Great sound, but ears get a little warm
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the ANC and the sound response. One caveat with these over the ears is that they can heat up your ears. I can last for an hour or so. Also, not good for the plane, the prior model is better, folds up better. Pretty pricey as well.

Posted .Hi Shiny, Great! You definitely made the right choice. We are extremely pleased to hear you are satisfied with your purchase and you are enjoying the superb sound quality and excellent noise cancellation of your WH-1000XM4. Your assessment is spot on. It's just you and your music with the WH-1000XM4 headphones. The easy way to enjoy less noise and even purer sound, with smart listening technology that automatically personalizes your experience. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Jess

Great sound without outside noise
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound with adjustable equalization with app. Outside noise diminished greatly. Only thing I miss is voice announcing bluetooth connection, battery level, power off. New model just has beeps, no voice announcements.

More Than Ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio quality isn’t as good as the XM4 even though they are more comfortable, and connection issues ensue when connecting more than one or two devices even when using the intended app with the headphones. The battery life is abysmal compared to any of the headphones I’ve had before whether it be Sony/Bose/Beats/Apple.

Posted .Hello Bagel,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We apologize for the difficulties you have experienced with the WH1000XM5 headphones, including the audio quality, connection issues with multiple devices, and battery performance.
We suggest trying the equalizer in the Sony Sound Connect app to adjust the sound settings such as bass to better suit your preferences. You can follow the instructions here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00286844.
To address connection problems when using multiple devices, please try these steps:
Reset the headset to clear temporary bugs without deleting pairing information. Instructions are available at: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541012.html.
If resetting does not resolve the issue, perform a factory reset to restore the headset settings fully. Please note this will erase all pairing data. You can find detailed instructions here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541013.html.
