Amazing sound and noice cancelation
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.During my hunt for a set of headphones i was pointed in this direction. The headphones are great the noice cancelation and the audio quality are worth the price. If you've tried to use earbuds like i have in the past and couldn't due to sizing issues. These over the ear headphones should be an option.

The Best for Noise Cancellation and Call Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The main reason to buy these is noise cancelling and call quality. They considerably outperformed my Air Pod Max's, especially the microphone. I was surprised, that the microphone quality is also considerably better than my Air Pod Pro 2's. It is very nice to be able to adjust the level of transparency. Their sound quality for music is good, but not really better than the Air Pod Pro 2's (if you fully configure them). Without question, Air Pod Max's sound better if music is your main focus.

Painful

Posted .Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones.
We are so pleased to hear that you are impressed with both the sound quality and the noise canceling performance—these are two areas we worked hard to refine!
However, we are genuinely sorry to learn that you are experiencing discomfort and pain after wearing them for only 20 minutes. This is certainly not the all-day comfort we designed the XM5s to provide. Headphones that cause pain defeat the purpose of great audio and ANC, and we want to help.
Discomfort can sometimes be related to fit or pressure. We recommend trying different ways to adjust the headband to ensure the earcups are sitting properly and the clamping force is evenly distributed.
If the discomfort persists, we encourage you to contact our dedicated product support team so they can troubleshoot the fit with you and explore potential options.
You can reach them here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
We appreciate you choosing Sony and hope to ensure you can enjoy your headphones comfortably.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team
