It is fantastic to know that your son is loving his gift! We are so glad that the WH-1000XM5 is providing a comfortable fit for him, as we specifically engineered these with a "soft fit" leather headband and a lightweight design to make long listening sessions effortless. These headphones represent our best in noise-canceling technology, utilizing two processors and eight microphones to silence everything from city noise to voices, ensuring he can enjoy the high-quality, high-resolution audio without any distractions.

Bose replacement
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were a gift and they really them. I tried them in store…liked the comfort, lightweight, one piece, transparent feature without taking off earcup, nice sound. Cons, price, thought Bose had the crisper sound but the overall comfort won me over to give Sony a try.

Nice Headphone
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice headphones with good nice cancellation feature. I use it with my laptop for office work and connecting the blue tooth every time i put my headphone done, it takes me a while to connect it again. Apart from that, it is a good product.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, Payal!
We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying the good noise cancellation on your WH-1000XM5! It’s the perfect tool for staying focused during office work.
Regarding that Bluetooth delay, we definitely want to make your workday smoother! A great way to fix this is by using the "Multi-point Connection" feature in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. This allows your headphones to stay paired to both your phone and your laptop at the same time, so you won't have to manually reconnect every time you put them back on.
Also, checking that your Windows "Swift Pair" setting is toggled On can make that initial handshake almost instant!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Sony!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely amazing product which is to be expected from Sony, has top notch microphones for audio calls and the sound is deep and powerful but crisp ive been using theses for a few months and I Absolutely love them but I also switch between my Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra they both have positives and negatives but I personally lean more towards Sony for sound quality but I do wish that they would implement a similar feature to Bose's immersive sound function but I would definitely recommend getting these especially if you're on a tighter budget

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using the Sony WH-1000XM5s for a bit now and I seriously love them. The sound is super clean, the bass feels really good, and the noise canceling is actually insane. They’re crazy comfortable too, so I can wear them for hours without even thinking about it. Plus the battery lasts forever and they switch between my devices without me doing anything. Honestly, they just make everything I listen to sound better. I’m really glad I got them.

Enhanced
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It definitely feels more comfortable than WH-1000XM4, although it can no longer be folded when stored. The noise cancelling is also more superior than the previous one. I had a super noisy neighbor (super annoying) that plays heavy beats overnight and this headphone certainly helps.

10/10 Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a big audio person, both playing in bands, running sound equipment for bands, and just listening to a lot of music. I love these headphones. I've gone through a few looking for the right thing, these are it. Sound quality is great and perfect with some EQ work. Transparency mode is surprising quite good. Not airpods good, but still good. I can easyily carry on a conversation while using transparency. They look amazing, especially in white. But of a pale cream white with a slight tint of tan. Looks good. It works on wired mode as well. Noise cancelling is really good and has different modes you can tinker with on the app. It has some features I don't use, like auto transparency when I talk but it's still nice to have sometimes. Battery lasts forever as well. I go days without charging them. Highly highly recommend these if you can afford them as they are a bit pricey.

Highly recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great design, innovative features, and wonderful app support. Not my loudest pair of headphones, but definitely the best I've owned. Battery life is ridiculously good; I once used them for about eight hours a day, for threes days before needing to charge them. The headphones are still pretty new, so the battery is fresh, but I couldn’t believe it and this is around my tenth pair of over the ear headphones. A couple of cons are; sometimes I hear static when I’m near a passing train ( near as in waiting for the train on the platform), and I sometimes like to place the headphones above my ears while I listen so that I can hear the sounds around me as well as the music. The headphones with recognize that they are not on my ears and go into sleep mode ( I could easily fix this in the app). All and all, I give them a 9.5/10

Posted .Hi AzizT, we definitely appreciate your detailed review of our product. Glad you are enjoying your new headphones! We understand your feedback regarding the static noise you hear sometimes. Some devices that emit ultrasonic sound waves designed to repel rodents may occasionally be installed at the entrances of commercial facilities or subway stations. Near such devices, the ultrasonic sound waves may cause noise or unusual sound to be heard from the headset. Leave the place where the noise or unusual sound is heard. Or turn off the noise canceling function/Ambient Sound Mode from the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. Please follow this link for more information:

Best Headphones Out There
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are a step up from the Beats Solo I had for over 7 years. These feels more premium and the sound quality exceeds my expectations. Battery life is superb, can go almost a month without having to recharge. What I particularly enjoy is the feature to place my hand over the ear cup to temporarily enable transparency and listen to the sound around me.
