Great buy; headphones 10/10
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. I understand all the hype about them now. Love the noise canceling and how it stops when it hears you speak. The music sounds really clear, really good sound quality. I'm in love with the color and shape of the headphones, very aesthetic, and the case is super useful. Also like the fact that it has a headphone jack, perfect for flights. Haven't tried the 360 reality audio yet, but I've read that you have to pay for an app to have that so I don't think that's something I'll do. Overall in love with these, no problems so far, and so it's worth the money.

Loving it! Features are amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely loving this headset! Sounds amazing, using the app I connect to my computer and phone simultaneously and have seemless use between the 2, taking phone calls, teams calls and music listening. I love the simple quality of life features on it, such as, taking off the headset automatically pauses my music, then it resumes when I put it back on. Pausing and toggling the noise cancellation has been wonderful for my work environment as well. Highly recommend stepping up to this model if you're looking at the Sony brand line.

Great quality, excellent value for money!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth every dollar! I've owned some less expensive headphones from Sennheiser and Sony. The price point of the WH1000XM - series used to make me think twice, but when I tried them at the store, the sound quality and the noise cancelling performance really stood out. I've had a pair of these for over a year now, and I've used them almost everyday - they're robust, and have held up very well. Build quality is great. With all the options available on the market, the reality is: what you pay for is what you get. So, if all the above factors are important to you as a user, these are a good investment.

Pretty solid.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I literally rock these bad boys to bed. I have AirPods and these headphones but bought these headphones because I sometimes wanted that “I’m listening to something go away” look. These headphones do the job and are very light weight comprised to the apl ones and other Sony headphones. I bought the white versions so they do stain easy but also wipe off as quick.

Posted .Hi Marquette,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Sony WH1000XM5 headphones. We're glad to hear you enjoy the sound quality, but we're sorry for any discomfort caused by warmth during extended use.

They are much better than the Beats Studio Pro that they are replacing in both noise reduction and sound quality.
