    Perfect product in my opinion, I had an older version from 6 years ago that worked perfectly well, but a friend needed a pair to work in quiet so I gifted them to her. These WH1000XM5's are simply a phenom! They perform as promised and allow me to get rid of the sound from the a/c unit in my rental home. Forget about the music, just LISTEN and you will fall in love this Sony headset.

    Pretty good ANC headphones but the found the ear cups too small and shallow, not very comfortable to use. The stock sound is terrible, will need to EQ in the Sony app, but after EQ sound is not bad.

      Hi Kendall! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. We're sorry to hear that the earcups weren't as comfortable as you'd hoped and that the initial sound profile didn't quite meet your expectations.

      We understand that comfort is key, especially during long listening sessions, and we appreciate you bringing the earcup size and depth to our attention. This kind of feedback is valuable as we're always looking for ways to improve our designs.

      It's great to hear that you were able to customize the sound to your liking using the Sony Headphones Connect app's EQ settings! We're also glad that you found the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to be effective – it's something we're very proud of with the WH-1000XM5.

      Thanks again for your honest review and choosing us. Your insights are helpful for us and for others considering these headphones. If you have any further questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

      Best regards,
      Gus

      Hello ooooooh,

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

      We truly appreciate your positive feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones! It's wonderful to know you're enjoying the exceptional sound quality and the remarkably effective noise cancellation during your flights. We're also glad the transparency mode is proving useful for when you need to be aware of your surroundings.

      Regarding your suggestion for automatic Bluetooth device switching, thank you! We're constantly working to improve our products, and feedback like yours is essential as we develop future enhancements.

      In the meantime, you can connect your headset to two devices simultaneously through a multipoint connection, allowing you to switch music playback between devices effortlessly without the need to reconnect via Bluetooth. This means you can enjoy music from one smartphone while remaining available for incoming calls on both devices, enabling you to answer calls as they come in.

      To learn more about how to enable multipoint connection, please visit the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541784.html.
