Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had and used the Sony XM-4 for years, loved those headphones and didn’t think they could be one up’ed, oh was I wrong. The Sony XM-5’s are even better is every way. Comfort, noise cancellation, battery life, ease of use! Would reccomend these to anyone!

This was a special gift to replace stolen headphones for my wife. She loves the overall design of these and said that they are comfortable with unparalleled sound quality.

Sure! Here’s a well-crafted customer comment: “I’ve tried many high-end headphones, but the Sony WH-1000XM5 is simply on another level! The sound quality is phenomenal, with deep bass, clear vocals, and incredible detail. The noise cancellation is the best I’ve experienced, completely blocking out distractions. Plus, they’re lightweight and super comfortable, even for long hours. Battery life is amazing, and the quick charge feature is a lifesaver. Absolutely worth every penny—Sony has outdone itself!”

I absolutely love these headphones! They're super comfy to wear, have amazing sound quality, and the battery life lasts forever. I also appreciate how easy they are to clean and maintain. The noise canceling is really impressive—though one small downside (maybe user error?) is that it sometimes activates when I move my head or bend down. Otherwise, they’re nearly perfect!

Very comfortable amazing sound great quality very light

I appreciate the comfortability and longevity of these headphones. The battery lasts forever and the sound quality is top notch, even better than the XM4’s that I have.

I spent ages trying to find quality headphones that were worth committing to for me. These headphones are comfortable, lightweight, have great sound, and the noise cancellation is incredible. The battery life is a dream too—I’m a college student and I use these for hours every day. The app for these headphones is also super user-friendly and offers cool features. 11/10!

I have the older version i.e. M4 and thoroughly enjoyed it until it lost it in a travel. M5 has outstanding the audio quality and noise cancellation. The device feels light and soft on ears. Also the controls are easy to use. clear tunes and good bass. I would definitely recommend it. Only con is, its over priced. I would have waited for sale given holidays are just around the corner. :-)

these headphones are great headphones but the fact that they don't fold makes them not to portable. they have great quality and also putting into consideration that other reviews say they break easy it might be better to get the more recent xm6 but these are still great for someone on a budget.

I bought these because I was looking for a good pair of over-the-ear headphones. I know that Sony is known for its excellent sound quality, too. Let me tell you - these sound phenomenal! The Sound Connect app definitely helps with customizing the perfect sound! The sound drivers in this headset help with all levels of sound. The immersive sound is phenomenal! The battery life is also great! I flew for work this weekend and used the XM5s the whole flight. They were comfortable and the battery life was still at 90%! I highly recommend this headset!

The sound is great for pair of bluetooth headphones! Of course you have to tweek the EQ settings for best results in the Sony Connect app! I love the touch controls, so much easier than finding the buttons on other headphones. There are some buttons on the xm5, a power and a noise cancelling/ ambient button. It has great call quality. The battery last a long time. I get exactly what they said, about 30 hours of battery life. They fit nicely and are comfortable. I do think durability might be an issue if you dont keep good care of them. They do NOT fold up! The headphones come with a case and wire and charging cable. These really do sound better than the xm4s which i also have and the Noise cancelling is better as well. I also want to say, if you listen through the wire it might sound terrible unless you power them on while you listen. You can still use noise cancelling and the battery will last longer if you do it that way instead of normal bluetooth usage!

I am all about the built in codecs as an audiophile. This headset might not be as power punching with the bass but it is enough to satisfy a bass loving person like me. As far as listening to Tidal (best audio formats) or Apple music app or any Dolby Atmos shows from any app like Netflix or Prime, this headset kills the competition. It has the availability to cuntomize your EQ through the Sony headset app and fine tune to your ear shape as well. This is my go to headset for everything, even Zoom, Microsoft Teams meetings as well thanks to noise cancelation which gets an 8 out 20 for me. I am in medical and we have a lot of noise coming from everywhere and this headsets work really good. Don’t get me going on the battery life, it’s amazing and lasts for days since I only use it for about 1-3 hours daily.

Sound quality is great. The noise canceling is solid. I use these to play my PS5 (had to buy a $15 USB-C Bluetooth dongle to get these headphones and the PS5 communicating together) and wear them for several hours at a time without experiencing any discomfort. I recharge them as soon as I am done using them for 3-4 hours at a time, so the battery has not been an issue for me due to my limited use.

Love the sound and noise cancellation on these headphones. The only downfall that I have about them is the arm for the headphones they need a metal supports built in. The ear supports crack. I use these all the time. Very comfortable and lightweight

Its been more than an year i have been using and its great. Super comfortable, noise cancellation is great, great battery life.

These are the best headphones for the price on the market. Noice canceling is superb, while still keeping the weight down and remaining comfortable. I use them at the gym and they don’t fall off. The battery last a very long time. Sound quality is the best I’ve ever heard.

I had the Sony XM3 version and really liked it. These were the newer model and had rave reviews so I got one. The sound is outstanding and they feel lighter and less bulky than the XM3. The battery life is excellent and lasts me all day and then some. That said... I absolutely hate that they took the voice away telling you the different system statuses that the XM3 had. Now its just a random tone. I can't tell if I'm properly in pairing mode. Can't tell what listening mode you're in either. It's just a beep. Bring back the sexy voice that let you know you were in ambient noise mode! Oh, and for $400 you should absolutely include the charging block, ya cheap skinflints! These two things kept it from getting all 5 stars. Otherwise, a great purchase (if not a tad steep).

Amazing product, the sound quality. Its so light weight and just great for everyday day use. No ear pain.

I was looking for great noise canceling headphones and at first bought Beats. However, I got bad ones and they didn't work. But I realized I didn't like the way they felt on my head and researched more. I found these and I really like them. They are very comfortable. They help me considerate when working. They last VERY long! Probably the longest out there. I love watching movies in my bedroom with them on. They come with an app where you can adjust things the way you like them. I had to figure out how to stop them from cutting off when I was singing because it thought I was talking to someone lol also I like how you can have it connect to multiple devices at once. So I can switch between my imac and iphone when I need to. Calls are great on them. They don't always switch over but everyone can hear me clearly and the calls are clear. I highly recommend. My only suggestion is MAKE SOME PINK ONES! hahaha no seriously, get them you wont be disappointed.
