    Truly the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. The audio quality is incredible and the call quality is quite impressive too according to my colleagues who've noticed. I love the feature that connects to multiple devices and is able to switch between the two. The noise cancelling is very impressive and make these an all around great everyday pair of headphones.

    Sony has fallen far from their original quality. I was able to compare these with the Bose and Apple equivalents. Sony came in 2nd after Apple! Why? The sound quality and noise cancellation is good, but not the best.

      Hi AlexisG, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the sound quality and noise canceling feature of WH1000XM5. It's important to acknowledge the aspects of your feedback. The WH-1000XM5 indeed prioritizes sound quality with an option to adjust this via the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. It offers two modes: "Priority on sound quality" and "Priority on stable connection". Although the WH-1000XM5 is designed to deliver high-quality sound and effective noise cancellation, individual preferences and experiences with audio quality can vary, leading to different comparisons with products from other brands. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl Sony_US

    This is challenging. They sound really good, but I got them because of their ability to connect to multiple devices. First issue was they have problems with windows 10. So I had to jump through hoops to get them to work. I have been using them at work for about a week now. To be honest I plan on returning them. After a few hours of wearing them my ears are very sore. Their features are very cool for the noise cancelation. The way you can have the sound stop when you talk. Really cool while wearing them in an office setting....unless you have a cold or cough. Yeah they shut down for 10 secs with every cough. My main reason for returning them is I don't feel they are worth the $300.00 I spent on them.
