    They have a great sound quality, theyre definitely the best over the hear headphone. When i was considering purchasing over the ear headphones i was considering both these and the airpod max, and for the sound quality & price point this was a much better purchase. The apps and adaptability features pushed me to purchase this over the airpod max.

    Very nice headphones. They go hurt ur ears after a while, if you wear them covering only one ear… but when covering both, they are very comfortable. Also, ur ears get hot after like 40 minutes. Biggest pro is the battery life, iv used them like 10 times now and still haven’t charged them ever since I got them… and it’s still have like 40% charge.

    I knew these were great headphones already, given they consistently win over reviewers on youtube. Hearing them for my self though, i was caught off guard by how utterly silent the ANC makes your surroundings. I use these daily for teams calls and music while working. Excellent sound quality and mind blowing ANC.

      Thank you for the fantastic review, ErickN!

      We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you love the look of your WH-1000XM5 headphones and that you have no complaints about the amazing sound quality! Delivering a high-fidelity listening experience is what we strive for.

      We do appreciate your feedback regarding the non-folding design. The new sleek, fixed headband design was chosen for enhanced comfort and acoustic performance, but we understand that the inability to fold them compactly is a trade-off for users who prioritize portability. Your input on this design choice is valuable for our future product considerations.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony!
