding the buttons on other headphones. There are some buttons on the xm5, a power and a noise cancelling/ ambient button. It has great call quality. The battery last a long time. I get exactly what they said, about 30 hours of battery life. They fit nicely and are comfortable. I do think durability might be an issue if you dont keep good care of them. They do NOT fold up! The headphones come with a case and wire and charging cable. These really do sound better than the xm4s which i also have and the Noise cancelling is better as well. I also want to say, if you listen through the wire it might sound terrible unless you power them on while you listen. You can still use noise cancelling and the battery will last longer if you do it that way instead of normal bluetooth usage!

I spent ages trying to find quality headphones that were worth committing to for me. These headphones are comfortable, lightweight, have great sound, and the noise cancellation is incredible. The battery life is a dream too—I’m a college student and I use these for hours every day. The app for these headphones is also super user-friendly and offers cool features. 11/10!

I had the XM4 and thought this would an upgrade and it was as far as the noise canceling and software, but for the overall fit and also the portability this is where they differ. I tried this in the gym and they would not stay on my head and after a week i realized theses may not be for the gym like the XM4's were. I had them on plane rides and they worked wonders as far as the noise canceling is concerned i could not hear anything for the most part. I had a window seat and i leaned onto the window and they moved which caused me to adjust and due to the flight distance i had to find a position that would work, so the headphones would stay were they were to provide me the peace and quiet that i was looking for. The battery life was terrific as i never had an issue with especially get notified that you need to charge them. Also not folding to be more compact was an issues as well. Overall they are good headphones but with minor things i did not care for. PROS: -software amazing -noise canceling top notch -battery life -very stylish CONS: -not a secure on my head as the X4 -kept sliding off my head when i would transition exercises -not a compact as previous version

These are the best headphones for the price on the market. Noice canceling is superb, while still keeping the weight down and remaining comfortable. I use them at the gym and they don’t fall off. The battery last a very long time. Sound quality is the best I’ve ever heard.

Had for a year and a half now. I do use them bass heavy but have a slight ting in the left driver. Warranty is out, and at the price of repair I will not be doing that. I take the best possible care of these considering it is the most expensive headphone I have ever purchased. Kind of disappointed on the fact considering the price of these. They are my favorite headphones though, I’ve tried many Bose and others. These have a warm sound and can have heavy bass when using the EQ settings. The ability for the NC to adjust based on your actions is fantastic, multipoint is great. They are a little big on me, I use the fully enclosed and they hurt the top of my head after a while. Also could clamp a little harder but this is different for everyone’s head. These are the best you can buy in this range but with a one year warranty I will not be buying more.

The Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds offer exceptional noise-cancellation, with industry-leading performance that effectively blocks out external sounds. They deliver impressive sound quality with deep bass and clear highs, thanks to the custom V1 processor. The design is comfortable and secure, and the battery life is strong, providing up to 8 hours of playback with noise-cancelling on. The touch controls are intuitive, though some may find the initial setup slightly complex. Overall, these earbuds are a top choice for those seeking premium sound and noise-cancellation features.

I was looking for great noise canceling headphones and at first bought Beats. However, I got bad ones and they didn't work. But I realized I didn't like the way they felt on my head and researched more. I found these and I really like them. They are very comfortable. They help me considerate when working. They last VERY long! Probably the longest out there. I love watching movies in my bedroom with them on. They come with an app where you can adjust things the way you like them. I had to figure out how to stop them from cutting off when I was singing because it thought I was talking to someone lol also I like how you can have it connect to multiple devices at once. So I can switch between my imac and iphone when I need to. Calls are great on them. They don't always switch over but everyone can hear me clearly and the calls are clear. I highly recommend. My only suggestion is MAKE SOME PINK ONES! hahaha no seriously, get them you wont be disappointed.

Best headphones I have owned so far. Have used Bose previous to these. Comparable, but the quality on the sound is notably better with these when listening closely. The battery life is also exceptional; I rarely have to think of charging it, & when I do it charges rapidly! The case is built well although slightly large considering the over ear style. Would recommend

I purchased these to replace my AirPods because in ear headphones just want to fall out of my ears and they are uncomfortable for me. These have been an excellent alternative and are incredibly comfortable over my ears. The noise cancellation while on a plane was excellent quality. I also like that I can make these a plug into a jack so when on a plane you can use their jacks if you want to watch in flight entertainment instead of having to purchase an add on. The charge lasts forever and they have been holding a charge for long periods of not using them. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and highly recommend them to anyone looking for similar.

I bought these headphones for my boyfriend for Christmas last year and he LOVES them. I fell in love them them too, so much so that I bought a pair for myself! The sound, is crystal clear, and full and the headphones are soooo light and cozy, yet dont slip at all. We can both wear them for hours and totally forget we have them on.
