    Overall sound is great! Only complaint is the product turns off randomly almost every time I use them. The battery is one of the biggest perks. I typically use them every other day and charge about once a week.

      Hi RosieReview, Great! We're glad that you like the sound quality and battery life. We're sorry if the headphones randomly turns off. Allow us to help and turn your experience around.

      If the headset is turned off automatically, please try the following:
      When you wear the headset over a cap, cloth, a scarf, hair, etc., wearing detection may not work properly. The automatic power off function may trigger and the headset may be turned off automatically. Wear the headset so that your ears are inside the earpads.
      When the automatic power off function is set to [Do not turn off] on the [System] tab of the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, wearing detection will continue to work and the symptom may be improved.
      Make sure the battery is fully charged.

    I enjoy the headphones while studying but they are not for working out! They slip off my head constantly & when I’m moving my arms with weights the headphones think I’m trying to change the song, etc. so the music is constantly being interrupted. The music sounds great though & the noise canceling option works extremely well! Great for studying but not for working out!

      Hi ElishaT, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience so far using your Sony WH-1000XM5. We're glad you love the exceptional sound quality and excellent noise cancellation of your headphones. Having read your review regarding the fit and waterproof performance, these headphones have great cushioning and adjustability. This will help the headphones stay on your head while working out. These will work great for you while working out “Non-Hardcore”. That being said, these headphones are not specifically designed for sports activities as the unit is not sweat resistant. If the proximity sensor part inside the left unit housing gets fogged up or there are water droplets on it due to condensation or humidity from sweat, etc., wearing detection may not work properly. We recommend you practice caution when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    I purchased a Samsung OLED S95B 4K Smart Television in 2022 as soon as it was release. I tried using earbuds watching my favorite television series and movies but they hurt my ears. I had been waiting for the Sony M5's to go on sale Black Friday 2023 and they did. I purchased the Sony - WH1000XM5 noise canceling headphones and the sound quality is fantastic, better than the M4's. I prefer the M5's case oppose to the M4's.

    I'm about 2 weekish in wearing these as my daily set. I've have the new gen airpods pro's and a fresh new pair of wf1000xm4 from sony as a replacement. After having all tried them all, these hand downs are my favorite and hard to put down once there on. Earbuds are cool when needed especially workingout but man these are just great for working from home and just lounging. Get them if you CAN!
