Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Industry Leading Headphones with Auto Noise Canceling Optimizer, Crystal Clear Hands-Free Calling, and Alexa Voice Control, Silver

I bought this product for my brother. Sound quality is excellent

Sony does it yet again. These exceeded my expectations. The ANC is... good beyond belief. Absolutely superb. And they are so, so comfortable. 5/5 Sensational! They knocked it out of the park with these. *****

Very happy with these headphones. Lots of features and Great sound. Well worth the price for them.

Truly the best headphones I ever had. Couldnt recommend these more! I had been debating between these and the new Apple AirPods Max and so elated I went with these for multiple reasons (battery life, price, NC, bass, and more).

These sound ok. Personally like the sound from older Bose 700 model. But always disconnecting and not working with Teams. Frustrated that they are not able to handle it. Yes I have tried everything on Windows 10 to get them to work. They will literally work watching a YouTube video and as soon as I go to Teams they stop working.

Great Noise canceling and great audio quality for Wireless Headphones needs some adjustments in the EQ to get perfect listening experience and the App that goes with it also does so much and gives you access to so much But the box was damaged that it arrived in the amazon box and the Product box looked like someone played soccer or something with it and also there as a greasy substances in the box tried contacting supplier but no replay there is no damage to the headset that I can see But this would not of been a problem if I was not in SA does is not me saying stop shipping to SA I do appreciate you guys for shipping to SA

Very lovely as Sony makes fantastic products. Noise-canceling is amazing . Earcups are soft and easy on the ears. The headband cant really feel on and thats wearing it for over 8 hours when I first got them—worth every penny spent.

I got these as a gift for myself almost a month ago. I had a coworker who had the XM4s and I was impressed, so I got the XM5s after doing research and finding that the noise cancellation is better than the previous generations. Based on what I remember from years ago it FEELS like the noise cancellation is about the same. What I love about the headphones is that you can FEEL the noise being cancelled. It feels like your head is in a vacuum (not a vacuum cleaner, but a vacuum of space). And thats what I bought these for. Ive had no issues with the controls, app, or connectivity. I do wish there was more bass, but also thats not the selling point for these. The equalizer in the app has a preset bass boost setting which helps.

I had the XM3 and thought now would finally be a good time to upgrade. And the XM5s were only slightly better. I EQ my headphones, so after that, they both sounded good to me, so not a significant enough difference there. XM5s were marginally more comfortable, but not enough to make a difference to me either. The couple things that were much better was its ability to auto pause when removing the headphones connect to 2 devices at once (XM3 doesnt have that), the ambient sound mode was so much better, and the headphones overall responsiveness to touch/button controls was much faster. As for noise cancelling, Im convinced that there is variation in noise cancellation strength between each individual pair of WH-1000XM5 headphones. Ive watched videos of sound engineers doing noise-cancelling samples and graphically showing the XM5s beating out other headphones, including the XM3. So I know that objectively, the XM5s should have better noise cancelling than most competitors, especially the old XM3s. But Ive compared them both on a plane, in a room filled with talking people, and outside when a bunch of cicadas were droning. The 2 are either on par or the XM3s slightly edge out the XM5s. Again, its soooo close, but I expected new model to be leaps beyond the model 2 generations ago. But because I know the XM5s have to be better, the only conclusion I can draw is that there is random variation in ANC strength between individual headphones. Im giving 3 stars for now and will be returning my pair, but I like the headphones enough to give them another chance, maybe when they go on sale or something. Ill update my review then.

I loved the sound of these. They felt comfortable for a few hours before I got a headache (I wear glasses so finding headphones that I can wear longer is pretty impossible.) My only complaint which is why I returned them is I have colored hair and the cups absorbed all my hair color and stained. I always get black everything and the one time I got a different color for headphones my hair stains them...not worth $300+ if that happens.
