Perfect for my needs
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very light-weight and comfortable to wear for longer periods of time! Love the Ambient Sound Control and location detection with the app, I can noice cancel at home but still hear my coworkers at the office if I want. Also, the battery lasts FOREVER! I can easily go an entire week of using them and not have to charge them until the weekend.

Amazing noise cancelation!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing noise cancelation for office warriors! I bought these after having a hard time switching from one device to another when receiving a call with my last pair of headphones. These did the trick and have outstanding sound! The app is great and allows custom settings that blew my mind. Also, great battery life!

Best over the ear headphones in the market so far
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones. I love sony headphones. I had 3 generations of this one. I love the improvements from each. things to consider are the connectivity to multiple devices is not as seamless as I would want it to be. it is still pretty good but I think they can improve that for next gen. sound is amazing. every time I put it on I am amazed. I use it for gaming, music, and streaming movies. no audio lag when in bluetooth even when playing fps shooters like warzone.

Yes.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive owned several top quality headphones in the past but I gotta say, Sony put in the work on these x5s. Messing around with the EQ and other features on the Headphones Sony app truly makes the product unique such as placing your palm on the right outer headphone surface to activate the 6 mics around the headphones to activate the attention mode to hear your surroundings or the fact that there arent any buttons for replaying the previous song or going to the next or even volume up and down...its all on that same touch sensitive outer surface of the headphone and it amazes me how well it works. Theres even the feature that pauses the music automatically when you start speaking (can be toggles on/off in settings). Not to mention the battery, it charges for like 10 minutes to get about 3 hours of play time.

Sounds good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good great when you set to your personal eq. Very comfy. Not worth moving up from the 4s. To me they were ok upgrading from the 3s but still the 4s the better price if you don’t want the best out of the lineup/more compact.

Just buy them already
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth the money for sure. Ive worn these things for atleast 4-5 in a single sitting and they were comfythe whole time. Great to throw on before doing some chores. I Probbaly wouldnt want to work out in them just so i keep them nice and i think the instructions say to not overly sweat with them on but otherwise they are the perfect headphone. Impecible sound quality and the noise cancelling is no joke best in its class. Works amazing for talking on the phone. Blah blah stop thinking about it and just buy the headphones.

Great Noise-Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted something with good noise cancelling while mowing my yard since I have ringing in both ears and loud noise makes it worse. I am very happy with Sony WH1000XM5 headphones. They met my expectations, and I have the added bonus of being able to listen to music while mowing without having to turn the volume way up. They are also great on Microsoft Teams calls and regular iPhone calls. Quality is great. I am very happy with them. And my granddaughter like them too.

Best headphones out no debate.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.10/10 recommend for anyone who loves to tune out from all surroundings. The sound cancellation is phenomenal not too mention the durability. I’ve had mine for a couple years and I’ve only charged them a handful of times. Very efficient and worth the price.

Solid headphones, some minor gripes.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid headphones. Great sound quality, noise cancellation, and battery life. They are a bit heavy and I don't like the case or that they don't fold up. All in all, great purchase but might be a little overpriced for what you get.

sony wh-1000xm4 review
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had bought these headphones about 5-6 months ago now and I absolutely love them. The sound quality is top notch and I love using the noise cancelation mode whenever it's a bit too loud wherever I may be and I gotta say it works amazingly. Another great thing about these headphones is the charge time and battery life! It only takes me about 30 minutes maximum to fully charge the headphones and the battery life can last me all day! The price is perfect for what you're getting. 100% would recommend
