      Thank you for sharing your feedback, JimmyD.

      We are pleased to hear that you are finding value in the WH-1000XM5 headphones' excellent Noise Cancellation and the functionality of the associated app. We put a lot of focus on creating a world-class listening environment, so it is great to know those features are working well for you.

      We are sorry, however, to hear that the sound quality is not completely meeting your expectations. We're committed to providing a premium audio experience, and we would like to ensure you are getting the best performance possible.

      Have you tried using the Equalizer feature within the Sony Headphones Connect app? Adjusting the EQ settings can often significantly tailor the sound profile to your specific preferences, offering clearer highs, deeper bass, or a more balanced mix.

      We value this feedback and hope a small adjustment helps you unlock the full audio potential of your WH-1000XM5 headphones.

      Thanks for choosing Sony!

    These are literally the best Bluetooth headphones available, but they will break if pushed beyond their meager physical limits. Do not sleep with these headphones on, or you're asking for trouble. Otherwise, they are absolutely amazing. They're a huge upgrade from the XM3 and even XM4.

    Truly the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. The audio quality is incredible and the call quality is quite impressive too according to my colleagues who've noticed. I love the feature that connects to multiple devices and is able to switch between the two. The noise cancelling is very impressive and make these an all around great everyday pair of headphones.
