Not great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are visually pretty, but, wearing them feels a little weird because they stick out on the sides - they’re definitely wide, so say goodbye to laying down and wearing them. The way they extend is unique, but I worry about the longevity of the arms. Additionally, the way they are meant to sit in the case is awkward, and a more clunky experience than the older model. Not a great user experience, especially for the price, I don’t want to feel like i’m struggling to get them out of the case. Not great for situations like an airport, or class. The headphones themselves work great, but unfortunately everything else about them is a let down.

Posted .Hi MayaZ,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed and honest feedback about your WH-1000XM5 headphones. We genuinely appreciate you letting us know your experience.
We're really sorry to hear that while the sound quality is great, several aspects of the design and the carrying case experience did not fulfill your expectations.
Your specific notes on the "wide" fit, the longevity concern with the extending arms, and the awkward case placement are incredibly valuable. We rely on feedback like this to improve future products and design choices.
Thanks for considering Sony headphones and for providing us with this helpful information.
Sincerely,
Estefany

Upgrade from the Beats Studio 3
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as an upgrade to my Beats Studio 3. Upon listening to these for the first time, I was impressed with the ANC performance, sound, and build quality which is all a step above the Beats. The only negative I can think of is how the case is larger than the Beats' case but other than that it is perfect. I also enjoyed the Sony app and all the features it offered.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really like these for traveling. Noise cancelling is great for the noises of plane/train. Sometimes have trouble switching connection from phone to computer but besides that no issues. I bought them full price and I recommend waiting for a sale or looking at prices elsewhere like Amazon. Had lots of issues with my AirPods charging and now these Sony are my go to.

Very good but not exceptional
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good headphone with some flaws( minor). 1. The material on the ear cups is finger print magnet. 2. It feels so hot after using it for an hour so. I was sweating after using it for a couple of hours. 3. The case/folder is very large and cumbersome to carry it around. 4. The noise canceling and audio quality is excellent but not exceptional or any better than from the new Boss quiet and apple earMax. Overall very good headphone with some flaws.
