      Hi GERange, Great! We're glad that you like the comfort, sound quality, and features. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thanks for choosing Sony. Erin Sony_US

    The Best for Noise Cancellation and Call Quality

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The main reason to buy these is noise cancelling and call quality. They considerably outperformed my Air Pod Max's, especially the microphone. I was surprised, that the microphone quality is also considerably better than my Air Pod Pro 2's. It is very nice to be able to adjust the level of transparency. Their sound quality for music is good, but not really better than the Air Pod Pro 2's (if you fully configure them). Without question, Air Pod Max's sound better if music is your main focus.

    Noise canceling worked well. Music sounded okay, a little too much bass in my opinion but some people prefer that. I ended up returning these though for comfort reasons. The headphones have some weight to them and the headband is very narrow so it ends up putting a lot of pressure on the top of your head. For long plane flights or working at a coffee shop, I needed something comfortable and this was not it.

      Hi Nick,

      We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you were not satisfied with the bass quality and comfort of the headphones. With the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can use the equalizer function to fine-tune the sound quality to your needs. For optimum fit and comfort, it is recommended to wear the headphones properly and adjust the headband depending on your head shape.

      Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. Rest assured that your feedback will help us improve our products and services.

      Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

      Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with the WH-1000XM5, NinelM! We're thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the high-quality noise cancellation and that our headset has become your top choice.

      Regarding your mention of handwashing the case, we appreciate your attention to keeping your accessories clean. While it’s important to maintain your headphones and their case, we recommend following Sony’s official care instructions to ensure long-term performance and avoid accidental damage. For most Sony headphone models, it’s best to clean cases with a dry, soft cloth, and to avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as some cases may not be water-resistant and moisture could lead to malfunction or affect their longevity.

      Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Sony. We hope your WH-1000XM5 headphones continue to provide an exceptional listening experience!

      Best regards,
      Gus

      Hi HugoH, We are thrilled to hear that you love everything about your WH-1000XM5. Having read your review regarding the low sound level, check the volume on the connected device as well as on the headphones. You may also play different song with different quality to further isolate the issue. High-quality songs will give you louder audio. From there, you can use the Sony sound connect app to adjust the sound to your liking. Make sure to update the firmware of the headphones by performing a software update. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Pros Great sound quality Very comfortable and lightweight Good looking Cons Poorly made Too many accidental touches on the touch mechanism of ear head Speak to Hear is one of the worst feature which is auto on when. Need to install the app to turn it off for every device you connect Poorly made hinge. Sony has some problem with all their previous headphones where the hinges brake. And they dont want to do anything about it. $400 heaphone poor made hinges not covered in warranty. Not worthy to buy. Luckily I bought it from bestbuy with GeekSquad warranty.
