Customer Ratings & Reviews

Phenomenal!! Wow! Feels like a stereo system, download the app if you purchase this. Its a quick download, fine tune the sound then never touch the app again. I bring these to the gym I jog with these, jump road I punch punching bags. If theres an upgraded version of this headphone set i am going to purchase. Sony does everything so much better than Samsung and apple. My 1 complaint is I sing, or yell with these on at the gym so the headohones auto pause to listen to my surrounding. I'm sure I can tweak the app to get rid of that but the voice commands work extremely well its easy to talk to others too. I do blast my music but i make sure i don't risk hearing damage. If you blast headphones, no longer than 15 minute's for your ears, if you listen at a balanced level then you'll go for hours. Do not let moistures or sweat/ rain touch these headphones theyre Exspensive and Great quality. Better gym headphone are bone conduction headphones that wrap around your neck a little

Best headphones available for the price. Incredible sound and battery life. Very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time

I’ve been using the Sony WH-1000XM5s for a bit now and I seriously love them. The sound is super clean, the bass feels really good, and the noise canceling is actually insane. They’re crazy comfortable too, so I can wear them for hours without even thinking about it. Plus the battery lasts forever and they switch between my devices without me doing anything. Honestly, they just make everything I listen to sound better. I’m really glad I got them.

Very well built and premium quality headphones. Strong bass and and great battery life. Super comfortable and love it comes works via bluetooth and aux cable. I dont get disconnected via bluetooth like many other headphones. Only con is, it does not have the foldable cups like its predecessor, XM4s.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are a game-changer in audio technology. With exceptional noise cancellation, crystal-clear call quality, and stunning Hi-Res Audio, they deliver an immersive listening experience. The comfortable design and impressive 30-hour battery life make them perfect for long sessions. Intuitive touch controls and dual Bluetooth connectivity offer seamless usability. Safety features like sound pressure monitoring ensure healthy listening habits. Whether you're a music enthusiast, frequent traveler, or professional, these headphones blend cutting-edge technology with luxurious comfort, making them an essential accessory for anyone seeking premium audio quality and versatility.

I have really enjoyed using these headphones and they've been a lifesaver at work. With an open office floor plan good noise cancelling headphones are a must. They sit comfortably over my ears and don't hurt even after hours of use, they're also not too heavy like the old 3's. The mic is good, almost too good at times. I have to be good about my muting or it'll pickup other people talking in my row. Great for music and movies as well!

After investing in the XM4's, i saw this model and all of its improvements. Sturdy build, comfortable ear cups, and long battery life with great sound. My only cripe would be that it doesnt fold, so the case is a bit big, but well worth the sacrifice

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.

My second pair, I screwed up my WH1000MX3 and somehow got an electrical buzz in one speaker - it they went. On to the WH1000MX5's first differences, the pads aren't as "thick" so these are our sit "closer" to your head. Second they don't fold like the MX3' did. But these connect to two devices, fit well enough for longer use, handle Ultra high and spatial Music Quality 360° services exceptionally well; Have great noise canceling and new, better mic position, pickup and clarity. The quality is there and while I prefer Van Halen and Rock music, I'm sure today's sampling / autotune crowd will be happy with them too.

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.

I had the Sony XM3 version and really liked it. These were the newer model and had rave reviews so I got one. The sound is outstanding and they feel lighter and less bulky than the XM3. The battery life is excellent and lasts me all day and then some. That said... I absolutely hate that they took the voice away telling you the different system statuses that the XM3 had. Now its just a random tone. I can't tell if I'm properly in pairing mode. Can't tell what listening mode you're in either. It's just a beep. Bring back the sexy voice that let you know you were in ambient noise mode! Oh, and for $400 you should absolutely include the charging block, ya cheap skinflints! These two things kept it from getting all 5 stars. Otherwise, a great purchase (if not a tad steep).

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are extremely comfortable and the sound quality is amazing, although after only having them for less than a year I can say that the build quality of the hinges are terrible, as mine broke without me even being present in the same room as them.
