Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hello ooooooh,

Thank you for choosing Sony!

We truly appreciate your positive feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones! It's wonderful to know you're enjoying the exceptional sound quality and the remarkably effective noise cancellation during your flights. We're also glad the transparency mode is proving useful for when you need to be aware of your surroundings.

Regarding your suggestion for automatic Bluetooth device switching, thank you! We're constantly working to improve our products, and feedback like yours is essential as we develop future enhancements.

In the meantime, you can connect your headset to two devices simultaneously through a multipoint connection, allowing you to switch music playback between devices effortlessly without the need to reconnect via Bluetooth. This means you can enjoy music from one smartphone while remaining available for incoming calls on both devices, enabling you to answer calls as they come in.

Best regards,

Hi AlyssaW, WeRe sorry to hear about your experience. This is definitely not the news we'd like to hear from you. Allow us to help and turn your experience around.

The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. If the effect of noise canceling is not sufficient, please try the following:

Make sure the noise canceling function is turned on.
Adjust the headset into a comfortable position.
The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.
