Customers are saying

While many also appreciate its good bass, snug fit, and decent active noise cancellation, some concerns have been raised. These concerns primarily revolve around its portability, price, occasional connectivity issues, and a desire for louder volume and water resistance.

    Great look, great QUALITY…. But terrible design. Not even 6 months into my purchase and the hinges on the headphones cracked, and Sony will NOT fix them, nor with Best Buy without Insurance. I would go for the XM4s which are better built to withstand wear and tear.

      Hi ReadysonV,

      We're so glad that you appreciate the top-notch sound quality and robust design of our WH-1000XM5. We're sorry you've been running into difficulty. For comfort, try adjusting the headband and the earpads properly. Our WH-1000XM5 has a slider that you can use to adjust the length of the headband to get the best fit and for comfortable listening experience. These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds.

      Note: If you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect.

      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.
