    comfortable headphones - I have glasses and I cannot have the headphones too tight. These stay on nicely and don't feel like they will damage my glasses. sound quality - is excellent. I've got a music service that these headphones can take advantage of for better sound. battery life - haven't really tested this. Although they have lasted all day while I travel. style - i like the simplistic design on the headphones and the color does stand out a bit, but i don't want to forget it anywhere so I need it to be different. wireless - Bluetooth is really good on these cans. I love being able to walk around the house and not worry about dropouts.

    They are great headphones! The WH-1000XM5 have quite the exceptional sound quality. It’s as if I’m in the very room whatever I’m listening to is recorded. It has an easy set up and the look and feel of the headphones are top notch. They are comfortable and fit snuggly in your ears. The application it comes with helps you set up the headphones to you deep off and unique needs. Battery life is outstanding , I use it most of the day and only need to charge it once or twice a week. Recommending the headphones is a no-brainer. If your looking for quality headphones that will last your for years, then this is your choice. It’s a must!

    I bought these headphones for my boyfriend for Christmas last year and he LOVES them. I fell in love them them too, so much so that I bought a pair for myself! The sound, is crystal clear, and full and the headphones are soooo light and cozy, yet dont slip at all. We can both wear them for hours and totally forget we have them on.

    Oh my.... These are the best pair of wireless headphones I've owned. I was daily driving the wf-1000xm4 ear buds. But my ears get fatigued pretty easily. I decided I would get a pair of headphones to switch it up. Since I liked the features that came with the Sony xm4 ear buds, I thought I'd give the WH-1000xm5 a try. I've only had it for less than a week but I have become obsessed with them to the point where I spend most of my day wearing them. Sound quality is pretty nice, The ANC works nicely, The touch features are pretty cool, and The battery lasts ridiculously long. So as far as cons go, I can say that The touch feature can get annoying if you're just adjusting the headset. It doesn't annoy me too much but if it did the touch feature can always be turned off with the app. Other issues I have are software related, which are not deal breakers when considering the overwhelming positives.

    These headphones are really nice, i can’t compare them to others bc i usually have airpods. I would say the noise cancellation is high quality, and they are also comfortable, i do feel a bit of a headache if i leave them on for too long bc they are a little heavy. Recently it has been turning off my sound cancelling which was really annoying but it’s a click of a button to fix and maybe i have something in the settings that makes it do that. I’d recommend them but only if ur willing to spend the hefty $400+tax price. The sound is amazing, and you can get the app which allows you to change how you hear the music, more bass etc.. but listening to the 4’s in store they sound similar, the 5’s are just a bit crisper and i like the look of them more. Also I have charged them once in like mid sept (posting 10/6) and the battery is amazing i think i’m at 40%. the case is a little bulky but i don’t mind bc it still fits in my bag

    I was in the market for new headphones and tried the Bose QC Ultra, as my previous pair were the QC 45s. For some reason, I could not get the Bose headphones to connect to my PC for the life of me. After lots of failed troubleshooting, I ended up returning the Bose headphones and grabbed the Sony WH-1000XM5 instead. They instantly connected to my PC with no issues whatsoever. My music, videos, and games sound great, and the color and finish on is super clean. I also really like the carrying case. In short, I definitely recommend going with Sony if you want seamless connectivity across devices.

    Bought these for my son for Christmas. He was very impressed with the noise cancellation and swipe touch features on the unit themselves. They look really sharp (along with the case). I personally have had a set of this same product but about 6 years older. They are holding up very well and big fan of this product line from Sony.

    By far the best sounding headphones I’ve ever owned, listen to your favorite song and there’ll be instruments and subtle sounds you never noticed before. The battery lasts for days and days. Microphones are excellent for calls. The lack of lag is magical on wireless headphones, similiar to Logitech’s lightspeed headphones but without a big extruding usb dongle. The materials are so soft and comfortable. The noise cancelling is unmatched. They’re expensive but you get what you pay for on every level, these are the best consumer headphones money can buy and the last pair you’ll ever need to buy.

    Phenomenal!! Wow! Feels like a stereo system, download the app if you purchase this. Its a quick download, fine tune the sound then never touch the app again. I bring these to the gym I jog with these, jump road I punch punching bags. If theres an upgraded version of this headphone set i am going to purchase. Sony does everything so much better than Samsung and apple. My 1 complaint is I sing, or yell with these on at the gym so the headohones auto pause to listen to my surrounding. I'm sure I can tweak the app to get rid of that but the voice commands work extremely well its easy to talk to others too. I do blast my music but i make sure i don't risk hearing damage. If you blast headphones, no longer than 15 minute's for your ears, if you listen at a balanced level then you'll go for hours. Do not let moistures or sweat/ rain touch these headphones theyre Exspensive and Great quality. Better gym headphone are bone conduction headphones that wrap around your neck a little

We love your dedication to both your fitness and your hearing health!

    As a student, being able to have a nice and quiet environment to work in is crucial to my studies, and with the XM5's I can turn virtually any environment into just that. I have taken these headphones to school every day, including track meets and long bus rides, and I can vouch that these are super comfortable. No matter where I go, as long as I have even a little bit of volume on my music, I can not hear the background. I even use these as home since they are just so comfortable. I would say that they are on the pricy side, so it might not be the best choice for everyone. All in all, these headphones are great, and I don't regret getting them at all, I use them every single day, and I love the audio quality.

    I use the XM5 for both my Windows Laptop and iPhone. It's amazing! The fact these headphones have 30 hours' worth of battery life, and customizable EQ settings (they only apply to my iPhone) make this worth my $400. Yes you can use the XM5 with Windows. I have not experienced any audio/visual delay during use. You can configure the headphone properties in Sound settings, and enable bass boost if you like. From what I can hear, the EQ settings I configure with the Sony Headphones only apply to my phone, not my laptop. Nonetheless, if you set them right, you can make one of the best listening experiences possible. For loud work (i.e. vacuuming the house), they do an excellent job cancelling noise. The case is stylish and easy to use. Unfortunately these headphones don't fold like their predecessor. Overall, this product is awesome. I'm glad I bought it.
