||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones! Several reasons why I like them: 1) Fantastic sound 2) Great NC 3) Comfortable 4) Long battery 5) Easy to use app with EQ features 5) Responsive and intuitive hand gestures on the right side 6) Cool features like stopping music when you speak 7) Nice quality case (albeit a bulky one) 8) Great microphone Things that could improve: 1) Can’t connect to Apple multi headphone feature, hopefully they get Apple to include them in the future 2) More compatible 360 audio; their spatial audio is limited to certain apps 3) Bulky case 4) I sometimes have issues with Windows, specifically with Teams

The Best Are Somehow Even Better Now
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fit and Style - These are pretty comfortable but not as comfortable as the XM4 or the Bose QC35. For me the slight discomfort comes from the thin top head band. For me it doesn't distribute the weight of the headphones very well, so after a few hours of wearing them it can get someone uncomfortable. I think these look very nice but ore importantly the materials used feel a lot nicer than the XM4 or the new Bose 700s. Sound - They sound almost identical to the XM4. The average joe would find it hard to differentiate these from the Xm4s but it is not like the Xm4 weren't already the best sound headset. The EQ in the app is awesome you can customize the sound exactly the way you want. The Bose do not come close, The Bose 700s are very flat and the App doesn't let you change it very much. The noise cancelling on these headphones is a massive improvement over the Xm4 which were already the best Noise cancelling headphones. I noticed with these they are more consistent with the noises they block out. Battery Life - The 30 hours seems accurate and for my use case that extra 10 hours over the Bose 700s makes a huge difference for convenience of having to worry about plugging these in all the time. The Bose 700s for me didn't come close to the 20 hours battery life, it often felt more like 15 hours and I was having to plug them in every couple days. App - The Sony app stands alone when compared to all other brands. As mentioned above you can EQ the sound exactly the way you want. As well as being able to set your settings for locations, so for the Gym you can boost the Bass and for work you can turn on Speak to Hear option which turns on ambient noise when you speak. The dual bluetooth is very easy and convenient to use and switch between, I wish for one day to have simultaneous playback with both bluetooth connections. Overall - I loved my XM2 and then the XM4 were amazing but different seem like enough of an upgrade to warrant keeping the XM4 over my XM2. But the XM5 feel like an upgrade in every possible way, I get better range with and the Noise cancelling is significantly better at blocking out more noises. If you have the older Xm headphones you have to upgrade to these, they are amazing. If you were looking at the Bose 700s please do yourself a favor and avoid those, they are noticeably worse than the Sonys in every measurable way. The Bose 700s have worse battery life, worse sound, worse app, and worse noise cancelling.

Good travel headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Sony WH-1000XM3s for a while and loved them, they were the perfect headphone for a while. The battery got messed up so I got the AirPods Max and when the XM5s came out, I figured to give them a shot. They are a good upgrade, they sound good in most to all music genres, but personally I EQ them to sound more neutral because the Sony line always have a bass-heavy sound profile. These are not as muddy and overwhelming though. The new added features are a welcome upgrade, and they are very comfortable. I’m already used to having non collapsible ear-cups, so it’s not the end of the world. They sound good, have tons of features, and have an attractive new design. They are good and a keeper for traveling.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Top of the line for their price range and for most non-professional consumers/non-audiophiles. Amazing battery, sound quality, touch controls, fast charging, comfortable, good app, noise cancelling is generally very good (not as good as airpods max though). The build is very light and finish very buttery soft plastic. It can feel a bit “cheap” though. The out of the box sound profile is god awful. Who chose it i have no idea. Download the app and set up the EQ to your liking. Google good EQs if you need help, it dramatically helps sound quality. Definitely wait until there is a sale though. Not worth the full retail price

Another great Sony product
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my son for Christmas. He was very impressed with the noise cancellation and swipe touch features on the unit themselves. They look really sharp (along with the case). I personally have had a set of this same product but about 6 years older. They are holding up very well and big fan of this product line from Sony.

It’s great to hear that your son is enjoying the WH-1000XM5! We’re glad he’s impressed with the industry-leading noise cancellation and the intuitive touch controls—being able to skip tracks or adjust volume with a simple swipe on the earcup really makes for a seamless experience.
It’s also incredible to know that your own pair is still going strong after six years! That speaks volumes about the durability we strive for in our products.
Thank you for being such a long-time fan and for choosing Sony for your family!

Exceptional, but not quite a one stop shop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All day battery, and best-in-class-noise cancellation! While these are certainly priced at a premium, the sound quality rivals headsets priced significantly more. The app helps to optimize its feature set. Though the fit and finish is quite good and lends to a comfortable, light-weight design, it doesn't look and feel as premium as a headset of this caliber should. While music sounds very good, the headset is really not suited for gaming, those looking for a one and done approach will not find it here in my opinion.

A dream to some, a nightmare to others!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgrading from the WH1000XM3's so this will mostly be a comparison to those. The ANC is top notch, better than the 3's which I was already impressed with. Ability to connect to two devices is awesome! Yes they redesigned the headset so it doesn't fold up nearly as compact as the 3's, but I don't travel much and these seem a bit sturdier. The fit is better also, but again, I have no problems with the 3's in that regard. The sound is not as bassey as the 3's but they are much more clear with a wider stage. The battery life is... decent. Are they worth 400 eye-blistering dollars? Yes if you want the latest tech and no if you have higher financial priorities. They are, after all, only plastic headphones...

Posted .Hi BarkingMad,
We're glad to hear you like the noise canceling features, Multipoint connection, and comfortable fit with your new WH1000XM5. However, we are sorry we were not able meet your full expectations with regard the bass sound and battery life of the unit. If you haven't yet, please try to follow the troubleshooting steps below.

There is even an EQ in there—which can be customized to fine-tune your music to your liking. You can edit the volume of the CLEAR BASS.

Best Headphones I've ever owned.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went with the blue and do not regret it for a second. Great color! Even the case is made of high quality material, lightweight and durable. Very comfortable to wear for extended periods (use them for work 6-9h a day). ANC is the best out there in this price range. Audio quality is great with a bit of eq customization. Battery life is as amazing, even with ANC. I've had Bose, previous versions of the XMs, Sennheiser, and Audio Technica. Overall these are the best headphones I've ever owned!

Great but not a fan of matte finish
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound overall is great and customizable with the app, its also an added bonus to create a different listening experience to your choice. The matte finish is a little annoying- not sweat friendly and a little hard to clean up with wipes. Another thing I think that theyre the perfect weight.

Phenomenal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal!! Wow! Feels like a stereo system, download the app if you purchase this. Its a quick download, fine tune the sound then never touch the app again. I bring these to the gym I jog with these, jump road I punch punching bags. If theres an upgraded version of this headphone set i am going to purchase. Sony does everything so much better than Samsung and apple. My 1 complaint is I sing, or yell with these on at the gym so the headohones auto pause to listen to my surrounding. I'm sure I can tweak the app to get rid of that but the voice commands work extremely well its easy to talk to others too. I do blast my music but i make sure i don't risk hearing damage. If you blast headphones, no longer than 15 minute's for your ears, if you listen at a balanced level then you'll go for hours. Do not let moistures or sweat/ rain touch these headphones theyre Exspensive and Great quality. Better gym headphone are bone conduction headphones that wrap around your neck a little

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I consider myself an amateur audiophile but i do lean more bass heavy and these scratch both the detail and bass. I had the XM4 for a brief moment. These feel much lighter. Some may even say they feel cheap but they manage to still feel premium to me. But because they are so light, they almost feel fragile. The noise cancellation is great, best in the industry. I do miss the variable noise canceling of the XM4 instead of just on or off on the XM5. Very comfortable for me. Very light on the head and room for my ears. When reading reviews, remember sound is subjective as well is fit and finish. Try them for yourself.

||Posted .

Theyre lightweight, have exceptional noise cancelation, and outstanding even sound from bottom to top range. Nothing overpowering, just great even sound. My daughter got a pair of the apple airpod max, and while theyre extremely close, i definitely prefer these due to the fact that theyre more comfortable for an extended period of listening. And the battery life is unbelievable - lasts for days. Highly recommended.

My favorite headphones!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used these headphones for the past 2.5 years heavily, in the gym, at work on the go, in the office, studying, relaxing at home, and long commutes. The battery is still kicking butt, and the noise canceling/ambient feature is great for my everyday needs. It’s comfortable over the ear, I can wear it for long periods of time with my glasses on. I bought it on sale during black Friday, but I honestly would buy these again in a heartbeat if mine kick the bucket down the road, it’s definitely worth it for my everyday needs. I recently bought myself a different set of headphones for the gym to be rougher on, (the Sony definitely held up in the gym but I just want to stretch the life longer) I noticed the quality compared to the Sony and the sony feels right with the features you get and worth what youre paying for. My all time favorite headphones!

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved everything about them. The bass is nice and deep and can get really loud. It’s also has the same controls in android/ios. The noise cancellation is really great and same with the transparency. Battery life… Amazing! It even gets 3 hours of playback in just 3 minutes. The touch controls are also really easy to navigate and with just one hand over the cup of the right earphone can turn the music down and turn into transparency mode. It also can detect your ear and pause any playback when you take them off.
