    My second pair, I screwed up my WH1000MX3 and somehow got an electrical buzz in one speaker - it they went. On to the WH1000MX5's first differences, the pads aren't as "thick" so these are our sit "closer" to your head. Second they don't fold like the MX3' did. But these connect to two devices, fit well enough for longer use, handle Ultra high and spatial Music Quality 360° services exceptionally well; Have great noise canceling and new, better mic position, pickup and clarity. The quality is there and while I prefer Van Halen and Rock music, I'm sure today's sampling / autotune crowd will be happy with them too.

      Hello Medicfl1,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the WH1000XM5! We're thrilled to hear that you appreciate the exceptional sound quality and impressive noise canceling feature.

      We understand that the design differences, such as the thinner ear pads and the non-foldable structure, may take some getting used to. However, we're glad to know that the headphones fit comfortably for extended listening sessions and perform remarkably well with high-resolution and spatial audio.

      It's wonderful to hear that you enjoy your music, whether it's Van Halen or today's top hits. Your feedback is invaluable to us and helps us continue to improve our products. Thank you so much for your purchase and for trusting Sony!

      Best regards,

    I was looking for great noise canceling headphones and at first bought Beats. However, I got bad ones and they didn't work. But I realized I didn't like the way they felt on my head and researched more. I found these and I really like them. They are very comfortable. They help me considerate when working. They last VERY long! Probably the longest out there. I love watching movies in my bedroom with them on. They come with an app where you can adjust things the way you like them. I had to figure out how to stop them from cutting off when I was singing because it thought I was talking to someone lol also I like how you can have it connect to multiple devices at once. So I can switch between my imac and iphone when I need to. Calls are great on them. They don't always switch over but everyone can hear me clearly and the calls are clear. I highly recommend. My only suggestion is MAKE SOME PINK ONES! hahaha no seriously, get them you wont be disappointed.

    Pros: - Sound quality is great - Design is very sleek - Case has a premium feel to it Cons: - Does not fold - Takes up so much space in your purse when traveling Personal take: Overall, it is a great product. The cons don’t bother me that much since I use it mostly at home. Whenever I bring it with me outside, it doesn’t leave my head. So, it not folding and taking up space isn’t an issue for me.

    The best noise canceling headphones money can buy

    I've had the XM3, and I've had the XM4, and these by far outshine every single one of them. I actually sold my Bose headphones, which were my second backup versions for traveling, in order to get these, and don't regret it a bit. These completely are the most comfortable and lightweight headphones I've had, I wore them for 6 to 8 hours while traveling in planes, with phenomenal battery life, fantastic sound, and completely solid connectability. The app allows you to seamlessly connect to either two devices, which unfortunately makes you lose LDAC, but otherwise works perfectly. If this is important to you. The noise canceling is absolutely out of this world, you are truly in a world of your own. Are they expensive? Yes, but they are without a doubt the best noise canceling headphones you can buy. I've tried multiple different versions, from Bose, and Sony, these are by far the best ones I've ever had, and definitely will be sticking with them

      Hi AndrewP,

      It’s rewarding to hear that making the switch to the WH-1000XM5 has provided the secure fit and high-quality audio experience you were looking for.

      While the convenience of in-ears is great, our over-ear design offers a different level of stability and immersive sound isolation that stays comfortable even during long listening sessions. We are also glad you took advantage of the Sony Sound Connect app; the ability to customize the EQ settings is a feature we take pride in, as it allows you to fine-tune the audio signature to perfectly match your personal taste.

      Thank you for trusting Sony to deliver your favorite music and media.

    I did a lot of research before purchasing these headphones. I had it down to these, and Skull Candy Crusher Evo. I wanted clear, crisp sound with a good bass response, Noise cancelling was also important. Both headphones had excellent reviews, but I decided on the Sony simply because I’m familiar with the brand, and I’ve never been disappointed. This headset checked all the boxes. With the app’s equalizer, I was able to set the bass as heavy as I wanted…and it sounds amazing. By the way, the app is super easy to navigate. The noise cancelling function is primo. They’re light, and there is no discomfort wearing them for extended periods. Battery life is great. Pairing was simple. Packaging was impressive with a very nice storage case. In my opinion, there are no cons. I really love these headphones, and feel they’re absolutely worth what I paid. Sony has put out an excellent product, and I would definitely recommend these phones to anyone.

    Best headphones I have owned so far. Have used Bose previous to these. Comparable, but the quality on the sound is notably better with these when listening closely. The battery life is also exceptional; I rarely have to think of charging it, & when I do it charges rapidly! The case is built well although slightly large considering the over ear style.

    Had for a year and a half now. I do use them bass heavy but have a slight ting in the left driver. Warranty is out, and at the price of repair I will not be doing that. I take the best possible care of these considering it is the most expensive headphone I have ever purchased. Kind of disappointed on the fact considering the price of these. They are my favorite headphones though, I’ve tried many Bose and others. These have a warm sound and can have heavy bass when using the EQ settings. The ability for the NC to adjust based on your actions is fantastic, multipoint is great. They are a little big on me, I use the fully enclosed and they hurt the top of my head after a while. Also could clamp a little harder but this is different for everyone’s head. These are the best you can buy in this range but with a one year warranty I will not be buying more.

    Works well enough. Sound quality is good. Noise canceling works well. Plenty of intuitive features. The permissions required in the app seem kind of invasive though, and the app is really pushy about you accepting them. I just close the app and restart. Not really an issue if you don't plan on using the app or its features. I get by fine without them for my purposes. One example is that the headphones and app will curate a list of "your top hits" if you allow it access to everything you listen to. That's a huge privacy concern to me. So, if you're also wary of these types of things, just be aware that the app probably won't be much use for you aside from changing sound settings.

    Great sound and noise cancellation. They pair well with Apple devices and android/PC which is ultimately why I got them, bc this one chick in my office is so incredibly loud when she’s on virtual meetings. I can still hear her, but it’s not as distracting. I do like how they are very light and comfortable. The sound and noise cancellation is comparable to the AirMax pros that my husband owns. These are much lighter. Downside is the case is rather bulky, but the AirMax pros only come with a bra-like case, LOL, and they are quite heavier. I do with the case was more hardshell. Right now the case is a canvas covered cardboard like material. If you need compact for frequent travel go with the Beats overear, otherwise, you can’t really beat these. Battery seems to last forever in between maybe an hour of listening.

    I purchased these to replace my AirPods because in ear headphones just want to fall out of my ears and they are uncomfortable for me. These have been an excellent alternative and are incredibly comfortable over my ears. The noise cancellation while on a plane was excellent quality. I also like that I can make these a plug into a jack so when on a plane you can use their jacks if you want to watch in flight entertainment instead of having to purchase an add on. The charge lasts forever and they have been holding a charge for long periods of not using them. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and highly recommend them to anyone looking for similar.

    I bought these because I wanted to upgrade from Audio Technica ATX-M50's. These are admittedly a pretty huge upgrade from the ATX's, however I think they are the best in their price range, especially giving you superior sound quality without getting close to $1000 like its competitors. Everything is very easy to use, phone calls are perfect, bass and audio quality for everything from heavy rap to hard rock to lullaby music is amazing. I am on the autism spectrum and hate flying for many reasons, these made my last 3 hour flight a piece of cake. Lastly, they're very comfortable, even when wearing for several hours. Genuinely, these are a lifesaver for anyone with any kind of sensory issues.

    My Sony WH1000XM5 headphones from Best Buy are like a fairytale for my ears! Noise-canceling? It's like an instant peaceful island getaway - even at family gatherings! Comfort?

    Why did I wait so long to get some over the ear headphones?! These are incredible! Great ANC, amazing sound quality over Bluetooth and 3.5mm, and very comfortable. I use them for music, planes, and games and TV when my wife is sleeping. Controls are intuitive and easy to use. The control app also allows you to choose a custom equalizer similar to choosing an eyeglass prescription (better 1 or 2?) which gives the best sound to your ears. Add to all this, the battery lasts forever. I have used these for easily 10-15 hours and only used 30% battery with ANC on full time. These are not cheap but they are certainly worth it if you want great quality. The only downside is the lack of any waterproofing (the instructions even warn against sweating. But I would still give 5 stars as these are not meant for heavy outdoor/exercise use.
