Nice sound quality, good battery.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got them for flying, but now using them at the desk when working a lot. Battery life is great, Type C charging is a big plus, App for Android works 100% of the time, and have had not issues switching audio from a laptop, Desktop and phone! Noise canceling is great hear almost no plane noise, and the audio still sounds great. Placing a hand over the right ear will turn on ambient sound, thought that was lame but turns out to be very nice to have.

bessttttt headphones
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I have ever used. They are comfy, sleek, and very much noise cancelling. I put them on sometimes even without music just to block out noise and they are perfect. Not to mention the sound. The sound on these is heaven, it amplifies the noise in a way no other headphones can compare. It’s 100% worth the price

Simple Review, One Big Warning Before Purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They have amazing sound quality and great connectivity just make sure that they are fully updated. Some issues I had in beginning were simply resolved once I updated them, and haven't had a connection issues since. But because this a quick review one known issues with these headphones is the there swivel point failing over time if not taking care of. So if purchasing make sure to use the provided case. Because of this known issue its not getting a 5 but a solid 4. Would i recommend? Yes but keeping in mind that handle with care for a long lasting life.

Posted .Thank you for your detailed review of the WH-1000XM5 headphones, JoseL. It's great to hear that you found the sound quality amazing and connectivity issues resolved once fully updated. Regarding the swivel point issue, it is crucial to handle these headphones with care to avoid wear and tear over time. As you mentioned, using the provided case is an excellent precaution to extend the device's life, especially to prevent damage to the swivel point, which can fail if overstressed.
We appreciate your honest feedback and recommendation, even with the noted issue. Your review helps potential customers make an informed decision while emphasizing the importance of proper handling and storage for optimal longevity. Thank you for taking the time to share your insights and for choosing us.

I love these!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from the XM3's I bought in 2018 and I love them and how much more comfortable they are. A bit pricey but I know that I'll run these into the ground before I replace them. The ANC doesn't seem to be as strong but it isn't very off putting. The app is pretty convenient and the music is just as crisp and clear as it always is with Sony. Too bad these aren't really meant to workout in so I'll have to go ahead and buy some earbuds. Overall I'm very satisfied with the product.

Clarity
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a nice pair of over the ear headphones when these caught my eye. I think apart from the sound quality, the design is a nice form and not too bulky. As soon as I put them on the first time, the first thing was the bass response. Overall sound is tight, punchy and articulate.

Worth it...
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At this price you'd expect to get a certain level of sound quality and these Sony's deliver. Battery life comfort user friendly in every aspect. Best of all is the sound. The detail is incredible no booming bass or mind numbing highs. Crisp detailed sound best describes these things. Give them a listen you won't regret it.
