Best anc headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product does live up to the hype, but sometimes the auto features on the device is a bit off like it switches to anc and ambient by itself without me doing anything. Maybe its a settings problem but overall if you tune its eq, youll get the best headphones ever.

good but not the best
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good noise cancel. however, the performance is worse than xm4.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi YeQ1,
We appreciate your feedback regarding the noise cancellation on your WH-1000XM5. While these headphones feature an Auto NC Optimizer designed to automatically adjust to your environment, we understand that this can feel different compared to the manual settings of the XM4. To ensure the strongest performance, please verify that you have a firm seal around your ears and consider disabling Adaptive Sound Control in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to prevent the headphones from automatically switching to Ambient Mode.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Review for Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good headphones but if you have glasses, might be hard to get the perfect noise cancellation. other than that no complaints.

Posted .Hi Camm,
Thank you very much for the 4-star review! We are honored to hear you find the WH-1000XM5 to be great headphones and that you have no other complaints about the overall experience.
We sincerely appreciate your detailed feedback regarding wearing the headphones with glasses. We often recommend making sure to run the Noise Cancelling Optimizer feature in the Sony | Headphones Connect app while wearing your glasses, as this can help the headphones adapt the ANC to the slight difference in fit.
We really appreciate you choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Dominick
