||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a nice pair of over the ear headphones when these caught my eye. I think apart from the sound quality, the design is a nice form and not too bulky. As soon as I put them on the first time, the first thing was the bass response. Overall sound is tight, punchy and articulate.

bessttttt headphones
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I have ever used. They are comfy, sleek, and very much noise cancelling. I put them on sometimes even without music just to block out noise and they are perfect. Not to mention the sound. The sound on these is heaven, it amplifies the noise in a way no other headphones can compare. It’s 100% worth the price

Excellent Noise Cancelling, Sound Quality 30h Batt
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are by far, the best noise cancellation in the world. The active feature continually adjusts the environment and dials in the cancelling. My ears are in heaven. Use on the airplane, and it's 30hr battery make international travel so comfortable. My last set of Sony NC headphones lasted over 10 years and are still going. DONT THINK ABOUT IT...BUY THESE oh...the sound AMAZING. Also, if the battery ever dies...they STILL WORK as wired headphone.

Worth it...
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At this price you'd expect to get a certain level of sound quality and these Sony's deliver. Battery life comfort user friendly in every aspect. Best of all is the sound. The detail is incredible no booming bass or mind numbing highs. Crisp detailed sound best describes these things. Give them a listen you won't regret it.

Amazing headphones, just buy em
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely amazing headphones. The noise cancelling is almost otherworldly. I walked through a busy airport and I could not hear a thing other than my music. They're also comfortable and the batteries last awhile. I'm no audiophile but the audio quality is very good, the best I've personally tried.

Posted .Hi KyleG,
We are ecstatic to learn that your WH-1000XM5 headphones provided such an "otherworldly" experience during your travels! It is wonderful to hear that the noise canceling allowed you to enjoy your music in peace amidst the airport bustle, all while staying comfortable throughout your journey.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Maybe little expensive

Posted .Hi AmmadN,
We are sorry to hear that the fit of your WH-1000XM5 feels loose and heavy. To ensure a more secure feel, we recommend extending the sliders fully before putting them on and then adjusting them until the headband rests softly on the top of your head, which helps distribute the weight more evenly and stabilizes the earcups. Since these headphones feature a "soft-fit" leather and a lightweight design, finding that specific "sweet spot" with the slider length is key to preventing them from shifting while you move.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
Nice sound quality, good battery.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got them for flying, but now using them at the desk when working a lot. Battery life is great, Type C charging is a big plus, App for Android works 100% of the time, and have had not issues switching audio from a laptop, Desktop and phone! Noise canceling is great hear almost no plane noise, and the audio still sounds great. Placing a hand over the right ear will turn on ambient sound, thought that was lame but turns out to be very nice to have.

Foam is very soft, sony’s sound is always great. Double tap functions so you can hear who you talking to or around you. Sometimes Its not always what is in and buy that name,… but you just have to trust the best brands ever existed since day 1. And sony is always been on top of the bestest.

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound with these headphones. There is more technology in these headphones than i will ever use. I had Bose headphones for years. The ear padding wore out so i purchased the Sony headphones. The difference between them is like, the Bose are like driving a Lexus. The Sony is like driving a BMW. Both excellent but the Sony has a bit more power in the sound.

With up to 30 hours of battery life, you'll have enough power even for long trips; and with their modern and lightweight design, they fit snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sound because of the amazing Noise Cancelling feature!
Thank you for choosing Sony, have a great day!

Review of Sony Noise cancelling headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for a trip to Europe. They cut the engine noise on the 12 hour flights by about 80 percent. For an extra $100 I'm sure the next step up would cut more. But these are fine.
