Customers are saying

Customers regard the product's sound quality as impeccable, frequently praising its comfort, impressive battery life, and lightweight design. While many also appreciate its good bass, snug fit, and decent active noise cancellation, some concerns have been raised. These concerns primarily revolve around its portability, price, occasional connectivity issues, and a desire for louder volume and water resistance.

    This product is great and I do think they are one of the best headphones, but you would be way better off getting xm4 for really cheap on sale.

    Excellent headphones, easy to use, love the touch features on the side. Only thing I don’t like is having to use the Sound Connect app and only being able to connect to 2 devices at once. Besides that, great quality sound, amazing noise cancellation.

    Perfect been using for the last year in the gym and out and about. I love them and a great investment I usually have to only charge them once a month and I go to the gym 4-5 days a week. Also was able to get headphone covers on Amazon that match the colors perfectly

      Hi JoshuaF,

      We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying the clean audio quality of your WH-1000XM5! Regarding the volume, we recommend checking the Sony | Sound Connect app to ensure the "Volume Lightning" or "Safety Volume Control" settings aren't limiting your output. While these headphones are not water-resistant, we advise keeping them dry to protect the high-precision acoustic components and ensure they last for years to come.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
      Eliab Sony_US
