    WH-5000XM5 REVIEW

    Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Although the sound quality and noise cancelling are unbeatable in the modern day over-ear headphone league, the XM5's began to deteriorate very quickly and the hinges began to break after normal wear. I believe that for $400 it should at least last 5 years, but only managed to survive 2.

    Sound is on par with all Sony headphones. Fit is less than desirable. Going from the XM4, the fit of the XM5 is not as good as the XM4. The bar is not as wide, and with less padding in the muffs, along with less tension, the headphones slip around more when leaning forward and backward. If they sound better than the XM4, I can't tell. If the XM4 wasn't still more expensive than the 5's, I would have bought the 4's again.

      Hi 12345, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your new Sony WH1000XM5. While we're glad to hear that you're enjoying the great sound quality, we regret to learn that you find the comfort level of the XM5 is not as good as the XM4. We understand that finding the perfect fit can vary from person to person. To ensure a comfortable fit and to use the unit for longer periods, please adjust the left and right slider. This unit also has super-soft, pressure-relieving earpads foamed urethane that evenly distributes pressure. If you have any specific suggestions or features you'd like to see, feel free to share them with us. Your insights are important to us as we work to meet and exceed your expectations. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US
