Definitely worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome features, I got it as a gift and they use them daily. It’s amazing when I FaceTime them, I don’t hear the noisy background, I even borrowed them for a trip and they were life savers during the flight, I’m thinking of repurchasing for myself. Definitely worth it.

Happy Husband
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These noise canceling headphones do exactly what they are intended to do. He got these after wanting to purchase them for 6 months. He was extremely excited to wear these and I didn’t understand why. He is smiling more I’ve noticed especially when I talk to him about work of even more when it’s cleaning day for me. He seems very satisfied with his experience.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, JimmyD.
We are pleased to hear that you are finding value in the WH-1000XM5 headphones' excellent Noise Cancellation and the functionality of the associated app. We put a lot of focus on creating a world-class listening environment, so it is great to know those features are working well for you.
We are sorry, however, to hear that the sound quality is not completely meeting your expectations. We're committed to providing a premium audio experience, and we would like to ensure you are getting the best performance possible.
Have you tried using the Equalizer feature within the Sony Headphones Connect app? Adjusting the EQ settings can often significantly tailor the sound profile to your specific preferences, offering clearer highs, deeper bass, or a more balanced mix.
We value this feedback and hope a small adjustment helps you unlock the full audio potential of your WH-1000XM5 headphones.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team
