    Pretty good sound. Crap gimmick in the left ear cup that pauses music when it's taken off. OK Mic I guess, it's an upgrade from the last one for sure. REALLY long battery life

    Overall great product, worth it when on sale just unfortunate sound stage where sounds behind and in front sound very similar especially when gaming, though the treble is very responsive so footsteps are very audible, bass is a little muffled but still good. Music sounds amazing. Unfortunate the application to enhance bass, med and treble only works for phones. 4/5 stars overall, 3.5/5 for games

      Hi DanielB!
      We are excited to hear you're enjoying your WH-1000XM5 headphones! It's great that you were able to get them on sale and that they're working so well for music.
      However, we apologize that you're not completely satisfied with the sound stage for gaming with your headphones. We understand it can be frustrating when sounds in front and behind sound similar. We also appreciate your feedback on the bass and the app's functionality.

      We do have a great Inzone H9 Gaming Headset that's specifically designed for gaming and spatial sound. We hope you'll give them a try!

      Thank you for considering Sony products and for your feedback!
      Best regards,

    Love this headphones. Has a lot of features. Has decent range. You can put your hand on the right side of the headphone for temporary talk to someone without having to remove your headphone from your head. And many other features. Very light. The only negative thing is the carrying case which is bulky and won't fit easy in a carry on luggage.

    I've been using the Apple AirPods Max for the last 2 years and noise cancelling of that headphones is amazing. Unfortunately, lost my headphones and started looking for alternative. I auditioned the M5 from my casual ears, music and movie audio is comparable to the Max. The noise cancelling though is I found a bit weaker than the Max. I do love the option to cover the right cup and you'll instantly hear your surroundings ambient sound. Overall, with being cheaper than the AirPods max, this is a great headphones
