Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Awesome headset. Great sound, very comfortable, but stylish

Comfortable, light, amazing sound quality, excelent noise canceling.

I loved my 1000XM3s. They were my daily driver headphones for over 2 years. When they finally died on me, I decided to try the Apple AirPods Max. Wow what a mistake that was. They were bulky, heavy, and did not sound nearly as good as I would have hoped for their cost. I returned the AirPods for these Sonys, which were on sale for about half the price of the AirPods. These sound SO MUCH more premium and are infinitely more comfortable. I wish these would fold up a little smaller, but I have no real complaints about them. I love that I can use these as Bluetooth or with an INCLUDED aux cable.

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.

If you can stomach the price, they sound great and the wireless connection is quite good. (Not AS convenient as other headphones; if you use the LDAC codec you can't use multipoint connections.) They sound just a bit cleaner than the XM4 but lose some of the bass punch. I prefer my Shure Aonic 50s for listening to music, but these are still great. The carrying case is also notably bulkier than the XM4s, as these don't fold in on themselves. They look fairly cool, and are pretty comfortable for hours on end, but - especially since it has touch controls - the black finish collects fingerprint oil very fast (seems the silver has a different texture/feel and doesn't have that problem). Fast charging, good battery life, decently low latency despite not being Apt-X-LL. They do actually perform great as headphones for phone calls, vastly better than others I've tried. No one has yet said anything negative about the call quality. The carrying case is bulkier than the XM4.

These headphones are quite impressive for at a inexpensive price. The sound quality with noise cancelation adds to its great functionality. The material, weight, adjustable fit, battery life, and user-friendly interface connection are additional great features as well.

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!

Excellent product. Sound quality and noise cancelling features are great. Sits comfortably on the ears. Keeps charge for a while. I do wish they were a little louder though.

Phenomenal headphones, ANC, noise isolation, pass through mode, comfort, battery life. These headphones are worth it

My first high end headphones, and I am already impressed by the sound it delivers while listening to music or watching movies. Since I have several Apple products, I was initially considering the AirPods Max, but it didn’t justify the price difference with these Sony headphones. I can’t compare both since there was no AirPods Max on display at the Best Buy store. Noise canceling is top notch on these Sony XM5 headphones, just used it on a 16-hr flight and I could barely hear any aircraft noise while watching For All Mankind episodes on my iPhone. Bass are good but not too much, dialogues are clear. Battery is very good, after watching 4 episodes and listening music for couple hours, I still had around 80% battery left. I also used the headphones for work with Teams on a Windows laptop. Easily paired with the laptop, and can be switched between laptop and iPhone without any problem. I have also been told my voice is very clear when I talk on Teams meeting.

Best headphones ever! Perfect for bass, and noise cancellation & I love the app! They fit so perfectly & comfortably!!! Battery last long! My ears don’t hurt & comfortable nicely on my head.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are extremely comfortable and the sound quality is amazing, although after only having them for less than a year I can say that the build quality of the hinges are terrible, as mine broke without me even being present in the same room as them.

I bought these a couple of months ago and I overall really like them! They have exccelent noise cancelling and great connectivity. The music and shows I listen to are always really clear. Battery life is also excellent. *** However, the band can get pretty uncomfortable after using for a couple hours, and I don’t love that they can’t fold.

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

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.

Picked these up on sale to replace my old xm3s, I like these so much better. On/off detection is my favorite feature upgrade going from the 3s to the 5s, definitely saves on battery life for my forgetful self. They are also much lighter and more comfortable when wearing for long periods. I gave them a nice 12 hour trial run right after getting them and was plesently surprised how little ear fatigue I had. After wearing the xm3s that long I'd start twitching above the ear, nothing like that with the 5s. They're really good at switching between devices. I switch between my phone (android), iPad, and laptop (windows) quite a bit and haven't had to manually toggle the connection at all so far. I wish it was a little more visually clear which side is left vs right. They are labeled, but it's kinda hard to see in low light and I can never remember which side the power button goes on and always seem to miss it when I'm feeling for it to put them on.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones deliver exceptional sound quality and industry-leading noise cancellation, making them a top choice for audiophiles and travelers alike. The comfortable design ensures a perfect fit for long listening sessions, while touch controls and voice assistant integration add convenience. Battery life is impressive, offering up to 30 hours of playback on a single charge. While the price point may be higher than some competitors, the premium features justify the investment. Overall, these headphones provide an ultimate listening experience.

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.

Light weight, ease of use, battery last a long time and comfortable
