    Owned XM3’s for several years now, got this set for my wife and she loves it. It convinced her to switch from her earbud only preference after having a lot of discomfort issues with other over-ear sets. Quality and performance is unmatched in all areas and still a noticeable improvement from the 3’s

    I truly enjoyed purchasing this. Got this headphones for the lowest price during Black Friday deals. The sound quality was too good. The equalizer is an additional boost but it requires some effort to get the best sound with the right settings. Just keep playing around with it until you get it right.

    It is a perfect entry level headphone for music lovers, the noise cancellation was perfect I couldn’t hear anything once it was on. It felt like I was in my own little world! And the ability to turn on ambience mode with just a touch of a finger without pulling out my phone is the cherry on top.

    I had the XM4s for awhile, but they developed a crackling noise after a month or so. I returned those and got these XM5s as a replacement, and I must say that these are without a doubt the best sounding headphones I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. The clarity of these headphones are amazing. These are far more superior than any Bose headphones you can buy, and far better than even the Sony XM4s I had previously. Very happy with this purchase.

    Overall good headphones, coming from the XM4s the earmuffs are a lot more comfortable. Sound quality stays just as good with adjustability within the app. Unfortunately it doesn’t have optimizer noise canceling like the xm4s did so you can’t manually adjust NC on the go. The headphones do adjust NC automatically but that little key feature would’ve been nice to see on these. These no longer have NFC connectivity, but still connect to two devices at once.

      Hi MusicReview, Awesome! We're glad that you love the comfort, sound quality. This has Auto NC Optimizer for automatically optimizing noise cancelling based on your wearing conditions and environment, and a specially designed driver unit, WH-1000XM5 headphones with industry-leading noise cancelling rewrite the rules for distraction-free listening and call clarity. When you wear the headset, this function always automatically optimizes the noise canceling performance by analyzing the wearing condition of the headset according to the shape of your face and your hairstyle, or the presence or absence of glasses, and the pressure change in an airplane, etc.

      There is no need for the wearer to press a button or use the touch sensor control panel to use this function.

    The ANC on these are honestly some of the best I've ever used. However, the sound quality is a bit lower than I expected. The build quality of these are also absolutely horrendous as they have broken from just sitting on a shelf of an extended period of time.

      Hi EliC, thanks a lot for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear you’re enjoying the noise cancelling on the WH‑1000XM5s, but we're really sorry to hear the sound and build did not fulfill your expectations. The headphones definitely shouldn’t be breaking like that, so we recommend reaching out to our service center, Encompass, for a low-cost repair: https://sony.encompass.com/parts-accessories/Sony-Repair-Services

      For the sound, you might also want to try adjusting some of the EQ settings in the Sony | Sound Connect app, it can make a big difference depending on what you’re listening to.

      Thanks for considering Sony and for bringing this to our attention.
      Sincerely,
      Estefany Sony_US
