Great buy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great and so is the noise canceling feature. Can get a little uncomfortable wearing it for too many hours consistently but mostly very comfortable if adjusted well to fit head.

SONY review
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works amazing still even after a year- noise cancelling could be better but still amazing adaptability to surroundings.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hello MadelineB,
Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. It's great to hear they are still working amazingly even after a year and that you appreciate the amazing adaptability to surroundings.
We also appreciate your honest thoughts about the noise canceling. To help maximize performance, we suggest checking the Sony | Sound Connect app.
In the app, you can confirm that Adaptive Sound Control is OFF (as it can sometimes switch to Ambient Sound mode) and that the Ambient Sound Control setting is clearly set to Noise Cancelling in the "Sound" tab.
We're genuinely thankful you decided on Sony!
Best regards,
Estefany
Great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using them for about a week now and they are great but the noise canceling is not as good as I thought it would be

Posted .Thank you for the feedback, MatthewWolowitz.
We're glad you like the headphones but sorry the noise canceling isn't hitting the mark. We recommend disabling "Adaptive Sound Control" in the Sony Sound Connect app to keep the ANC at its maximum level. Ensuring a snug fit around the ears and checking for the latest firmware update can also significantly improve performance.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

amazing sound and ui, only found one con
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love these headphones, they look like pebbles & the noise cancelling on these bad boys make you feel like you’re exiting a pressure chamber when you take them off. 10/10. the only thing im not a fan of is that they collect sweat when you work out in them. and maybe thats my fault, and i shouldnt be working out in them. other than that, seriously so perfect.
