Sony XM5
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones have great sound quality for everyday users. Most advanced adaptive noise cancellation in its class. As for connectivity with Apple it can’t real contend with headphones like AirPods Max or Beats.

Amazing Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are as great as people say they are and I would definitely recommend them. The only issue I have is that the disconnect and reconnect if I’m using them for my work laptop and my phone is near by. It’s annoying during a meeting

Good sound slightly annoying build
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good but ever dependent on the EQ settings it seems. You have to take the time to tailor the experience to how you want to experience sound with the companion app. In terms of build it is aesthetically pleasing but smudges easily. The cupping around the ears is also prone to become wet from sweat.
I would recommend this to a friend As expected, Sony lives up to its reputation.

I originally had the mark 3s and I thought those were amazing headphones. These, mark 5s are even better in sound quality and they do a good job to function as Bluetooth headset for calls.

Posted .Hi Loked,
It is fantastic to know that you would recommend the WH-1000XM5 to others! We truly appreciate you sharing your positive experience with the community.
We’ve worked hard to ensure these headphones set a high standard for both silence and sound. By utilizing our Integrated Processor V1 and HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1, the XM5s can block out more high and mid-frequency sounds than ever before—whether you're in a noisy office or on a busy flight. Additionally, the Auto NC Optimizer automatically adjusts the noise canceling based on your wearing conditions and environment, ensuring you always have the most immersive listening experience possible without having to lift a finger.
Thank you for trusting Sony.
Regards,
Dominick

Great for Office Work
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good headphones. The noise canceling doesn't silence everything for me with my glasses and long hair, but it definitely makes all the sounds more manageable. The option to enable and disable noise canceling at the push of a button is also very nice.
