      Hi PurnasekharP,

      We feel privileged to know that you are enjoying the sound quality and battery life of your WH-1000XM5 and that you're happy to recommend them!

      The excellent sound you mentioned is the result of our 30 mm precision-engineered driver unit, which features a unique carbon fiber composite dome to improve high-frequency sensitivity for more natural, detailed audio. To keep that premium sound going, we designed these headphones with up to 30 hours of battery life even with noise canceling on. Plus, for those times you're in a hurry, our quick charging feature gives you up to 3 hours of playback from just a 3-minute charge with a compatible adapter, ensuring your music is always ready when you are.

      Thank you for trusting Sony.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    *ANC is great *situational ANC/pass through feature is nice to have *sound quality is pretty good even after playing with the EQ but not totally immersive *build quality is great - though I am pretty careful about the headband, it doesn't inspire rugged confidence. soft goods feel soft and compliant *excellent battery life and battery charge rate *being able to connect to my phone and PC and having it seamlessly transition based on use case is amazing *had an issue with the XM5 randomly turning off, used it for about 400 hours total - spoke to Sony CS 3 times over 4 months and they only suggested factory resets if I hadn't already updated my firmware. On the third time they decided to do a warranty replacement on my XM5 - it took 2+ weeks total for a replacement because they sent me the wrong color on the first replacement.

      Hi Andrew, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review of your WH1000XM5. We're glad you like the exceptional noise cancellation, great ANC/ambient sound mode feature, great sound and built quality, comfortable fit, excellent battery life, and multipoint function of your new Sony XM5.


      We understand the frustration caused by the random shutdown issue you encountered. This is usually not the case for our headphones nor the experience we want you to have.

    Pretty good great when you set to your personal eq. Very comfy. Not worth moving up from the 4s. To me they were ok upgrading from the 3s but still the 4s the better price if you don’t want the best out of the lineup/more compact.

    Really nice pair of headphones. Only problem for me is that it does not clamp hard enough especially when laying down. Sometimes the earcup will tilt and ruin the seal for the anc. Other than that, great sound, super light, good battery. Used on a plane and was really nice on it. Worth the price? Debatable.

    The sound is great, but just a bit behind the Sennheiser competitor IMO (I tried both). Noise canceling is outstanding. I didn't care for the app and couldn't find a equalizer setting that really made me happy, but that's a minor nitpick. The head band and ear cups are comfortable; however, moving around and laying on the couch while listening, these wouldn't stay in place on my head. Surely that won't be an issue for everyone.
