Underwhelming at any price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: app works well, look nice, light weight. Cons: audio quality is nowhere near what I was expecting. These sound only ok. No air to sound. Sounds flat, just not impressive at all. Audio quality over BT from Android playing very high quality source is muddy. Play same song over aux, night and day difference. That said, if you don't mind a cord, then there are way better headphones out there. What really broke the deal for me was the heat. You can't ware them more then a few minutes before you feel like you have your head in a plastic Safeway bag. I mean you just gotten take them off to let the heat out and get some air. Idk just really not my thing.

Very high quality.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm still learning it, but it is amazing quality with the latest technology. I love it. The only thing is at this high price point, you can't get them sweaty. That is the only thing I dislike.

Posted .Hi Solji, We're glad that you are enjoying your new headphones. While the WH1000XM5 units don’t have an IPX rating, a simple walk in the park shouldn’t be of concern. For more serious workouts, we suggest our headphones specifically designed for that task. Check out our WF-C500s and the WF-1000XM4s.

5 star hardware. Mediocre sony app.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hardware is 5 stars!!!!. The only thing that i dont like is the app which only allows you to either have 2 devices connected at the same time like phone and work computer but if u are to go to the gaming pc or some other device you need to remove one and add the other. Intead of just marking what device should be active. Also sometimes you just want one device active. To do that you have to disable the 2 device functionality. Also the buttons are a bit sensitive. Everytime i stretch after training and my arm brushes the headphones something happens.
