Definitely worth the splurge
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using my headphones for a few months now, and it has been the best purchase that I’ve made this year. I was blown away at the noise-cancelling quality, and love that it has the feature to opt into the noise for a quick convo without taking the headphones off!

Worth the price tag!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these every day! The noise cancelling is great, and I love that I’m able to connect to 2 devices via Bluetooth simultaneously. Not the best for workouts, they tend to slide off my head but it’s manageable.

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally i was going to get the XM4s then i was like lets go up-to-date. I do not regret my decision at all. These are hands down best headsets i ever owned. The noise canceling down to the sleek design is superior.

Great upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much improved upgrade over my previous M3s. In choosing between the WH1000XM5s and Apple's AirPod Max, these were the clear winner.

Great sounds but asthetics needs revamping
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the high quality sound, however from reading the reviews it seems as if Sony took away the features that would’ve made it perfect. ie; the easy bluetooth setup & the folding feature foe easy packing. Bluetooth pairing button flimsy. If it works well why downgrade? Was it a cost thing? because its still very expensive. Im tempted to get the earlier model for the convenience.

Light soft and good fit.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter loves it. She even uses them at the gym. I tried them on and fit well, were soft, and didn't heat up compared to some other ones, we have tried them in the past. They are worth the expense in the long run.

Not for me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good sounding headphones but compared to my air pods pro 2 that I’m so use too the Sonys lack a lot in bass and a little in noise cancellation. Overall very comfortable and well built but lack in sound quality on iPhone.

Good sound, ANC, poor head band.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio is great. Noise canceling is better than my 4 year old Bose QC2s. Ear cups fit me perfectly, but a bit toasty. The biggest downside is the head band. It's incredibly narrow so the weight is all focused on that narrow bit and after about an hour wearing them your head starts hurting. Otherwise great.
