    These are literally the best Bluetooth headphones available, but they will break if pushed beyond their meager physical limits. Do not sleep with these headphones on, or you're asking for trouble. Otherwise, they are absolutely amazing. They're a huge upgrade from the XM3 and even XM4.

    I bought this as an upgrade to my Beats Studio 3. Upon listening to these for the first time, I was impressed with the ANC performance, sound, and build quality which is all a step above the Beats. The only negative I can think of is how the case is larger than the Beats' case but other than that it is perfect. I also enjoyed the Sony app and all the features it offered.

    Overall great product, worth it when on sale just unfortunate sound stage where sounds behind and in front sound very similar especially when gaming, though the treble is very responsive so footsteps are very audible, bass is a little muffled but still good. Music sounds amazing. Unfortunate the application to enhance bass, med and treble only works for phones. 4/5 stars overall, 3.5/5 for games

      Hi DanielB!
      We are excited to hear you're enjoying your WH-1000XM5 headphones! It's great that you were able to get them on sale and that they're working so well for music.
      However, we apologize that you're not completely satisfied with the sound stage for gaming with your headphones. We understand it can be frustrating when sounds in front and behind sound similar. We also appreciate your feedback on the bass and the app's functionality.

      We do have a great Inzone H9 Gaming Headset that's specifically designed for gaming and spatial sound. We hope you'll give them a try!

      Thank you for considering Sony products and for your feedback!
