Amazing product, the sound quality. Its so light weight and just great for everyday day use. No ear pain.

I appreciate the comfortability and longevity of these headphones. The battery lasts forever and the sound quality is top notch, even better than the XM4’s that I have.

I loved my wired headphones I had/have. My Great Dane took them out. Both the headphone jack on the compter and the cord. I can't live without headphones and I've been toying with the idea of getting a pair of BT. I do own two pair of BT earbuds that I had used for my phone calls, but they are buds. I put these Sonys on and turned on the NC and....WOW!!! I was amazed on how much noise was just in my house/office. I use them mostly for my computer, which I am at 12 plus hours a day. Sound is great, but not as good as my wired headphones and I love not being tethered to my my computer. They are very comfortable and light weight. I have to take a break now and again from the headphones to let my ears dry out, they get a little hot after awhile. I have gotten use to them now after one month of use. The app on the phone was easy to use once I nosed around and setup my headphones to my taste. Battery life is great, but would like more. I do get at least two days worth, if not three. And they charge fast. Took me a minute to figure out how to charge them. The cable Sony provides is a waste of time, it's literally 3" long UCB A to C. So I dug in my collection of electronic junk box and found myself a old phone charger that met the specs needed. Only problem I had was after an update on the headphones and then an update on the Bluetooth on the computer. The headphones slowly started to do weird stuff and after day of use, they were unusable. So I reset them and also restarted my computer and all has been great since. I have used them a several phone calls and no one had anything bad to say. Only thing I didn't like, was my sound of my own voice, it sounds muffled to me, not the person on the other side. And while we're talking about phone connection. I love the fact I can be connected to both my computer and phone at the same time. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Now if we can get to three or four things. I had planned to set up my old LED TV with a Bluetooth transmitter and use these.

Lightweight. Sleek design. GREAT audio! Good for audio calls. Sometimes disconnects to iPhone and MacBook. Headphones don’t fold so the case is bulky.

The good: These are comfortable and i am able to wear them all day. Sound is good. Battery usually lasts me around three work days. (36 hours) It seems they are built sturdier than the XM4. The bad: Expensive Not as comfortable as the XM4 headphones. Noise cancelling is a bit of a let down. Has issues connecting to my PC after updating to Windows 11

The Sony XM5 headphones are a true masterpiece in the realm of audio technology, and I can't help but sing their praises. From the moment I slipped them over my ears, I was enveloped in a world of sonic bliss. Let's start with sound quality – it's simply unparalleled. The XM5 delivers crystal-clear highs, rich mids, and deep, punchy bass that elevates every note of my favorite songs to new heights. Whether I'm jamming to rock classics or immersing myself in the delicate nuances of classical music, every detail is brought to life with stunning clarity. Comfort is another area where the XM5 shines. The plush ear cushions and adjustable headband make wearing these headphones an absolute pleasure, even during marathon listening sessions. And with Sony's advanced noise-canceling technology, I can escape into my music without being interrupted by the outside world. But it's not just about sound and comfort – the XM5 is packed with features that enhance the overall listening experience. The touch controls are intuitive and responsive, allowing me to adjust volume, skip tracks, and even answer calls with a simple tap. And thanks to the Sony Headphones Connect app, I can fine-tune the sound to suit my personal preferences and access additional features like ambient sound control and adaptive sound control. Battery life is another standout feature of the XM5. With up to 30 hours of playback on a single charge, I can enjoy uninterrupted music playback throughout the day without worrying about running out of juice. In terms of design and build quality, Sony has once again hit it out of the park. The XM5 exudes elegance and sophistication, with a sleek, minimalist design and premium materials that not only look great but also ensure durability and longevity. Overall, the Sony XM5 headphones are a testament to Sony's commitment to excellence in audio technology. With their exceptional sound quality, comfort, and advanced features, they have truly raised the bar for what headphones can achieve. Whether you're a music lover, audiophile, or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, the XM5 is sure to impress. Highly recommended!

Its been more than an year i have been using and its great. Super comfortable, noise cancellation is great, great battery life.

My son loves them! Super long battery life and charge quickly. He like the sound quality as well. He had originally purchased these to use with his computer when he was making music, but there was a lag since it is wireless. Other than that, they are awesome!

As someone who would consider themselves to be an audiofile, I enjoy these headphones for what they are. The ANC performance is second to none (that I have tried). The price is fair, all things considered. When listening to music critically at home, I use Sennheiser HD 600s, which also happen to be $400. Do the WH-1000XM5s sound as good as the HD 600s? Of course not, but the HD 600s need an amp due to their 300 ohm impedance, they block absolutely zero noise, they leak a considerable amount of noise, they're not wireless, etc. Point is, they aren't particularly convenient or portable. If you need a pair of on-the-go headphones, or ones you can wear while moving around the house (vacuuming, cooking, etc.) the WH-1000XM5s are an excellent choice. The battery life, it should be noted as well, is phenomenal. The sound, while not as good as their wired, open-backed competitors in the same price bracket, is still very good. I found some EQ-ing to be necessary, as they were too bass forward out of the box, however the phone app makes EQ-ing them easy, so no complaints there. Given the excellent ANC and convenience of these headphones, the quality of the sound is appropriate for the price point. I have seen others complain of the "cheap feel" of these headphones, likely referencing the plastic construction and light weight. It seems to me to be an unwarranted criticism, as the ABS they are made of can doubtless withstand far more abuse than I - or any average consumer - will ever put them through and, as it turns out, low weight is desirable for something that's going to be sitting on your head for potentially hours at a time. I would certainly not want these headphones to be made out of metal. On a unique side note, my head - and by extension my ears - are incapable of sweating, so I wear these to the gym since I don't need to worry about the lack of a waterproof rating. They block out the loud ambient noise of the gym exceptionally well.

I used to use the apple airmax pros until mine started having some glitches after a few years. I decided to give these a try and are overall pretty well. The overall sound and noise cancellation work very good and these are a lot more comfortable on me than the apple headphones. However, the volume adjusting i am not a fan of. The apple headphones just had buttons like they do on iPhones but for these you have to adjust volume which sometimes works and sometimes it ends up doing something else like rewinding a song, or skipping the song.

I had and used the Sony XM-4 for years, loved those headphones and didn’t think they could be one up’ed, oh was I wrong. The Sony XM-5’s are even better is every way. Comfort, noise cancellation, battery life, ease of use! Would reccomend these to anyone!

I absolutely love my Sony XM5 headphones. They are a complete game changer for me, especially when I go on walks or work out. The noise cancellation makes it feel like I’m in a whole new world, completely immersed in my music. Comfort, sound quality, and battery life are all incredible. Not only does it sound good but it looks good with any outfit.

I heard a lot about this headphones being the better than the competition and even being best for some categories. So after many reviews and youtube videos I was convinced to buy it, and believe me they werent wrong. These are one of the best noice cancelling headphones I have used, the noice canceliing, the sound quality, the customization, all the features, they are so much better than most of the headphones. My friends tried them and they liked it so much that all of them bought these headphones. Truly one of the best headphones. Talking about the battery life they last me around 2 days or 1 full day on continuous use with noise cancellation on full to 75% volume. They are also super comfy if you put them on correctly and adjust the band correctly. I use them for 7-8 hours minimum and they are still comfy.

Battery is incredible, sound is incredible and super lightweight so they stay comfortable for a long time

I bought the Sony WH-1000XM5 during the Best Buy Black Friday sale, and they have been a game-changer! The noise cancellation is incredible, completely shutting out background noise whether I’m working, traveling, or just relaxing. The sound quality is rich and immersive, with deep bass and crystal clear details. They are also super comfortable, lightweight and perfect for long listening sessions. Plus, the battery life is amazing, lasting over 30 hours on a single charge. Best Buy’s in-store experience was great, and I am so glad I picked these up. If you are thinking about getting them, just do it—you won’t regret it!

I upgraded to the Sony WH-1000XM5 and honestly, I’m so glad I did. The sound is super clean and detailed, way better than what I had before, and the noise canceling is on another level. It blocks out everything, even when I’m on a plane or in a loud room. They’re also way lighter and more comfortable for long use, and the call quality is super clear now. I love how they connect to two devices at once, and the battery lasts forever. Overall, they just feel smoother, smarter, and totally worth the upgrade.

Best headphones for the commuter/traveler. Noise canceling and audio quality is decent. Battery lasts forever and supports fast charging. Not the best is you have a DAC and are into lossless audio but it works. They are very comfortable and even though they don’t fold like older models, and the case is bulky, in my opinion they are a great buy.

I love designs that look sleek and minimal like the Microsoft ones so it was a no brainer when the best anc headphones was redesigned in a similar manner. Sound quality is superb, clean and punchy bass, best for any type of listening. ANC is second to none, cant't wait to try it on a plane trip coming up. Comfort is the best. The earcups cushion are crazy nice and they don't clamp too hard or cause pain even after prolonged listening. The white one feels Abit light but in a very good way. It's almost like soft cardboard, with its own unique elegance
