Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi AjibolaA,

We are elated to hear that the premium quality of the WH-1000XM5 has made such a strong impression on you! We take great pride in delivering a high-end experience, and it is wonderful to know that you are already looking forward to the next evolution in our headphone lineup.

The WH-1000XM5 continues to set a high bar with its dual-processor noise canceling system and carbon-fiber driver units, which provide incredible clarity and detail. We are particularly excited that you are keeping an eye on the future; the recently launched WH-1000XM6 builds on that premium foundation with our new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3 and a return to the fan-favorite foldable design for even better portability. Whether you are enjoying the industry-leading silence of your current pair or moving to the latest edition, we are thrilled to have you with us.

Thank you for trusting Sony.

Best regards,
Dominick

Hi PaulD, While we're glad that you like noise canceling, comfort, and ease of pairing, we regret that the sound quality did not meet your expectations. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. Sony values the opinions of customers and is always striving to provide the best experience possible.

For sound related concerns, please try the following:
Turn down the volume of the playback device if it is too loud.
When playing music, if the headset and the transmitting Bluetooth device are connected via an HFP or HSP Bluetooth connection, switch the Bluetooth connection to A2DP with the connected device.
Some devices that emit ultrasonic sound waves designed to repel rodents may occasionally be installed at the entrances of commercial facilities or subway stations. Near such devices, the ultrasonic sound waves may cause noise or unusual sound to be heard from the headset. Leave the place where the noise or unusual sound is heard. Or turn off the noise canceling function/Ambient Sound Mode from the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.
Please also ensure the software is updated.
