      Thank you for your honest feedback, Fnr32!

      We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the lightweight design and solid build of the WH-1000XM5. Since these are tuned for high-fidelity clarity, pushing the volume to the max can sometimes tax the drivers. To help with that distortion, you might try using the Manual EQ settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to slightly lower the lower-frequency sliders when listening at peak volumes.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    I upgraded from a pair of Sony WH1000-XM2 headphones. Almost everything is better, from the noise canceling and the comfort to the USB-C charging. The only thing that took a little getting used to is the tones that replace the voice prompts. I even tested the mics, and the non-voice noise is almost eliminated. Best WFH/study aid I could hope for!

    If you are looking for a headphone that packs a punch this is the one. This is the best headphone for the price range and sound quality. Sound is great and the battery life is exceptional and it works well with the iPhone app and android and don’t have any lag or issues with it. The only downside is it outside will get stained if you have greasy or messy fingers. Other than that great product! Would Recommend!

    The reason I didnt give it a full five was because of the sony app you need to download to change a few things on your headphones. An example of this would be the speech detection, I woul talk and audio would cut off, so overall you could talk and listen at the same time. Unless of course you changed it in the app. Nonetheless its a great product, amazing audio and are comfortable around the ear!
