      Hello ReviewerX,

      Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're glad to hear you like the sound quality, smart features and design of the headphones. 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!

      Regards,
      David Sony_US

    Not worth it, Broke after 4 months of use

    I bought these headphones in November 2025 and after only 4 months the hinge broke completely on its own while I was wearing them.No dropping, no impact, no misuse whatsoever. The plastic at the pivot joint just gave out and a large chunk broke off, making them completely unusable. Also, the difference in sound quality compared to the XM4 is practically imperceptible in everyday use. On top of that, the XM4 actually has better active noise cancellation. If you're considering these headphones, my recommendation is to go with the XM4 instead, they're more durable, have better ANC, and the price difference is not justified by any real improvement in the experience.

      Hi Daniel,
      Thanks for the review. We truly appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts with us.

      We're so sorry to hear that your headphones broke. That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially since you’ve only had them for a few months. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the sound and noise canceling compared to the XM4. We take these comments seriously to help us make better products.

      To help fix the broken hinge, we recommend contacting our parts supplier, Encompass. They can help you with a low-cost repair.

      You can find more details at this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00346233

      Thanks for considering Sony and letting us know about this issue.
      Warm regards,
