    Much more comfortable than my WH-XM1003. I have used these on several flights and they greatly reduce the notice from the plane and the sound is excellent. I don't find that the new non-foldable headphones are issues when packing in my carry on

    These are an excellent Headphones, I use for all my wireless phonically and so far no one complained about quality. I listen to music but I want something that's good with phone calls too. IF you are a Bass heavy music lovers may be check others but for my purpose regular music and call really good.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, NagG!

      We are so glad to hear that the WH-1000XM5 is meeting your needs for both "regular music" and high-quality phone calls! We put a great deal of effort into the microphone technology and noise-reduction algorithms to ensure that "phonically," your voice comes through crystal clear even in busy environments.

      We also appreciate your honest note regarding the bass. While we aim for a balanced, high-fidelity sound signature, we love that you’ve found these to be the perfect tool for your daily calls and listening.

      Thank you for choosing Sony and for being a part of our community!

      Great choice KristenB! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5 headphones! These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds.

    Drummers get the XM4, audiophiles get the XM5

    As a drummer I've owned the XM3, XM4 and just bought the XM5. I had great hopes for these headphones but sadly they will be going back. While no noise cancelling headphones are perfect for drumming, the XM4s do an amazing job attenuating the overall level without introducing unwanted artifacts. The XM4s were only slightly better than the XM3s for drumming. So drummers will be really happy with either the 3 or 4. Unfortunately, the XM5 does not reduce the overall level as much and it introduces an annoying sibilance when playing the hi hats. I was hoping this was just a software issue but it's probably because of the extra mics, so I will keep my XM4 for another year. As for everyone else, these headphones sound amazing for listening to music! If you are are on the fence about buying expensive noise canceling headphones, you will not be disappointed! They represent an marked improvement in sound clarity over the previous models.

      Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with the WH-1000XM5, NinelM! We're thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the high-quality noise cancellation and that our headset has become your top choice.

      Regarding your mention of handwashing the case, we appreciate your attention to keeping your accessories clean. While it’s important to maintain your headphones and their case, we recommend following Sony’s official care instructions to ensure long-term performance and avoid accidental damage. For most Sony headphone models, it’s best to clean cases with a dry, soft cloth, and to avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as some cases may not be water-resistant and moisture could lead to malfunction or affect their longevity.

      Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Sony. We hope your WH-1000XM5 headphones continue to provide an exceptional listening experience!

      Best regards,
      Gus

    My daughter absolutely loves these. Her Skull Candy Hesh 2 headphones that she had for 5 yrs broke. I took her to BestBuy so she could try out several models and this is the pair she picked. The noise canceling is amazing and if she wants to hear whats going on around her all she has to do is put her hand on one headphone and it lets the surrounding sounds in at a controlled level.
