Incompatible with Apple and PS5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The problem I have with these headphones is that they don’t connect with the PlayStation Bluetooth. Both Sony products and I feel this is very inconvenient. There is also no way to find them with an Apple product

Posted .Hi Cisco,
Thanks for posting your feedback on the WH1000XM5 headphones!
We understand and appreciate your frustration with these specific issues, especially as they relate to other Sony and Apple products. You've brought up two very important points, and here is some information on each:
1) PlayStation Bluetooth Connectivity: The WH-1000XM5 headphones do not support a direct Bluetooth connection with the PlayStation console. While they are both Sony products, PlayStation consoles are designed to use their own proprietary wireless connection for controllers and dedicated gaming headsets (such as the INZONE or PULSE series) to ensure a stable, low-latency audio experience crucial for gaming. As a workaround, many users have success using the included 3.5mm audio cable to connect the headphones directly to the PlayStation controller.
2) "Find My" Feature with Apple Products: The WH-1000XM5 does not support Apple's "Find My" network. However, we do offer a similar feature within the Sony | Headphones Connect app. This "Find device" feature can help you locate the headphones if they are connected to your phone and within a short range.
We understand these limitations can be inconvenient, and we sincerely appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Your feedback is very valuable to our product development teams as we continue to improve our products and user experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony North America.

Posted .Thank you for your review, buyer11345!
We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying the amazing sound quality of your WH-1000XM5! We put a lot of focus into the audio engineering of our flagship headphones, so it’s great to know that part is hitting the mark for you.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the comfort. While we designed these with a lightweight "Soft Fit Leather" headband to be very comfortable for most, we understand that fit can be a very personal experience. We suggest adjusting the sliders slightly to find the best weight distribution for your head shape, as this can often help during longer listening sessions.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
