If you have the money for it, I recommended it.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very high quality headphones. Noise canceling is top notch and with settings that allow noise pass-through if needed. Battery life is massive, where it lasts the entire day and is still above 85%. The included app is also nice and with tons of customizable settings based on your needs. The sound quality is amazing as well. If you have the money for it, I would recommend this headphone.

Excellent Noise-Cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Slightly better Noise-Cancelling than Bose, very light and more comfortable over the ears than the prior generation of headphones. Battery lasts 30-35 hours between recharges when new. Microphone is good in anything except wind. The case is very nice, a little bulkier than others but much more secure. The color does not rub off or scratch easily, so it still looks nice even after weeks.

Best ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These by far are the best orchard I've ever made when it comes to headphones. The noise canceling is great, they are easy to use, and incredibly comfortable. I won't buy another head phone. I personally didn't like the 6 to much but the xm5s just worked great.

Great value and superior quality.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my GF she absolutely loves it, uses it in long flights and always claims how good the ANC works compared to apple products. Comes in a wide range of colors and has been rated by many as the best in class. Highly recommend for long trips, cheaper then iPhone pro max, great battery life, and most importantly every stylish. This is definitely a great gift without breaking the bank with other premium headphones in the same space. The case covers and protects the whole ear phones. So far no negative issues as she has already used it for over 2 months since Christmas.

Great pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was going back and forth between these and the AirPods Max. I was more on the side of the AirPods Max, because it fit the apple ecosystem. However, I jumped on the Sony train. Great noise cancellation and excellent battery life! The price is also much better than the AirPods Max, but if you want superior noise cancellation, go with the AirPods Max. The other thing is that the XM5’s don’t really fatigue your head after long use. I highly recommend these headphones

Comfortable with incredible sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're extremely comfortable and hands down the best sounding headphones I've had. I own a few pair of beats Studios and while they've got good base, their sound isnt nearly as balanced. I tried out a paur of bose that were way to harsh on the highs. These are absolutely the best headphones I've ever had

Impressive Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been very comfortable for extended use. I generally use these paired with my iPhone while working and the sound has been impressive. I've been very picky with my headphones and compared these to the Apple Airpods Max and Bose, for the money they are a bit better value. The small nit picks I have are the need for an additional app installed for them to function, I wish they could be a little louder for heavier music, and given how lightweight they are (which is awesome) I am concerned with durability over time.

Worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ANC is out of this world. Feels like youre in an airplane but wow. I cant hear anything. The lows are crisp and mids are present. Highs can be a missing but you can change the EQ. Best sounding headphones on the market. Battery life is amazing as well. Tested it and and a charge lasts 2 weeks with about hour and a half listening every day. These are the top. Sennheiser Momentum 4 are a close pick too.

Nothing Can Beat These!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are seriously great. As an audiophile I feel these offer the best out of the box sound design compared to other brands like Bose, JBL, JayBird. But the app in order to tune them to your personal liking is super easy to use, intuitive, and makes them sound that much better. I do not get a sense of a V shaped audio profile. I would reccomend these to anyone who is serious about audio quality, audio design, or music production.

Best Headphones in the Game.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a couple weeks of use with my S24 Ultra phone its actually pretty good. The Noise cancelling is a nice feature, though you could still slightly hear sounds when playing music when around really loud construction & commuting in train tunnels. The Bass is neat, well matched with song & not overwhelming, The headphones are very comftable to wear. I highly recommend these headphones. Im actually about to get the ear buds next.

Satisfied.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I lost my WH-1000XM4 and after a long consideration of repurchasing the same item or the newer one(WH-1000XM5), I chose this one. I liked the design and my ears are more comfortable when wearing for a long time. (lighter than XM4 and it covers my ears better +better leather quality). Bigger headphone case doesn't matter to me much because I wear it when I travel.

Bigger and more comfortable than Bose headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great battery life and comfort. These are bigger than the competing Bose (qc35, 45) models and fit me much better. Would be five stars if they still folded like the previous version to take up less space in my bag. I also think the ANC and sound quality is better than the Bose models.

Posted .Hi Rexpresso, Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. It's great to hear that you appreciate the battery life, excellent noise canceling, great sound, and comfort. And good to know that the larger size of the WH-1000XM5 fits you better compared to the Bose QC35 and QC45 models. The WH-1000XM5 does not fold like the previous versions, which can indeed make them less compact for travel. However, your feedback about the convenience of a foldable design is valuable and will be considered for future improvements. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam
