    These are by far the best headphones I have ever bought. After asking around and trying another major competitor I settled on them. The sound quality is as you’d expect from higher end headphones from Sony, very good. I love the deeper end of the sound. I use them when I work outside because I love the noise canceling. It removes at least half the noise from the lawnmower. I was told they wouldn’t work well with my Xbox because the dialogue would be off. That is wrong. I use them every day and never notice any dialogue or other sounds being “off”. It was well worth what I paid.

      Hi Benjamin, Thank you for the 5-star rating! These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our noiseless design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl Sony_US

    If I could give these a 10 I would! The noise cancelling is insane, the sound is so amazing, they are comfortable as heck. There is an app you can download and personalize the sound, it’s amazing. Only issue I ever have is they drown out too much noise- but that’s also great!

    Comfortable and has great sound quality. The battery lasts a long time. It's also easy to connect via Bluetooth, which I thought would be a downside to choosing these over AirPods to connect with Apple products, but it's really just as convenient.

    I like the headphones. The sound quality and customizability with the EQ is good. ANC is also amazing. The only complaints that I have are that the ear cups make my ears sweat and it’s not really comfortable for extended use. The touch controls are also not my favorite because if I accidentally touch the side then the whole song is interrupted. Overall tho the headphones are great.

    Very comfortable and stylish headphones. Have been able to wear during longer periods like on flights with little fatigue. Probably the best sound cancellation out of the competition. Sound quality is good but not fantastic (likely due to the cancellation filtering).

      Hi DevinC,

      We're truly delighted to hear that you like the excellent noise cancellation and you find it very comfortable to use during long periods of time. To get the most out of your purchase, please ensure you've downloaded the Sony Headphones Connect app. This will give you more control over your headphones and their performance.

      If you feel like you are missing some bass or your music missing a bit of oomph, the Sony Headphones Connect app packs numerous audio presets curated by sound experts. Not everyone finds them perfect, nor are they meant to be. You can find one that suits you the most and tweak it to your preferences. For more details, you may refer to this link.
