These headphones preform well and sound great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones preform well and sound great. I find the headband orientation to the speakers a little awkward on the head when the speakers are ideally situated on the ears. Not a big deal, but I do notice every time I wear them.

Perfect Set of Headphones (Lightweight)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony M5 headphones are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a high-quality listening experience. One of the standout features of these headphones is the adaptive noise canceling technology, which is truly amazing. With this technology, the headphones are able to analyze the sounds around you and adjust the level of noise canceling accordingly, ensuring that you always get the best sound quality possible. Another feature that really impressed me with the Sony M5 headphones is the Bluetooth connectivity. The blue connection is consistent and does not intermit, which is essential for an uninterrupted listening experience. Whether you're listening to music, watching a movie, or taking a call, you can trust that the connection will stay strong and reliable. Overall, I highly recommend the Sony M5 headphones for anyone who wants a top-of-the-line listening experience. The adaptive noise canceling technology is truly impressive, and the consistent Bluetooth connectivity ensures that you can enjoy your music or other media without any interruptions.

Posted .Hi TyQN, Amazing! We're glad that you like the noise canceling function and sound quality. While the WH1000XM5 units don’t have an IPX rating, a simple walk in the park shouldn’t be of concern. For more serious workouts, we suggest our headphones specifically designed for that task. Check out our WF-C500s and the WF-1000XM4s.
The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thanks for choosing Sony. Erin

Best Mic and Noice cancellation for Zoom meetinga
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried WmX4 and Airpods Max pro before. Both were causing robotic sound while speaking in zoom meetings specially if I use bluetooth mouse and keyboard. WMX5 fixed that problem for me.Sonny’s noice cancellation works better than max, max was more comfortable than wmx4 but wmx5 is the best even after long hours usage. the only concern is that is not waterproof but let’s see.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband bought these for me for Mother’s Day. My daughter and husband already owned a pair. I had beat solos but they would hurt my ears after being on for a little bit. This do not hurt they are very soft. I travel a lot and they work perfect on the plane with the noice cancellation.

Best headphones I’ve ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is on another level. I’m in a park, watching the leaves on the trees rustling in the wind… but i hear only the audio coming from my headphones. There is no need for very high audio volume, when you have the top of the line noise cancelling headphones. I use them everyday. Battery charges so fast and lasts all day and even the next.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Top notch and easy to use. They are also comfortable. I guess the only knock I would have on these is that if you sweat a lot it can get nasty because the cushion is cloth.

Top Tier Headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headset. Expensive, but very comfortable and well-made. This type of electronic equipment shouldn't need very many updates which is one of Sony's weaknesses. From my own experience, Sony tends to sell you great (expensive) products but instead of trying to keep them current with updates, they want to sell you a new version.
