The effect of sony headphones is really powerful
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My head is a little big, so it would be better if it could be stretched a little more, but it is very comfortable to wear, and the sound noise reduction function is really perfect. I have been watching this headset for a long time, and the discount on best buy made me get it. Thanks to this store

Thanks for the fantastic five stars! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the industry-leading noise cancellation on your WH-1000XM5 headphones.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are a true upgrade from the XM4s in every way; though the question remains of how significant of an upgrade? The sound quality and isolation is amazing. Not quite at the Airpod Max level - but impressive nonetheless! The touch controls on the right ear up by itself makes these an intriguing option to consider when looking for a high quality, excellent sounding pair of headphones! I’m glad to have received these over the holidays!

Sony used to be my go to.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has fallen far from their original quality. I was able to compare these with the Bose and Apple equivalents. Sony came in 2nd after Apple! Why? The sound quality and noise cancellation is good, but not the best.

Posted .Hi AlexisG, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the sound quality and noise canceling feature of WH1000XM5. It's important to acknowledge the aspects of your feedback. The WH-1000XM5 indeed prioritizes sound quality with an option to adjust this via the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. It offers two modes: "Priority on sound quality" and "Priority on stable connection". Although the WH-1000XM5 is designed to deliver high-quality sound and effective noise cancellation, individual preferences and experiences with audio quality can vary, leading to different comparisons with products from other brands. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl

Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones better noise cancellation than 4. I noticed a beeping sound when I first bought it during listening. All you have to do is change the toggle where it switches automatically. The headphones are trying to automatically adjust to ambient and noise canceling. I took that off now what ever I do im in controll of the sound And no beeping.

Replacing my XM4s
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A family member wanted to keep my XM4s, especially since they are using them to help them study through college. So I decided to get the XM5s on sale and they are just as good, if not better than the XM4s. The headphones sound great and aesthetically pleasing. I wouldn't necessarily upgrade from the XM4, but if you don't have either, go ahead and grab the XM5. You won't regret it!

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love these headphones. They sound better than my older pair of Bose headphones. Just wish they made them with a better material around the ear that had moisture wicking material. I use them when I mow and I tend to sweat and they slide off at times.
