Power and battery issue.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still getting use to the power and battery settings. Seems like the sensor doesn't work to turn them off when placed in the case. Also irritating is I can't listen and charge. I have had to use my old buds for important meetings that don't work great due to this. However everything else so far is great.

Not So Great
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as good as the previous gen or even the ones before that which I have used before. I purchased these I immediately regretted it. Made me miss the wh-1000xm3. For me the only good I can say is how light they feel. The worst part of my experience with these was listening gets paused so frequently.

Great Cans, Minor Inconveniences
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a Christmas present for me, so I’ve been using it for about a week now. This is an overall great headset with only two minor problems. One, if you wear glasses with these you will experience sound leakage, and two, after wearing these for three hours or more with glasses, your ears may start to hurt. At least, mine did. If it weren’t for those two issues, I would have rated it five stars.

More Than Ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio quality isn’t as good as the XM4 even though they are more comfortable, and connection issues ensue when connecting more than one or two devices even when using the intended app with the headphones. The battery life is abysmal compared to any of the headphones I’ve had before whether it be Sony/Bose/Beats/Apple.

Posted .Hello Bagel,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We apologize for the difficulties you have experienced with the WH1000XM5 headphones, including the audio quality, connection issues with multiple devices, and battery performance.
We suggest trying the equalizer in the Sony Sound Connect app to adjust the sound settings such as bass to better suit your preferences. You can follow the instructions here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00286844.
To address connection problems when using multiple devices, please try these steps:
Reset the headset to clear temporary bugs without deleting pairing information. Instructions are available at: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541012.html.
If resetting does not resolve the issue, perform a factory reset to restore the headset settings fully. Please note this will erase all pairing data. You can find detailed instructions here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541013.html.
