So good I bought two
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the black ones. I liked these so much I got the white one as a gift. I did drop two stars because the mic does not work with the Sony Playstation which is dumb. But it works amazing when switching from my pc and phone and handling calls.

Posted .Thank you for the review, MuzT!
We are so glad to hear you love the WH-1000XM5 enough to gift a second pair! It’s great that you’re enjoying the seamless switching between your PC and phone.
Regarding the microphone with your PlayStation, while these are primarily designed for mobile and PC use, you can actually use the mic with your console by connecting the included 3.5mm cable directly into your controller! For a fully wireless mic experience on PS5, we usually recommend our INZONE gaming headsets.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Posted .Hi ACAI,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience so far using your Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. We're glad you love the exceptional sound quality and overall features of your headphones. Because the headset achieves a tight seal over the ears, you may start to feel hot with your ears always covered. They can also get a bit warm in hot environments. For optimum fit and comfort, try adjusting the headband and the earpads properly. 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. Our elegant design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear.
