    Bought head phones for my grandson for birthday. Sales person told us just go to cashier, tell what we want and they will get for us. Everything went very quickly. We were in and out and didn’t even get a hamburger, lol

    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.

      Hi AngeluzH, Great! You definitely made the right choice. We're glad you're enjoying all the improvements we made on these headphones. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. While the WH-1000XM5 units don’t have an IPX rating, a simple workout shouldn’t be of concern. We recommend you practice caution when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Poor Construction

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought my set in july 2024. I am very careful with my audio gear. After 8 months, the right piece broke off. A little gorilla glue and it was reattached. 2 weeks later, the left unit broke off. Sony wont fix it and the Allstate extended warranty is impossible to communicate with. So, do I spend another $400 to replace them? Would you?

    Great Cans, Minor Inconveniences

    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.

    So i took these on a trip with a group of people to test the noise cancellation and was kinda disappointed that i could still hear my friends in the background while in the car driving to our destination. I had previous pairs and never complained but maybe these were defective but the music coming out was A1 but the noise cancellation was a big NO.

      Hi Markus we're sorry to hear that the noise canceling function did not meet your expectations. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have with our premium products. Allow us to help and turn this into a better experience.

      You can toggle between noise canceling and letting the ambient noises, simply use the button on the side of the headphones. You also have the ability to fully control the noise canceling and ambient noise feature within the Sony Headphones Connect App. Please ensure you have downloaded from the app store.
