Review for Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good headphones but if you have glasses, might be hard to get the perfect noise cancellation. other than that no complaints.

Posted .Hi Camm,
Thank you very much for the 4-star review! We are honored to hear you find the WH-1000XM5 to be great headphones and that you have no other complaints about the overall experience.
We sincerely appreciate your detailed feedback regarding wearing the headphones with glasses. We often recommend making sure to run the Noise Cancelling Optimizer feature in the Sony | Headphones Connect app while wearing your glasses, as this can help the headphones adapt the ANC to the slight difference in fit.
We really appreciate you choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Dominick

Poor value for money
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones should be half the price. They sound good not great. They feel very cheap and are very creaky on the head. Also, the wear sensor doesn’t work consistently. It didn’t work when I first used them and I had to reset them to get it to work but after wearing them for an extended period, it stopped working again. Also, as an iPhone user not all features are available for my use. Sony failed on this one.

Stopped connecting to my desktop.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was happy with these headphones until they just suddenly stopped connecting to my desktop which is my main source for my streaming services. They will connect to my smartphone but not to my 2 year old TV or my PC. I still have my XM3's which I went back to and they connected immediately. And may I add sounded better. So having bought them back in May I am well past the return window so I am stuck with a $400 paperweight which bevause of pther promotions I was paying off I haven'£t even started paying for uet. Obviously I am not a happy camper.
