Definitely worth the splurge
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using my headphones for a few months now, and it has been the best purchase that I’ve made this year. I was blown away at the noise-cancelling quality, and love that it has the feature to opt into the noise for a quick convo without taking the headphones off!

Sony-WH1000XM5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are really good for the price that they are. Getting them on sale is even better, but what makes them so good is the sound quality. I was listening to music and heard parts of the song I’ve never heard before. Outstanding headphones, 10/10

Sound great, haptics are a little annoying
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound great, pretty comfortable but hurt my ears after a while. Sacrifice a little comfort for size, so it’s fine. The haptics are a bit annoying, great concept but irritating when you adjust them and the sound stops. App could use some work from UI perspective. These aren’t the type of headphones you would go running with, so not sure about why so much emphasis is put on activity. However, tap to turn off noise canceling and stop when you take them off is great!

Great sounds but asthetics needs revamping
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the high quality sound, however from reading the reviews it seems as if Sony took away the features that would’ve made it perfect. ie; the easy bluetooth setup & the folding feature foe easy packing. Bluetooth pairing button flimsy. If it works well why downgrade? Was it a cost thing? because its still very expensive. Im tempted to get the earlier model for the convenience.

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

- Pros mentioned:Battery life
best so far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second gen (I skipped XM4) and my favorite so far. It's great that you can connect with two devices at once via bluetooth, though this operation feels less than polished at least when moving between MS teams on a laptop, and your phone. I like that you dont need a separate mike b/c the sensitivity on this mike is superb and people can hear you even with an A/C activated in the same room. The 30 hour battery life and fast charging means it will outlast you on an given day. I would recommend.
