    These things were...overpriced and had awful audio quality. Louder music or gameplay made the audio crackle on them and the built in mic was a joke, my friends said I sounded like I was trapped in a tin can. Returned them and got a pair of Logitech for $200 cheaper. They refused to connect to my bluetooth as well without an adapter. They did block noise so I guess they weren't wrong about that.

    After only a year and a half of owning these the headphones have broken at the hinge point. I’m very disappointed in the quality and durability for the price I paid. My Bose headphones lasted for well over 8 years with the same regular wear, but I thought I would try something new since I liked Sony’s technology and they seemed to be on par with the sound quality of Bose, my mistake. Would not buy these again. 6 months out of warranty, and I’m out $400 and another piece of technology is headed to the trash. Don’t get these, go with Bose.

    I bought these at best buy in north dakota on May 16th 2025 for 467.98 w/2 year plan. I got them just to use on airplanes. Then flew home on the 23rd. They didn't last me a week/one plane trip before the cheap plastic ear extender piece broke off while i was sleeping on the plane back home on may 23rd. I have reciepts & flight logs to prove all of this. Thank god i sorang fir the protection plan. I took the sony's back at the best buy in my home town and bought the bose QC ultra for 100 dollars more w/2 year plan as the ear connector part is made of metal. As soon as i put the bose on i felt the difference of sound quality & noise canceling. It was night & day compared to the sony. Dont make the same mistake i did, stay away from the sony, they are total trash.

      Hi TruongN, we are truly sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with your new Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. It's genuinely disheartening to learn that the plastic ear extender piece broke off so quickly, especially when you specifically purchased them for airplane travel, and after such a significant investment. We completely understand your disappointment and why you feel the way you do. This is absolutely not the quality or durability we aim for our products, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and stress this incident has caused you.
      We want to assure you that we take feedback like yours very seriously as we continuously strive to improve our products. Thank you for sharing your detailed experience and for considering Sony! Best regards, -Dominick Sony_US
