    As a very noise sensitive individual, this has been a life saver for my day-to-day life. The noise cancelling works wonders and theres so many small but significant quality of life features.

    I use it for tv listening so I am not looking for headphones of audiophile quality, just clear dialogue. Sound quality is great so it meets my needs. A little pricy so I hope the plastic holds up and does not start breaking like my last pair (a different brand).

    The problem I have with these headphones is that they don’t connect with the PlayStation Bluetooth. Both Sony products and I feel this is very inconvenient. There is also no way to find them with an Apple product

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi Cisco,

      Thanks for posting your feedback on the WH1000XM5 headphones!

      We understand and appreciate your frustration with these specific issues, especially as they relate to other Sony and Apple products. You've brought up two very important points, and here is some information on each:

      1) PlayStation Bluetooth Connectivity: The WH-1000XM5 headphones do not support a direct Bluetooth connection with the PlayStation console. While they are both Sony products, PlayStation consoles are designed to use their own proprietary wireless connection for controllers and dedicated gaming headsets (such as the INZONE or PULSE series) to ensure a stable, low-latency audio experience crucial for gaming. As a workaround, many users have success using the included 3.5mm audio cable to connect the headphones directly to the PlayStation controller.

      2) "Find My" Feature with Apple Products: The WH-1000XM5 does not support Apple's "Find My" network. However, we do offer a similar feature within the Sony | Headphones Connect app. This "Find device" feature can help you locate the headphones if they are connected to your phone and within a short range.

      We understand these limitations can be inconvenient, and we sincerely appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Your feedback is very valuable to our product development teams as we continue to improve our products and user experience.

      Thanks for choosing Sony!

      Sincerely,
      Jenn | Sony North America. Sony_US
