Finally Great Noise Cancellation on Airplanes
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a very loud and long flight from Texas to Florida woth two misbehaved loud kids in front of me, a screaming crying baby in front and behind me, and my Apple AirPod pro 2’s not doing a great job of cancelling out the noise, I looked into what options there were. These headphones are SOLID. I was on a flight after that experience to Hawaii over the summer and there were plenty of kids on that flight. I forgot kids were around me while watching in flight entertainment and listening to movies. I really love that you can pause the ANC by placing your palm on the right ear cup so you can listen to what’s going on around you or the flight attendant announcements. They were very comfortable on 6 hours of continuous use. One comment is during take off, the loud engines seem to confuse the ANC, but then once you take off ground, it regularizes itself and is good from there on out. They’re pretty pricey, but they’re so worth it. Highly recommend.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable with great noise cancelling. Sound was better to me than the Air Pods Max which I bought at the same time and tried. Like how the app gives you the ability to set specific EQ levels. Seems to be a known concern with the hinges breaking, but hope that doesn't happen.

Not worth $400 plus tax
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I regret this purchase. So I was tempted to run out and buy the XM5s after viewing all the positive reviews about them on Youtube. I opened the box, removed the case and pulled out the headphones. Here are my pros and cons after using them for a few hours. Pros: 1. Seamless design - less gaps between the earcups, pads and hinges than the XM4s 2. No creaking- Because they don't fold, there's no creaking of the armbands like with the XM4s. 3. Multipoint connection- can connect to 2 devices simultaneously 4. Larger earcups- a little wider and deeper than the earcups on the XM4s 5. Sound quality is more clear, less muffled than the prior XM series. Phone call quality is much better. Cons: 1. ANC is worse than the XM4s. You cannot change the level. Its only on or off. 2. Lacks the 40mm drivers necessary for stronger output like higher volume and bass. 3. Lacks NFC so you can't tap your phone to the earcup to turn it on and off. Came handy if your other hand was busy. 4. Cannot use high quality LDAC bluetooth codec on Android devices unless you download max high quality music from Spotify, Apple, Tidal and others which eats up huge storage space. Also, cannot use LDAC if multipoint is turned on. The Sony Music app will warn you of this. 5. No aptx codec limits the quality and range of music to download. Aptx was and is the standard for bluetooth music streaming/downloads. 6. Cannot fold. Takes up more storage space and makes them less compact to carry. For this price, I'll stick with the other XM-series from Sony. Even if these drop below $300 one day, I think I'll still pass.

Posted .Hi Adam,
Thank you for your review.
While we are thrilled that you are satisfied with the stylish & quality design, multipoint connection function, and exceptional phone call & sound quality (compared to the previous models) of our WH-1000XM5, we are really sorry if the noise canceling feature, volume & bass sound, LDAC feature on Android devices and when using the multipoint connection function, supported audio format, price, and build of these headphones didn't live up to your expectations. We are also sorry if these headphones don't have an NFC function.
For the noise canceling feature, the following article may help improve this function:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000534745.html
And for the loudness and bass sound, these headphones feature an equalizer (with the use of the Sony Headphones Connect app) that you can customize to your preferred sound levels to suit your music.

So much better than the xm4s
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones charge much faster, they sound better, and are lighter than their predecessor. I remember when these first came out and most reviewers were dinging them for not being collapsible. Which always struck me as odd because: why not just wear earbuds if you're concerned about space?

Randomly Disconnects
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great just like the WH1000XM3 model that I had BUT...the more features that are enable the more likely that the headphones start acting erratic. Sometimes the noise cancellation would stop and you would hear the entire outside world and then it would go back into noise cancellation mode. Sometimes it simply disconnects from your device for no reason at all. I tried to connect to my laptop and phone at the same time and I was able to do so but it didn't switch back to the phone very well. I had to turn bluetooth off of my laptop so that I could keep it exclusively on my iphone and then manually disconnect from the phone, re-enable bluetooth on the laptop, and reconnect on the laptop to use it for meetings through the laptop. Even with bluetooth off on the laptop and the "Connect 2 devices simultaneously" turned off on the headphones, the headphones will randomly disconnect from my phone. No other wireless headphones have done this with my iphone, not even the WH1000XM3 set I had before. Not randomly power down, randomly disconnect. All firmware and apps are up-to-date too. At the 299 (US dollars) price point, I can put up with the connection frustration when having to switch and its random disconnections because the sound quality is awesome. Just frustrating to deal with. iPhone 13 btw.

Noise cancelling is amazing but design has flaws
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do like these headphones kind of… typically I was wearing air pod pros daily until their latest update where the noise cancellation was emphasizing the wrong sounds cause my overstimulation to get worse. I wear headphones to reduce the sound around me or help me focus on familiar things. I decided to switch to Sony over ear because they had great reviews for noise cancelling and phone calls. Both these features are great and I love that you can personal the sound (ie I can’t handle bass or lower tones and I can customize to balance those). The meh: the fit is weird sometimes it feels like it is squishing my head but when I love they fall off. Very annoying for being active or doing things like cleaning. Connectivity is hit and miss and needs improvement. They connect ok to my phone but if I want to use them I have to have the app in order to get them to connect to another device and when you get a call or alarm it does not play through the head phones just stops the sound. This is very frustrating then when you finally find your phone and click answer you have to go in and change the settings to connect to headset for a call. While I like them because they do help when I need noise canceling i do find them buggy.

Good, but not for me
||Posted .

Amazing but noise cancelling is overhyped
|Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fits very well, lightweight and not too tight, feels very high quality and luxurious. The app is super easy to use, and is very customizable to your own personal fit. One thing thats weird is the headphones swivel outwards rather than inwards, meaning the inside of the headphones are exposed when around neck. Thats one thing thats odd, also the case, the flat part is actually the top. Which is funny because you would think that the flat size is the bottom (where it would rest). Just everything feels backwards when it comes to the case and how the headphones swivel. Other than that, everything is great, i love the colors too.

Sony Really Let Me Down With These
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start by saying that I really wanted to like these headphones. As someone who purchased the WH-1000XM2 headphones back in 2017, I was really looking forward to all the upgrades that the XM5 would provide. The upgrades were there, but so too were the problems as well. Let us begin. Pros: Excellent sound, fantastic noise canceling, very comfortable to wear, felt like a premium product to hold, lightweight, and I was a fan of the beige color. I would use these when traveling throughout NYC and commuting to work. The noise cancellation was so good that when standing on the subway platform and waiting for an oncoming train -- if I closed my eyes -- I could forget that I was on a busy platform while listening to my music. Cons: A few months after buying them, there came an issue where the sound would go out for 10-20 seconds at a time. It would happen randomly when walking, sitting, on a bus, or wherever. It didn't matter what type of audio I listened to, be it music or podcasts. It got to the point that I just stopped using the headphones altogether. I'm not sure if this issue is a cold-weather thing, as I began to notice beginning in October of last year when the temperature started to drop (interestingly, I purchased these headphones in December of '22, and there were no problems during that winter). Nevertheless, I went back to using the XM2s. Yes, I've gone back to using the same headphones that I thought would have been retired by now, but the XM5s were inconsistent with maintaining their audio. I'm so disappointed with these headphones and Sony. Perhaps I had a defective product, but for something that's nearly $400, constantly losing sound at any place at any time is incredibly frustrating. So, in the end, despite the excellent sound quality (when it would work) and noise cancellation, I can't in good conscience recommend anyone buy these headphones based on my experience with them. Again, I've had no problems with the XM2s, and they're almost 8 years old at this point. Sony, please get your act together because this was such a letdown.

Posted .Hi Oaktown,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. While we're glad that you like most of the features, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your WH-1000XM5 disconnecting from your device randomly. We have taken note of your issues. We'd love to troubleshoot the issue and make this a better experience for you. In the meantime, please make sure that the headphones has the latest software updates (via the Sony Sound Connect app) as this will help improve the overall performance of the WH-1000XM5.
In some cases, such as when you wear the headphones over a cap, a scarf, hair, etc., the sensors may not detect that you are wearing them and may turn them off. Be sure to set the earpads over the ears. Also, check the proximity sensor. If the proximity sensor part inside the left unit housing gets fogged up, or if there are water droplets on it due to condensation or humidity (from changing temperatures or sweat, for example), the Wearing Detection function may not work properly. If this happens, leave the proximity sensor part facing up until the moisture disappears. Please note that the WH-1000XM5 model is designed to function optimally between the temperatures of 0°C and 40°C (32 °F to 104 °F). Although it can and will function beyond this temperature range, performance may be impaired.
If the connection is unstable, such as when producing only intermittent sound, switch the sound quality mode to Prioritize Stable Connection. If the behavior continues, restore the unit to factory default. Doing so may resolve the issue. To reset the headphones, follow the steps from the link below.
