    I have had the headphones for a year now and still love them. I listen to audio books, music, and make calls when I go for walks outside. The sound is fantastic the call quality is insane. The connectivity is crisp and I can set my phone in the middle of the house and listen and talk anywhere I go while doing house chores. The head pinch was a bit of a problem at first. Found that wearing a hat helped early on to add some padding. As the headphones wore in, the band has lost the pinch.

      Hello ooooooh,

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

      We truly appreciate your positive feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones! It's wonderful to know you're enjoying the exceptional sound quality and the remarkably effective noise cancellation during your flights. We're also glad the transparency mode is proving useful for when you need to be aware of your surroundings.

      Regarding your suggestion for automatic Bluetooth device switching, thank you! We're constantly working to improve our products, and feedback like yours is essential as we develop future enhancements.

      In the meantime, you can connect your headset to two devices simultaneously through a multipoint connection, allowing you to switch music playback between devices effortlessly without the need to reconnect via Bluetooth. This means you can enjoy music from one smartphone while remaining available for incoming calls on both devices, enabling you to answer calls as they come in.

      To learn more about how to enable multipoint connection, please visit the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541784.html.

    Pretty good ANC headphones but the found the ear cups too small and shallow, not very comfortable to use. The stock sound is terrible, will need to EQ in the Sony app, but after EQ sound is not bad.

      Hi Kendall! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. We're sorry to hear that the earcups weren't as comfortable as you'd hoped and that the initial sound profile didn't quite meet your expectations.

      We understand that comfort is key, especially during long listening sessions, and we appreciate you bringing the earcup size and depth to our attention. This kind of feedback is valuable as we're always looking for ways to improve our designs.

      It's great to hear that you were able to customize the sound to your liking using the Sony Headphones Connect app's EQ settings! We're also glad that you found the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to be effective – it's something we're very proud of with the WH-1000XM5.

      Thanks again for your honest review and choosing us. Your insights are helpful for us and for others considering these headphones. If you have any further questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

      Best regards,

      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!
