Customer Ratings & Reviews

I did a lot of research before purchasing these headphones. I had it down to these, and Skull Candy Crusher Evo. I wanted clear, crisp sound with a good bass response, Noise cancelling was also important. Both headphones had excellent reviews, but I decided on the Sony simply because I’m familiar with the brand, and I’ve never been disappointed. This headset checked all the boxes. With the app’s equalizer, I was able to set the bass as heavy as I wanted…and it sounds amazing. By the way, the app is super easy to navigate. The noise cancelling function is primo. They’re light, and there is no discomfort wearing them for extended periods. Battery life is great. Pairing was simple. Packaging was impressive with a very nice storage case. In my opinion, there are no cons. I really love these headphones, and feel they’re absolutely worth what I paid. Sony has put out an excellent product, and I would definitely recommend these phones to anyone.

Great sound and noise cancellation. They pair well with Apple devices and android/PC which is ultimately why I got them, bc this one chick in my office is so incredibly loud when she’s on virtual meetings. I can still hear her, but it’s not as distracting. I do like how they are very light and comfortable. The sound and noise cancellation is comparable to the AirMax pros that my husband owns. These are much lighter. Downside is the case is rather bulky, but the AirMax pros only come with a bra-like case, LOL, and they are quite heavier. I do with the case was more hardshell. Right now the case is a canvas covered cardboard like material. If you need compact for frequent travel go with the Beats overear, otherwise, you can’t really beat these. Battery seems to last forever in between maybe an hour of listening.

These headphones are so good. Ive had them on my wish list for a while and I finally pulled the trigger and I dont regret it at all. The customization is honestly the best feature and really sets them apart from competitors. They are really loud and the sound is crisp. They are extremely comfortable to wear and arent heavy on the head at all. The ear cushions are great as well and have a nice seal.

I've had the XM3, and I've had the XM4, and these by far outshine every single one of them. I actually sold my Bose headphones, which were my second backup versions for traveling, in order to get these, and don't regret it a bit. These completely are the most comfortable and lightweight headphones I've had, I wore them for 6 to 8 hours while traveling in planes, with phenomenal battery life, fantastic sound, and completely solid connectability. The app allows you to seamlessly connect to either two devices, which unfortunately makes you lose LDAC, but otherwise works perfectly. If this is important to you. The noise canceling is absolutely out of this world, you are truly in a world of your own. Are they expensive? Yes, but they are without a doubt the best noise canceling headphones you can buy. I've tried multiple different versions, from Bose, and Sony, these are by far the best ones I've ever had, and definitely will be sticking with them

My Sony WH1000XM5 headphones from Best Buy are like a fairytale for my ears! Noise-canceling? It's like an instant peaceful island getaway - even at family gatherings! Comfort? It's like two fluffy clouds hugging my ears during Netflix marathons. Touch controls? I feel like a DJ at a silent disco, swiping to adjust volume. Battery life? Endless! I haven't charged them in a month. Are they secretly aliens? Sound quality? It's so good; I can hear music notes high-fiving in my brain. Plus, they're cat-ignoring magic! My cat knocked things off shelves, but I was too busy jamming out! :') In short, Sony WH1000XM5 headphones are audio paradise. I'm a noise-canceling, music-loving superhero now! P.S. If you see me dancing in the street, blame these magical headphones!

Excellent product. Very lightweight, comfortable to wear for hours. Noise cancelling is exceptional and music quality too. I use it to study a lot and it has never failed me.

Absolutely loving the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones! The noise-canceling is top-notch, the sound quality is rich and immersive, and they’re super comfortable for long use. Great battery life too. Worth every penny!

The Sony WH-1000XM5 is (IMO) the best wireless headphone for its pricepoint and one of the best on the market..PERIOD. Excellent transparency, the best call quality, arguably the best ANC, great connectivity, and super comfortable. It's sound quality is a bit subjective as straight out of the box I felt it sounded good but not great. A little bass heavy and bloated but it also has one of the best app EQ's which makes it sound fantastic once you find your favorite settings and really brings it up to par with other wireless headphones that are twice the price. In fact if I had to find one flaw it would be the short charge cable (a 6" cable is a joke) but that's the only thing I can think of. I absolutely love the XM5 and it is DEFINITELY worth it's price tag.

Why did I wait so long to get some over the ear headphones?! These are incredible! Great ANC, amazing sound quality over Bluetooth and 3.5mm, and very comfortable. I use them for music, planes, and games and TV when my wife is sleeping. Controls are intuitive and easy to use. The control app also allows you to choose a custom equalizer similar to choosing an eyeglass prescription (better 1 or 2?) which gives the best sound to your ears. Add to all this, the battery lasts forever. I have used these for easily 10-15 hours and only used 30% battery with ANC on full time. These are not cheap but they are certainly worth it if you want great quality. The only downside is the lack of any waterproofing (the instructions even warn against sweating. But I would still give 5 stars as these are not meant for heavy outdoor/exercise use.

I loved my 1000XM3s. They were my daily driver headphones for over 2 years. When they finally died on me, I decided to try the Apple AirPods Max. Wow what a mistake that was. They were bulky, heavy, and did not sound nearly as good as I would have hoped for their cost. I returned the AirPods for these Sonys, which were on sale for about half the price of the AirPods. These sound SO MUCH more premium and are infinitely more comfortable. I wish these would fold up a little smaller, but I have no real complaints about them. I love that I can use these as Bluetooth or with an INCLUDED aux cable.

The Sony XM5 headphones are outstanding! Unmatched sound quality, deep bass, and crystal-clear audio. The noise cancellation is phenomenal, perfect for travel or focus. They’re lightweight, comfortable for hours, and the battery life is impressive. The sleek design adds style to functionality. Worth every penny for audiophiles and casual listeners alike!

The XM5s are probably the best over the ear Bluetooth headphones you can get. While the audio quality is not quite as good as audiophile wired headphones, it is better than lots of similar competitors. You can tell the bass is slightly boosted, good clean mids and highs, overall the sound is excellent for what it is. Good battery life, it will easily last a whole day. The noise-canceling is amazing on these, a must have for any air travel. I have had these for six months so far, and they have held up well.

Very expensive, but after a month of use I absolutely love these headphones. The noise canceling works great, the sounds is fantastic, they are comfortable to wear for hours and the battery life is long. I didn't own a pair of xm4 so I don't have a comparison but these are well worth the money thus far.

Great sound quality and clean bass sound. Very comfortable to wear. The spacial recognition features really come in handy. Battery life is incredily long!

comfortable headphones - I have glasses and I cannot have the headphones too tight. These stay on nicely and don't feel like they will damage my glasses. sound quality - is excellent. I've got a music service that these headphones can take advantage of for better sound. battery life - haven't really tested this. Although they have lasted all day while I travel. style - i like the simplistic design on the headphones and the color does stand out a bit, but i don't want to forget it anywhere so I need it to be different. wireless - Bluetooth is really good on these cans. I love being able to walk around the house and not worry about dropouts.

Excellent product. Sound quality and noise cancelling features are great. Sits comfortably on the ears. Keeps charge for a while. I do wish they were a little louder though.
