      Hi RobertG, Thanks for leaving us such a great review on the WH-1000XM5! We are really delighted to hear you're satisfied with the incredible sound quality and overall fit of your WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones. Good to know you point out the easy Bluetooth pairing that is also noteworthy. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, JimmyD.

      We are pleased to hear that you are finding value in the WH-1000XM5 headphones' excellent Noise Cancellation and the functionality of the associated app. We put a lot of focus on creating a world-class listening environment, so it is great to know those features are working well for you.

      We are sorry, however, to hear that the sound quality is not completely meeting your expectations. We're committed to providing a premium audio experience, and we would like to ensure you are getting the best performance possible.

      Have you tried using the Equalizer feature within the Sony Headphones Connect app? Adjusting the EQ settings can often significantly tailor the sound profile to your specific preferences, offering clearer highs, deeper bass, or a more balanced mix.

      We value this feedback and hope a small adjustment helps you unlock the full audio potential of your WH-1000XM5 headphones.

      Thanks for choosing Sony!

      Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team sony-global

    Really good quality headphones and the noise cancellation is great. My school library gets very loud at times but when these headphones help me focus on my homework by cancelling out that noise.

    My head is a little big, so it would be better if it could be stretched a little more, but it is very comfortable to wear, and the sound noise reduction function is really perfect. I have been watching this headset for a long time, and the discount on best buy made me get it. Thanks to this store

    Absolutely love these headphones. They sound better than my older pair of Bose headphones. Just wish they made them with a better material around the ear that had moisture wicking material. I use them when I mow and I tend to sweat and they slide off at times.

    Amazing headphones better noise cancellation than 4. I noticed a beeping sound when I first bought it during listening. All you have to do is change the toggle where it switches automatically. The headphones are trying to automatically adjust to ambient and noise canceling. I took that off now what ever I do im in controll of the sound And no beeping.
