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

      Hi Whayves, Thank you for choosing Sony! Awesome gift! 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. -Carl Sony_US

    Had the XM4 and exchanged it for these. Sound qaulty is more smooth on these but bass is nowhere near the xm4. The xm4 eould make your ears vibrate. Not the same feeling with these.

      Hi Anonymous,

      While we're glad that you like the sound quality, we would like to apologize if you feel the bass is not sufficient on your WH-1000XM5 headphones. If you haven't yet, please try to follow the troubleshooting steps below.

      To ensure an optimal listening experience, downloading the Sony Headphones Connect app lets you adjust your bass levels and gives you different sound modes. There is even an EQ in there—which can be customized to fine-tune your music to your liking. You can edit the volume of the CLEAR BASS. Increasing the CLEAR BASS setting value allows your headphones to reproduce dynamic deep bass without distortion, even at a high volume.

      NOTE: When the audio source does not contain much bass sound, the bass sound may not be audible.

      If you are unable to resolve your concern, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

    These headphones broke in less than 4 months. Randomly broke on this super cheap and thin plastic piece that connects one ear to the band when I was laying down, didn't even drop them or anything. Do not recommend to purchase unless you buy the warranty. For such expensive headphones you'd think the hinges would be made of metal. I would not recommend to buy them when they're so expensive. Best buy could not do anything to help.
