Sony headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m giving them a four because they come with no directions and I can’t seem to link them to my Rand McNally GPS system which is blue tooth. I can hear really well with them on. Everyone says they are really clear on the other end. I’m supposed to wear hearing aids but with these I can hear everything quite well. So if I could get some help linking these to my GPS they would get a five plus rating

Posted .Hello unbox2000,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We sincerely appreciate your candid feedback regarding the WH-1000XM5 headphones. We’re sorry to hear that the material quality didn’t feel as premium as you expected for the price. This is not the standard we aim to deliver, and we take your concerns very seriously. We truly appreciate you pointing out both the areas where we can improve and the strengths in sound quality. Please rest assured that your feedback will be shared with our dedicated Sony team for a thorough review as we continue working to make our products even better.
Best regards,

Great sound, cloud-like comfort
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve compared this product to Bose and Apple (QC 35, and pro max). These headphones come out on top, although by a surprisingly small margin. Unsurprisingly, Sony wins out on noise cancelling. A noisy plane, with a little bit of music, is completely drowned out. Fantastic for sleeping! Soundscape, this is largely subjective, but the area feels small.
