Awesome headphones
I never write reviews, but loved these headphones so much I had to tell others. My last headphones were the Apple Pro Max (over $500). They pooped out on me after 2 years so I bought Beats Pro headset which I hated. They’re over the ear supposedly, but they hurt to wear because they’re too small and the sound is too generic (even though I usually like Beats because of the extra bass). So, I bought the Sony headphones and LOVE them. The best sounding headphones I’ve ever had by far. If you buy them make sure to download the Sony app for them so you can adjust the equalizer to your taste. That’s really what makes these a huge hit. The sound is incredible!

Sony or iPhone headphones (from a person who owns only Mac products)
I have an Apple Watch, I have Apple air pod pro’s, I have an iPad, I have iMac, and basically everything related to Apple. But in my research the sony headphones are superior in so many ways. I Initially was going to return the headphones because other Bluetooth devices connected to my iMac interfered with both sound and speaking through the headset. It does pair in with my iMac perfectly.But here’s why I kept them:they are better at blocking noise than Apple headphones and while they are more affordable, the sound quality is also better. The battery life is superior and the headphones can automatically shut off and save the charge. Its battery life is vastly superior and the phone calls I make are crystal clear and people can hear me without a problem while blocking out all noise when I link them through my phone. They do have a transparency mode and a mode that allows transparency to turn on when you speak. But my favorite feature is the noise cancellation. While it does apply a slight amount of pressure on the ears, it’s not enough to stop me from using the feature. The music plays at higher quality than the Apple headset and the headphones are set up to pause, accept, or swipe to the next call with the slide of the finger over the right side of the headset. They ante very comfortable and suitable for wearing during long periods. They are pretty light. Ultimately the only reason for me to buy (apple’s) VR a headset vastly more expensive with less quality would be because apples headset easily swaps from whatever device you are on. The iMac issue would also be resolved but I’ve found ways to resolve it with the Sony headphones, it’s just a little bit more trouble. So it is a little bit of pain to have to manually connect Bluetooth and setup the headphones for my Mac but not to the point that I wouldn’t recommend them. Maybe Apple will one day produce a headset that has as high quality and when they do I’ll buy it but that moment hasn’t arrived.

Not bad, but I expected a little better if I’m honest.
I’m a hobbyist musician and sound engineer of 20 years and also mild audiophile that builds my own speakers. I like to think I know a little bit about sound and what it takes to reproduce sound, but the tricky thing with headphones is that everybody’s’ ears are different. Like, they’re physically slightly different which makes every single person hear the exact same sound slightly different, but there’s also our individual listening preferences too, so keep that in mind as you read this review. Personally, I prefer smooth, balanced, and LOW bass (down to 20Hz), but NOT boomy bass. I also like some sparkle in the highs (8k+).Initial impressions upon arrival and setup:- The packaging looks like it’s a cheap recycled cardboard of some sort. Obviously doesn’t affect the headphone’s performance.- The zipable case the headphones live in also seem kinda cheap and flimsy. Again, it doesn’t affect the headphone’s performance.- Accessories are fairly light as it only comes with a stubby little 8″ long (seriously) USB charging cable (not even a wall adapter, just USB A to USB C) and a generic 1/8″ stereo headphone cable if you want to physically plug them into a headphone jack.- The app was easy to download, install, and update. It did require making a Sony account though, so points off for that.- Pairing the headphones to my phone and also my computer was quick and seamless. I did have to restart my computer to get Windows to send audio over the bluetooth connection, but that was an issue with Windows and not the headphones.- The headphones themselves feel of good quality and are super comfy for my average sized head.- The EQ you set in the app does persist when you connect to a different sound source. For example, the EQ curve I set on my phone was not active when I then paired the headphones to my laptop and listened to the same track.- Really needs more than 6 EQ points. Sony, you can do better than just 5 predefined sliders and a bass slider (basically 6 sliders, so IDK why the bass is separate from the rest).Listening impressions:- Best sounding headset I’ve purchased to date and sound MILES better than my Sennheiser HD 596 (but to be fair, those sounded ridiculously unnatural and just all-around terrible).- Plenty of “thump” by default, but definitely dropping off significantly below 50Hz or so, which is exactly what I like to have present in my mix. You can see I’ve put a HUGE boost in the low lows on my EQ curve to make things like low synths, bass drops, and sub-harmonics sound even with the rest of the sound stage. Even still, the sub-bass that is there still sounds a bit thin and artificial like they’re using some processing trickery to make it sound like it’s playing lower than it is (there are a few ways to do this, but they’re never as authentic as just reproducing the frequency properly).- Little bit “dark” sounding, so a slight bump in the high mids as well as a 10k+ shelf bump really helped brighten up the sound stage.- Imaging is ok but definitely not spectacular. It’s only got a single 30mm driver per ear, so that one driver is covering EVERYTHING from 20Hz to 40kHz. As such, it’s expected that imaging won’t be super detailed, so no surprise there. I was really hoping to see at least 2 drivers per ear. By contrast, my CCA C12 in-ear-monitors (IEM’s) that I use when playing on stage are about $50 and have 6 drivers PER EAR each playing a different frequency range. Needless to say, the imaging, and extension on those IEM’s is a LOT better than these headphones that cost 7x the price. Due to their small form factor, IEM’s can use armature drivers where ‘can’ style headphones like this can’t use armature drivers (not loud enough), but I would still like to see 2 dynamic drivers in these just to allow one driver to focus on the highs and the other to focus on the lows rather than having the one driver trying to play the whole shebang.- Minimal, but still present, “pressure” sensation when noise cancelling is on, but it’s not intrusive like a lot of other ANC headphones I’ve tried and effectively disappears when music is playing. Having a set of ANC headphones with “pressure” that grabs my attention is an absolute deal-breaker for me regardless of price point.Overall, these are going to be my go-to headphone for the office. They sound good enough (especially with some EQ), and are comfy enough, to have some background music playing for hours at a time while also cancelling out loud office talkers.

Can’t hear what you are saying. Incredible Sound and Noise Cancellation
I recently purchased the Sony WH-1000XM5, and these are hands down the best wireless noise-canceling headphones I’ve ever owned! The noise-canceling technology is simply unmatched, especially with the Auto Noise Canceling Optimizer that adapts to your environment. Whether I’m on a plane or in a busy coffee shop, I can completely tune out the world and focus on my music or calls.The sound quality is superb, offering deep bass, crisp highs, and rich mids. You can truly hear every detail of your favorite songs. It feels like a concert in my ears!What sets these apart for me is the crystal-clear hands-free calling. The microphone picks up my voice clearly, even in noisy environments, and I’ve had no complaints from anyone on the other end of the call.The Alexa integration is smooth, making it easy to control music, get updates, and more with just my voice. Battery life is fantastic, lasting me days on a single charge, and the comfort level is perfect for long hours of wear without any discomfort.Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM5 is worth every penny for those who want the best in sound quality, noise cancellation, and convenience. Highly recommended!

Easy intuitive use and perfect noise cancelling
The noise cancelling is outworldly good. The fit over the ears is comfortable, and the use is very intuitive. Two buttons (on/off/re-pair and noise cancellation on/off) are supplemented by gestures on the touch-sensitive surface over the right ear (move up: louder, down: less loud, forward: next piece, backward: previous piece, double-tap for pause, etc.)Very satisfied.

They have great sound
I love the head phone, they have great Bass sound. They work with both my Laptop, and Desk top computer.my problem is they was made for Apple made product. Like the iPhone, iPad. they won’t work with my Samsung made product, my Android Samsung galaxy S23. They work with my wife iPhone.

I thought it’s so much better than beats, but it turns out …
I had a beats headphone (bought with $150). After 2 years, the Mic died so I replaced it with this. I thought a $150 price boost means at least 20% quality boost.After trying it for 1 hour, I didn’t find any particular improvements in terms of sound quality (maybe it’s just me). The noise cancelling is better and it’s somehow easier to interact with it.In conclusion, the XM5 is nice overall, but not very impressive.

Great for gaming (with glasses)!
I use the Sony XM5s with my PC, and they’re some of the best headphones I’ve ever had. The battery life is outstanding, lasting around 50 hours, and they charge super fast—just 30 minutes gives you nearly two days of use!The Bluetooth range is incredible when connected to a phone, but it’s more limited on PC, reaching about 10 feet or so.They’re incredibly lightweight—almost feather-like—and very comfortable for extended wear. After 2-3 hours, my ears do start to feel a bit sore, so I usually take a short break to let them breathe

Outstanding noise cancelling and audio performance. Software leaves a bit to be desired.
The headphones have very good noise cancelling and sound performance. The Bluetooth connectivity can reach further than my smart watch. Battery life is so long that they don’t even reach 50% battery after wearing them for over 12 hours. The included cables are as good as they need to be. The noise cancelling can bring a lawn mower engine down to around 50 db. They are very comfortable and are pretty adjustable.One star off because the headphones connect app is not very well translated. For instance: the factory reset button is written as “Initialize settings”. Another issue I’ve had is the lack of a switch input button. When using dual input, the headphones occasionally do not switch because something on my computer is still technically playing audio. It will even fight manual changes in the app for the switching. The music provider specific functions are not ideal and I would prefer if the same functionality could be applied to any app.All in all, the noise cancelling performance of these headphones alone makes them worth the money. If you are looking also at the software features do note that you may have to tinker a bit.

ANC very good but bad ear cups and bad sound quality
I like music so the sound quality on these were a no go for me. Off the bat they were comically bassy. The app (which connected no problem, bravo!) has a handy EQ that I adjusted to really turn down the bass so that it didn’t drown/muddy the entire rest of the spectrum… but then it just sounded kind of stale, like I adjusted so many ways but the clarity just wasn’t there and music sounded bad like I was listening on cheap headphones when these otherwise should be so good. This might be a preference thing. I am biased toward Sennheisers sound, and I did try their Momentum 4 which sounded beautiful out of the box but the ANC just wasn’t cutting it and it’s ultimately what I’m getting noise cancelling headphones for. With EQ adjustment I thought the Bose Quiet comfort headphones had way more to work with sound quality wise and I kept the Bose in the end.Back to Sony… another thing I was disappointed by was the design of the earcups. They are so shallow that it sits on your ears and presses on them. Eventually the ears get hot and uncomfortable. I didn’t get to the point of my ears hurting, however, because due to the shallowness it had nothing to hold onto, and while I was doing tasks like picking up dishes from the dishwasher or tying off the garbage bag, it would just slip off my ears and I’d have to stop what I’m doing to adjust. Super disruptive and not conducive to blocking sound when it slips off that easily.It’s too bad because the ANC really is impressive. It goes real quiet. If you stay very still and don’t mind your ears getting toasty, and love big bass above all other frequencies, buy these.I thought the minimalist design overall was very stylish but on my head the band didn’t look as good as I had hoped. It is sort of a thick band and curves in a circular sort of shape that I don’t think is flattering for me. Again I may be biased toward the Sennheiser look, which I think looks way more cool. But these ended up looking a bit dorky on me. Which I’d care about more if they even stayed on my head. These look better than the Bose QCs though.Touch controls work surprisingly well! Responsive sounds are pleasant. Very sensitive so I did set them off (skipped an entire song smh) while taking off a shirt, etc. I do think it’s smart that a single tap does nothing and you have to double tap to play/pause, otherwise I’d be accidentally playing and pausing a lot. Sennheiser M4 does single tap play/pause so don’t take it for granted.

Headaches after 1 hour of use but sound quality and connectivity were a win
I gave these a try as my primary work headset, with my key priorities being comfort and connectivity. Sound quality was important, but not a deciding factor. These checked most of the boxes; they sounded great and had the a very stable connection (0 issues during my trial of this set), but the comfort for some reason wasn’t there.For the price, I was hoping I could wear this headset for 5-6 hours without issue during my work day, but they fell far short. I don’t know why, but after 1 hour of use I consistently had a headache. I tried for several days over several calls and had the same result without any indiciation that it would improve, and since the goal of these was work calls over Teams and Zoom, I could not keep them.There are definite pros to this set though and I’m sure it’s a me thing as far as why I was getting headaches (tons of reviews dispute my personal findings). The audio quality over BT was exceptional. I found it odd that it wouldn’t work over USB-C while it charged, but maybe that’s not an industry standard thing (my last headset did this so I got used to it). The connectivity was incredible; no issues with dropping during calls and very fast reconnecting. Handled multiple devices flawlessly. The app was nice. Overall I liked it but could not justify keeping it at this price when I couldn’t wear it more than 1 hour.

Best in its class
After having used these headphones on a daily basis, I can confidently say this was one of my best purchases of the year. I’m often at home in our apartment and the Premium Noise-cancelling provides a top quality listening experience while blocking out the harsh noise of the hustle and bustle of the streets right below. The headphones are very simple to use and come with 2 buttons as well as touch controls that seemed straightforward and easy to memorize. I have found they easily connect and hold bluetooth connection for as long as I need. They sit comfortably on my head for hours at a time and feel lightweight, I often forget to take them off when I leave my desk. For a college student, I found the price very accessible and worth the premium experience the Sony Headphones provided.

Great sound, noy durable
I “upgraded” from the XM3s. It feels more like a downgrade in terms of quality. The sound and noise canceling features are pretty comparable though and to be fair, the sound is amazing. They do feel heavy on my head after teleworking all day and the materials definitely feel of a cheaper quality than the XM3s. Mine also started to fall apart after about a year of use. I also do not like that they do not fold as compactly as the XM3s for travel. Overall, I will not purchase again and recommend the XM3s over this model.

Not worth the cost
I read the reviews from those claiming professional audio experience with considerable respect and anticipation. I enjoy high quality music components – my taste has always been heavily rooted in 70’s Rock.As a drummer, and a serious music collector, I still enjoy the drive, spectrum, and talent that produces each part of the music – even though it is now rarely evident in today’s world of “noise”.I used a set of Bose QC35 headphones as my means of listening to music while mowing grass on my ZTR. These worked sufficiently while also giving an impressive rendering of music fidelity – all things being considered.After a few years I wanted to see if an upgraded setup was available – so the research, shopping, and review reading led me to buy these Sonys – despite that brand name not being one commonly associated with HQ headsets in the audiophile realm.Honestly – “overall” – It has been a disappointing decision made thus far. I get the feeling that the ANC is where the tech was implemented, not necessarily in the fidelity, styling, or sound drive.Other reviews adequately describe the somewhat cheap materials used. The lack of any manual buttons or controls on the set, coupled with the total lack of any printed manual is cheap IMO. Its case and packaging appear to be recycled – as a demonstration of Sony’s participation in the myth of climate change – so the tech stuff like “duo CPU and 8 mics” thing – gets a little drowned out.The folks at Bose use to piss everyone off in refusing to publish specs. They would reply “just give our speakers a listen”. And to a large extent – I think that applies here.These headphones do have a very good frequency spectrum , SNR, and although I have not thoroughly tested it yet – I’d bet the ANC works very well.The minimalist will love the flat black (or silver) shaved exterior. The one little paper included in the box (besides ads and the warranty) is a safety sheet that only lists ALL the MANY THINGS you should NOT do with them. Nothing is written inside to say how they can be used or enjoyed.You must download the “CONNECT” app, create an account, and use the phone app to set up and control the headphones. NOTHING is possible without doing that. (One more tether to tie you to your phone).Of course you read the terms and agreement when you open your account too – (and they wouldn’t dare use any of your PI, nor would your privacy ever be invaded).So I listened to the sound – and it is as good – perhaps a tiny bit better – than my Bose.But at a much higher cost – AND not until signing up & using the app to adjust the Sound. They are very lifeless without setting up the equalizer AND pushing the volume to FULL. This is a must.I’m not sure they even have the volume output of the Bose. That is a major concern to me due to my particular use – AND that I do like music to be fairly loud (and clear).Lastly, iPhone users – if you don’t play the game of getting the latest iOs revisions, certain functionality may not be provided. So iPhone users be sure to check on that.With such a price tag – and so many ties to endure – to gain and maintain full functionality with these, it may keep “fence sitters” like myself from returning them (after going through so much just to test them out).“Others” – who seem so thrilled – throwing 5 star reviews on everything they try, (and probably listening to compressed MP3 formats) will give Sony the goAhead on these. But I am not so thrilled. I like quality to be in all aspects of the equipment. And I like the USER to be in full control.There may be more to what Sony is getting here – than their customers.

Best noise canceling headphones
I own the AirPods Max, but I think the this sonys headphones are better at noise cancellation. The adaptive noise feature is not as good, but I does the job just fine.

Great find!
I’ve had Bose Quiet Comfort 35, Bose NC700, Apple AirPods Max and these ones have by far the best isolation and call quality sound! Strongly recommend!

Could use more volume level
I have some Bowers and Wilkens, about five years old (I believe P5s), which sound better. The technology in these is better, though, and muting down when you start talking is excellent.

Excellent noise-canceling mic!
Negatives:The band is tight. I cannot imagine wearing these throughout a 4+ hour airplane flight.But that’s part of the extremely effective noise reduction.The app’s server connection was unreliable for me, and the login process far to “secure” with difficult capcha matches, and after each failure, one’s password must be re-entered. But you don’t need the app for excellent function.Positives:- Outstanding microphone noise cancellation. This is active all the time, whether or not ANC is on for listening. Speaking over to phone from a coffee shop (ceiling music, arguing staff, dishes clanking, a family conversation and squalling baby 15 feet away), the listener could hear little or no background noise.It is very, very hard to get any information on actual performance on noise-canceling mics in buds or headphones. I finally found soundboys-dot-com, who way down near the bottom of their reviews have actual recordings in standardized noisy environments.I’ve slowly migrated, over 6 years, through three units: First, an ANC open-ear headset with a boom mic that I assumed would work well because close to my mouth. My wife casually observed that I spoke very loudly when dictating, especially. I wrongly thought this because we don’t hear our own voice well when our ears are covered. Then I forgot these on the train, and bought Beats for convenience — the band and magnetic latches in the buds make loss difficult. These surprised me by having MUCH better mic performance — never needed to raise my voice in a quiet environment for good speech recognition. But in noisy environments (riding in a car or airplane. sitting an an airport waiting area, cafe, etc.), they failed. With dictation, I had to cup my hand over my mouth and the mic to avoid unseemly shouting, and then quickly hold the mic in my hand to suppress the noise during my silences. It’s interesting to me that voice recognition works better with ANC off, because then I hear my own speech volume more accurately and can modulate that realistically. Yes, one does need to speak louder in a very noisy environment, or simply talk into one’s hand to reflect the sound back to the mics when one wants to be private. These Sony headphones are exactly what I need.For me, the excellent music quality is simply the frosting on the cake. – One can plug in a standard mini stereo plug and the phones just work.. (There are stereo to USB adapters readily available.)

Not the best
These are the best at noise cancelling and making calls if that’s what you’re looking for. Like legit they are the best if you need to make a call in a noisy environment.But they aren’t the most comfortable headphones. I’d definitely go for the Bose if that’s what you’re looking for.And the sound quality feels kind of cheap similar to many other consumer market headphones that amplify the lows/base and the highs but drowns out all the detail in the middle. The sennheiser 4 momentum may be a better headphone if you’re just looking for the best sound.Also, these headphones do seem to have an issue with breaking around the latch. There’s a theory that the screw inside the headphones gradually unscrews which then permits them to swivel beyond their intended range thus causing the plastic band to unexpectedly break.Further, if you’re only going to be using these headphones are your computer then you should definitely opt for a corded version. All bluetooth/wireless headphones do have a delay that can impact things like gaming and you can find much better sounding corded headphones for half the price of these.

Wonderful!
The sound and the comfort of these headphones are excellent. I travel a lot and my AirPod Pros hurt the inside of my ears. These are so soft and lightweight! Thank you Amazon for the excellent deal on this set. I purchased them “like new” because the box was a little beat up. They were never opened and perfect on the inside. This saved me a lot of money. I am so excited to use these for my next trip.

Went back to my Bose 700s
TL;DR: The sound is decent but not mind-blowing after you get the EQ dialed in. Before dialing in the EQ, they’re very average and even a little muddy; definitely not worth $400 imho. They also creak ENDLESSLY while wearing glasses (not necessarily the fault of Sony but it did happen, it did annoy me, and I did return it for that reason). They sound very compatible to Bose 700s. If you choose to buy these, absolutely wait until they’re $250 or less.About me: I am an amateur audiophile. I have 20 years experience being fussy about the sound that comes out of audio devices. It has to be at least good. I can’t stand it when you’re listening to something and it’s muddy or obfuscated or doesn’t give you the full sound because of inadequacies of the device. That being said, I don’t know all the audio-related terms or specs and I am not an audio engineer.I read a ton of reviews and watched a ton of YouTube videos (especially from This is Tech Today) about these headphones. I am a longtime Bose fan, starting with the QC 15s, then the 35s, 35iis, and now the 700s. I used the 700s for almost 2 years before I started itching to know what else was out there. I came across This is Tech Today’s multiple videos showcasing the sound of industry leading headphones, and I was horrified by how flat and awful the Bose sounded. Clearly I was missing out on a LOT.Price and feel—-I bought these Sony XM5s at full price (long story, don’t recommend it). My first impression after receiving them is that they certainly didn’t feel like $400 headphones. MAYBE $200, but that’s a tough maybe. The material is very light and eco-plasticky. They feel like that plastic that’s designed to be biodegradable (I don’t know if they are; that’s just what it feels like). I was prepared for that based on others’ reviews, so I didn’t hold that against them initially.Comfort—-When I first put them on, they were comfortable enough. After long wear sessions with my Bose 700s, I found the band to be a little uncomfortable on the very top of my head and I was worried these would be similar with the same form factor, but they’re light enough that they are comfortable for long periods.Sound—-At first, the sound was disappointing. Like all of you, I have certain songs I use to test sound from various devices and this was not giving me the full effect of these songs. I went to the internet for some EQ recommendations specific to the XM5s and this made a HUGE difference. They sounded pretty good.I no longer had my Bose 700s at this point (sold them to purchase these because I’m not made of money), but I used my partner’s Bose QC35ii to test against. I didn’t realize this until I went to test, but the Bose 35ii don’t have an EQ setting in the Bose app. You get what you get. And what I got sounded VERY comparable to the EQ-adjusted XM5s. I spent a solid hour listening to the same test songs over and over with both, and while the Sonys come out just a little bit ahead, it’s not a difference you’re going to notice if you aren’t directly comparing the two side by side. I wouldn’t even miss it knowing about the difference if I had to use the QC35ii.Sony app—-This app looks like it’s from 2005. It’s a little painful to use. I could learn to live with it, and it does what you need it to do, but it certainly isn’t an easy or enjoyable app to use as of June 2023.The creaking—-This is what did it for me. I wear glasses. I also wear headphones/a headset for 8 hours a day for work, and then another few hours for gaming in the evening. Without glasses, these creaked ever so slightly once in a great while. They’re made of plastic so it’s going to happen, and I could live with that. However, once I put on my glasses, the cushions against my frames creaked when I breathed. Or blinked. And if I turned my head, good lord the creaking. It was all I could hear, even while listening to music at inadvisably loud volumes.The verdict—-I returned these and re-purchased the Bose 700s and I couldn’t be happier.Again, I’m no audio engineer. I’m not claiming to be. But for me and my use cases, and my personal opinion on the value for money, I’m giving my money to Bose. I get more for less.

Stylish, Durable, Effortless Sound
Sony has nailed the sleek, minimalist look with this model. The headphones look elegant and sophisticated, perfect for both casual and professional settings. The muted color options and clean lines make them a great accessory that complements any outfit or setting. The build quality of the Sony WH-1000XM5 is superb, with a sturdy yet lightweight design that feels solid but not bulky. This was a gift to my boyfriend and he’s been enjoying them very much! They’re durable enough to withstand regular use without showing wear.

Love these!
Okay I have to admit when I first saw these things in Best buy I thought they were the ugliest thing ever but honestly I think it was just the lighting there. They’re actually some really nice looking headphones.Sound- these are absolutely incredible I’m hearing notes and backup singers and different nuances in music I didn’t know existed and I’ve tried four or five different of the top line pairs including the JBLs, the boses, and the studio beats pro.These absolutey beat every other pair I tried and it wasn’t even close. If I had to rate them in order these will be number one, The beats pro would come in at number two, The JBLs were number three and bose would be dead last.Comfort: I can wear these all day with no problem My ears will not be hurting the headphones themselves are very plush and comfortable and I have a smaller head in comparison to a lot of the headphones I’ve tried and the adjustment sizes are really great no matter what your head size is. The only downside is of how insulated I think the inner ear cuffs are because it will make your ear sweat after a while because it keeps your ears pretty toasty.And coming up on the number one reason why I bought these, these by far have the clearest sounding calls of all the headphones I’ve tried people on the other line can hear me clearly I can hear them clearly the Bluetooth syncs pretty effortlessly.Even the custom sound profiles that you can access during the app make it even better.The battery life is pretty good I can go pretty much 3 days 4 days without charging on one use I would have to say you probably can get a solid 24-30 hours runtime out of them.Literally the only thing that could be better on these is since they are made by Sony you would think they would hook up effortlessly to the PS5 and it does not which is really annoying considering it’s the same company. You can still hook them up via audio jack into your controller and it works fine but I just think it’s ridiculous that Sony will not let it be Bluetooth compatible to another Sony product like that.Overall even though it’s pricey I think it’s worth it and you’re not going to do better than these headphones.Yes I actually own this product and I paid full price for them I am not a reviewer In fact I hardly ever come on here to review unless something’s really great or something’s really terrible.

Sound Quality Superb, But Uncomfy
Everything’s excellent- sound quality, ANC. However, I returned it because it keeps disconnecting from my devices and it’s hurting my head.

Great Sound
Sound quality is great overall,I would rate 5 stars if it wasn’t for a small issue; these stay on if you have them connected to its aux cord into your PC (even if the PC is off, these headphones will stay on) and the next day you try to use them, they will always be under 20% if you’re lucky, 10% if you’re not.Now I know that the solution is to disconnect them, but sometimes I end up forgetting (at least they charge quickly, just gotta wait about 30 minutes to an hour depending on your patience).

Volume Controls Are Very Problematic
I bought this in late 2023 as he Sony brand has always held a bit of panache for me (and, others). So it was a no-brainer.Prior to buying these headphones, I had used and loved my Jabra headphones which I still use and still love. Sadly, while the Jabra’s sound and ease-of-use was superb, the ear cushions did brcke down too” And so I through, “WTH . . . let’s see what the Sony headphones are like.”What these do very well: 1. Sound quality I’m sure there are better headphones out there, but these are pretty danged good quality 2. Comfort Sony did well here. I use them for making / taking calls and I can leave them on all day without a problem. 3. Battery Life Again, these last me a whole day — making and taking calls and listening to music, radios and TVWhat these do NOT do well: 1. External controls Simply unacceptable when you need to change the volume from the headphones quickly and easily. I own a different brand of headphones (Jabra) that uses a ‘mechanical’ button to easily adjust volume — the Sony headphones require running your finger/s over the headphone’s surface to make changes. This functionality rarely works. And, when you need to adjust the volume, it’s extremely frustrating to do so using the headphones. 2. Noise Cancelation Again, a key frustration for me. When I use it, a different tone follows each setting. My Jabra uses actual voices vs. tones. For example, my Jabra says, “Noise-cancelation OFF” — the Sony just emits a tone/ And, because the directions are so bad, you can’t find out what each tone suggests. Also, the N/C functionality it far less effective at killing ambient noise than I find I get from my other headphones. 3. Software Sony’s software is far more complex than is actually needed to what it’s designed to do — LISTEN to good music, take calls, etc. Even though Sony’s manual allegedly explains how to use the software, due to its complexity of it, most won’t use nearly half of what it could do for you. Again, a missed opportunity here, as well.QUESTION: I’m often asked, “Would I buy the Sony over the Jabra if I had to buy another set?” Candidly, “No, I wouldn’t. Why do you ask?” Both are good brands and the sound quality and ability to take / make calls are good (Though Jabra is better). But the horrific (IMHO) volume controls the Sony has as well as the noise-cancellation argue Sony made something good . .. good and complex. Still, the SONY headphones are good but they still need to refining them so they work as you’d expect.

Comparison to Bose NC700
I have used Bose NC700 for the past year, but saw these on sale for a great price and decided to try them. I had the XM4’s for a short time but had to return them because they were too creaky while wearing them. Luckily I have not had that same issue so far with the XM5’s. My biggest priorities for headphones is comfort, sound quality (both for music and phone calls), and noise cancellation.ComfortThe XM5’s have ear cups that are slightly larger than the XM4s and they also look slightly larger than the NC700s. This helps them go over the ears better. However, the NC700s have slightly thicker padding which makes the inside of the cup a little deeper. For this reason, I would say that the NC700s are a bit more comfortable for long periods. The XM5s are very comfortable, but after a couple of hours, I definitely start to feel them more than the NC700s. But both are great.Sound QualityThis is a matter of preference, but I prefer the deeper bass and fuller sound of the XM5s. I would say the NC700s have a more balanced sound, with far less low end. The XM5s really give a nice full bass, without it being over-bearing. I do prefer a bit more lower end than what the Bose provides. So for me, I prefer the sound quality of the XM5s quite a bit more than the NC700s.Call QualityI use my headphones for work calls several hours a day. Both the XM5 and the NC700 have great call quality and will work really well if you use them for phone calls or Zoom meetings a lot. I think I’d give the edge to the XM5s because they block out ambient noise slightly better than the NC700s, but the difference is negligible.Noise CancellationI mean, these are high end headphones and both do a great job with noise cancellation. I will say, I was surprised at how much noise the XM5s can block out. They block out voices and medium pitched noises better than the NC700s. They are both great with lower pitched things like plane noise. But I think the XM5s do a better job overall.Build Quality and DesignThis is where the Bose NC700s are just better than the XM5s. The build of the NC700s is just beautiful. They feel substantial without being too heavy, and there isn’t a seam anywhere. I also think they just look amazing. The XM5s do have seams around the ear cups and they feel much more plasticky. The XM5s are not bad, but they just are not as good as the NC700s as far as design and build quality.Battery LifeThe battery on the NC700 lasts me around 13 or 14 hours. The XM5s last around 25 hours. So it’s a pretty big difference. Charging speed seems about the same with both.Odds and EndsFeatures of each are similar. They both offer pass through audio and it works well on both. Touch controls work equally well on both. The case of the XM5s is a little bigger than the NC700s, if that matters to you. One small difference that may make a difference to some is that if you want to use the cord to plug them into a 3.5mm headphone jack, the end the plugs into the NC700s is 2.5mm. So if you lose the included cord, you will need a specific type of aux cord to replace it (2.5mm to 3.5mm). Whereas the XM5 uses a regular 3.5mm to 3.5mm aux cord.Overall I do like these Sonys better. I just wish they had the comfort and build quality of the Bose. But because of the superior noise cancellation and sound quality, I’m going to be using the Sonys from now on.

Noise canceling ✔️ Phone calls 👎🏻
I’m autistic and the sound of lawn mowers make me want to die casually. Summertime is the worst. I have no idea why everyone on the planet is obsessed with mowing their lawn. I digress. I needed the top noise canceling headphones after they were casually mowing 4 days a week at my office. I kid you not. I can’t handle it. These are phenomenal for canceling sound. My neighbor also blasts terrible music outside and these totally block that. However, for nearly 500 bucks, people should be able to hear me in a call. I can’t yell in office and I shouldn’t need to. I have sony noise ones and the call quality is significantly better. I appreciate how great these are for noise, but also dude they should be great in every category for the price imo. They charge very quickly and on the same charger as my phone, which I love. Usb c. Still, rather disappointing.. I also feel like the buttons are not super easy to understand. I.e. I didn’t read those more than once and now I have to go back and read them. I will say one feature I like is that if I take off my headphones, it auto pauses my audio and will restart it when I put it back on. I wear headphones minimum 40 – 50 hours a week. 🤷🏻♀️

Travel and Work Calls
I was hesitant to buy these on price point alone. I have iPod pro’s but wanted something for my long flights without hurting my ears and for work while sitting in coworking spaces.The app has a lot in it and you have to download 2 or 4 different ones. Which is kind of annoying. But, the setup is pretty awesome and customization is where it is at. I thought I liked loud music, I just needed bass. The noise canceling is pretty strong and I can work while my brother watches football without distraction.Took them in a flight across the country and the noise cancelling was solid. Battery life is also great and the fact it is usb c makes all the difference. The swipe control took me a moment, but easy once you have done it a few times.Calls are pretty good. Most people hear me perfectly and a few mentioned that it has a bit of echo. Totally fine with me.Last thing, they are super lightweight compared to my older cheaper pair that I used to own.

Great ANC, Passthrough, and Audio Quality, but less comfortable and missing previous features
I’m no audiophile, just a bit more picky than most people, but you can find resources online with exact specifications about the audio quality. They’re certainly the best sounding headphones I’ve ever gotten.I own both the previous models, the WH-1000XM3 & XM4, and the quality of the sound, noise cancelling, and passthrough mode has gotten better with each iteration. The passthrough on these compared to the XM4’s now feels lile night and day, as these allow me to hear my surroundings far better.However, I have had a few small issues with these. The redesign of the headphone strap looks and feels more modern with a higher build quality than the previous versions, and they’re slightly lighter, but they’re a bit more uncomfortable to wear for long periods. The strap is thinner, so the pressure on the top of my head is spread out over a smaller area, which begins to hurt after a couple hours if I don’t wear a hat or hood to spread out the weight a bit. This is also somewhat avoidable by simply adjusting their position on my head every once in a while.One advantage these have over previous models is the ability to seamlessly switch between two connected devices, but this has it’s issues. I use a Samsung phone and a Windows PC, so results may vary, but often the computer will just take control of the headphones despite not playing anything. For example, I double tap the right ear cup to pause something playing on my phone, then a few seconds later, do the same to resume it. For some reason, the headphones often decide to switch control to the computer during that brief pause window, resuming whatever was playing on it, or just doing nothing at all if nothing was playing. This happens even if all the audio on the PC is muted, no programs are open, and no media is or was playing.The XM4’s had a handy solution for switching devices: NFC. I could hold my phone up to the headphones to quickly connect & disconnect it, making switching between devices quick even though only one could be connected at a time. I always knew which device the headphones were currently controlling. However, much to my surprise, the XM5’s completely lack any NFC functionality. This would be fine, if connecting to two devices at once didn’t have this issue. It’s not a dealbreaker, though, as I just have to remember to disconnect them from my PC when I get up, or spend a few extra seconds getting my phone out of my pocket every time I want to resume something I was listening to.If you get these, here’s a tip: don’t clip your nails in passthrough mode. Something about the sound of clipping nails causes the passthrough mode to make a loud, high-frequency noise and shut off for about a second. This also happens for some other loud sounds, but clipping nails consistently causes it.In conclusion, I do believe that the XM5’s were a worthy upgrade for me from the 4’s. The improvements in noise cancellation are a godsend when there’s constant noise around the house, which is all the time. I do wish there were an option to turn off the weird adjustments the ANC makes sometimes to try to adapt to the environment, as occasionally it will try to adjust each ear individually, resulting in a weird pressure sensation in my head due to the uneven audio cancelling.

Smaller heads, folks with hair, and sensitive temples..read this
First off, I havent had a chance to test all functionality yet. I am coming here in hopes of helping someone else out with their frustration.If you’re nervous about dropping the money, do it. The app (if you let it) will track your usage. Get them, set an alert for a day or two before the return period is up. Try them out and then check your usage when the alarm goes off. If you need/use headphones I almost guarantee youre going to find these worth it.RE: Small headsYour head might not be too small. I realized after two days of use I was fitting them more like traditional headphones and they were siting on one or two lobes very slightly.When you fit, and while you get used to putting them on, I suggest:- lengthening the headand (as app suggests)- ‘scooping’ your ears lobes up and inside the pads rather than under them at all- then gently fitting headbandOnce I started doing this my fit issues nearly dissappeared(hair..). Biggest issue now is the band material is not grippy at all and I have very smooth/slick hair, so it wiggles a bit. If I troubleshoot around this I will update.Of note and Re:Sensitive TemplesThese do not need to be as secure over all (other than having the suction over the ears) as you will not want these to get wet, period. These are not designed for exercise or heavy movement. They are sufficiently set for walking around or hanging out, this protects you from losing suction without significant pressure on your temples and keeps these super light headphones EXTREMELY comfortable. Which for someone like me that gets migraines with nearly ANY temple pressure has been… life changing.The suction aspect for proper noise cancelation is fairly fundamental. It’s an even bigger deal with these as they’ll adjust sound and I could see if suction was lost at an inopportune moment it could be…uncomfortable.RE: HairY’all, your hair is going to need to be out of the way. I have already noticed that one or two small strands will absolutely affect the seal. I won’t notice it immediately but when I move around or talk I’ll notice a sound change (almost like a varying level of wubba womp like entering a tunnel or in elevation changes) and at the corresponding ear I’ll find hair between my ear and headphones. If you experience this in one or both ears…check for anything preventing a seal! It’s annoying to navigate but as with adjusting the fit as above the more I do it, the easier it is to do upfront/as second nature.The app is fairly easy to navigate but has a small learning curve, nothing atronimical. The only other app ive used for headphones was Jabra about 2 years ago. Theyve likely updated since but compared to the 2020 Jabra app..this app is night and day better in terms of navigation and ease of use.So far my only con has been switching between my TV and my phone. This could be me, I think this may just be a learning curve I havent yet had time to solve. What it was doing: Paired to both. Switched to phone to do some Duolingo. For some reason any adjustment i made unpaused my TV and swapped where the sound was coming from. When I re-paused my TV I’d have to reselect my phone..and then it would do this again. So for now Im just leaving the TV unpaired. I mostly dont need this anyway but thought it might be nice for my neighbors late at night.Summation without even talking about its sound quality, noise cancelation and other functions (which are amazing):These headphones are worth the price tag for the lack of weight on my temples ALONE. Everything else is icing on the cake.If something changes I will absolutely return here to update.

The MX5s are not perfect but I am still happy with my purchase.
The MX5s are not perfect but I am still happy with my purchase.I originally owned a pair of Bose 700 so my comparison is against them.BuildThe build of the MX5 is on par with the 700s. They have a matte finish which feels nice and grippy to the touch. The buttons have a nice feed back when pushing them. Compared to the 700s the feedback is night and day. For the 700s I would often think that I was hitting the button because it had such lite feedback with a squishy feel.The weight of the MX5 seems to be just a bit lighter than the 700s which I count as a positive because 700s relied more on the headband to carry the weight of the headphones versus clamping force against the ear cups. The MX5s have slightly lighter clamping force on the ear cups but not too little that they feel like they will fall off. They are a great balance of clamping force and weight that neither the headband nor the clamp force feel like they are carrying the full load. The lighter weight and balanced clamping force make them very nice to wear for long stretches while working. Compared to the 700s I would often start feeling fatigue on my head where the headband would sit because all the weight was supported across it.The ear cups are also a bit wider on the MX5 but a bit shallower when compared to the 700s. I have ears that stick out a bit more so with the 700s the extra room is welcome. The shallower MX5 do fatigue my ears after a while of wearing them but this was after a full day of wearing them.The headband adjustment is a bit sticky for my taste. It’s a bit difficult to adjust the MX5s because the fulcrum point get the leverage to adjust them sits much higher along the headband compared to the 700s which I can easily adjust with one hand if needed. However, its the 700s would also lose the adjustment very easily compared to the MX5s when moving around because they rubbed against a headrest.Noise CancellingI won’t focus on the sound quality because I am not an audiophile. However, the noise cancelling is fantastic. I would consider them to be a step above the 700s.Extra SettingsThe app gives you a ton of settings to play around with. The main things I find to be better than the 700s is that the MX5s bluetooth is much better. I live near a rather large radio antenna so interference with wireless signals is extremely high. Walking in the other room my 700s would start breaking and stuttering teh signal before disconnecting. The antenna for the MX5s must be better because I can go a bit give or take an additional 5-10 feet. Also when using connecting to 2 sources the switching is seemless. Once sounds stops on one device the second device starts playing right away. My 700s sometimes would refuse to switch and be stuck on one source until I would restart the device or manually disconnect one source.The app also lets you assign the noise cancellation double a triple tap actions to start a directly interact with a service like spotify. Actually only spotify. I wish the button customization would be opened up to other actions since I don’t use spotify its a dead feature for me. The same button can also turn off/on noise cancelling but rather the headphones given a verbal sentence like “Noise Cancelling 5” to let me that I am in ambient sound mode. I need to learn the sound of 3 different tones. The 700s would do and I miss that feature and they would also let you customize the noise cancelling levels that you could cycle through. I’d like to be optimistic and say that sony can adjust these features later but they don’t appear to be in the habit of adding features to the app. I also own a pair of the XM4s which are the in noise canceling headphones and I haven’t notice anything new in the app since I got them.

Great Sound Quality, Cheap Construction
These headphones were mostly great for the first 18 months or so I owned them, good sound quality and ANC, comfortable, but the hinges on the earphones are quite fragile and made out of ultra-thin plastic. One of the hinges broke from normal desk use for 18 months. A more paranoid person might think they were intentionally designed to break right after the warranty expires. It’s also a pretty horrible part to break as taping it back together is tricky and it doesn’t last for long before needing to be re-taped.I was always SUPER gentle with them, never dropped, twisted, or yanked on them — always took them off with both hands. Even if I did, I’d expect a $400 pair of headphones to be able to take a little bit more wear.My old Sony XM2 is far better built and is still going strong. The hinges pre-XM5 all seem to have the same design with either metal or thicker plastic — not sure which it is as they’re not broken :).If you are debating between XM4 and XM5, I’d recommend the XM4 as they are mostly the same, only the XM4 fold down into a smaller case and have better hinges, though they do weigh slightly more. There’s very little difference in ANC between my XM2 and the XM5.

Perfect for traveling
I bought it for the noise canceling, loved it because of the case, battery life, and the surprises it packs. Firstly, the noise canceling is amazing. I mean it really dampers down on any low frequency white noises, while still allowing a little bit of speech through. I mean the noise canceling combined with music at like 50% volume is easily enough to drown out almost any noise. I bought it to bring it on a 9 hour flight and didn’t think about it much. I realized way too late that I didn’t have any wired headphones for the plane to watch movies. Right before I was about to buy some wired ones I open the case to find out there’s a 2.5 to 2.5 connector in the case, along with a type c cable for charging. My only complaint is that the noise canceling and power buttons are a little too close together. It’s okay cause I know I’ll get used to it, but still. Oh and the coolest thing is the touch controls on the side, raise the volume, skip track, pause track. Oh man I love it. Definetly can reccomend, especially the amazon warehouse ones if you can snag one

Magical.
As a college student, I get a lot of use out of headphones while walking around campus and while studying, and these are insanely good. I like studying around others, but don’t necessarily like hearing a lot of noise, but in noise cancelling mode and with music on at a low/moderate volume, I can hear NOTHING! It’s so trippy but so nice. The touch controls are great for changing volume or songs since I don’t need to take my phone out and inevitably get distracted. Great battery life as well, considering I use them for probably 3-5 hours a day. They are expensive, but if you wait for them to go on sale (like I did), it will be even more worth it. However, I still would have paid full price for them and been satisfied, but if you’re on a budget, waiting for a sale might be smarter, but they are a worthy investment since I hope they will last at least 3-4 years.

Light and incredible sound!
I ended up with mine as an accidental order when my wife completed some shopping she did. I was considering these because they were on sale and heard really good things about them. Instead of cancelling the order, I figured I’d give these a shot as the Apple Airpod Max I have was giving me a headache.Setting these up were easy, particularly with the help of the Sony Headphone app but the big surprise was how light they are and how little clamping force there was to my big head. The ANC works perfectly and I’d have to say that it works better than the Airpod Max. The big surprise was the quality of the audio. While I still use the Max for daily work (audio quality of the mics seem to be better than Sony, but that’s totally subjective), I use these Sony headphones for listening to music, video conferences and phone calls if I happen to have them on.The thing I like with these headphones that I don’t have with some of the other BT headphones I’ve had is the ability to store all of the devices I’ve paired with without having to repair from the headphones. The headphones themselves will connect to 2 devices, but the Sony app allows the headphones to reconnect with other devices without having to go through the pairing process by simply swapping out a current paired device with the one you want to use. While not as seamless as the Apple’s W1 chip with Apple devices, the Sony app allows me to manage connections between Apple, Windows and Android.

Would have been a 5m but…
The battery life is amazing, the recharge time is very short and the noise cancelling is great. This product would have received 5-stars, if it wasn’t for a comfort issue. The headband sometimes gets painful on the top of the head. The band does have some minor cushioning, but if you have any “bony” areas along where the top of the band rests and you’re bald or have close-cropped hair, it can become a sharp pain. Would be nice if the band was about twice the width, it would displace the weight better and maybe prevent as much pressure.

Great headphones
I love these headphones just a few nit picky things but let’s start with the positive. The noise cancellation calibration is automatic so when you first put them on you will hear everything around you and then in under 10 seconds the world will quiet down being almost silent a lot of the time. They also don’t hurt your head after wearing them for a while and the leather feels really nice and smooth. Into to my not picky things there could be a little more foam, the case is kind of big, the touch pad can be very sensitive but also hard to use at times, and then this might just be a me thing or something I’m doing but sometimes the headphones will just randomly make beeping noise

Very good, Works for Gaming too, Make use of the App
I was initially very disappointed with these headphones until I downloaded the app. It makes the headset super customizable and really helps you get the sound you want. Very comfy and lightweight but not cheap feeling too. I’ve heard mixed reviews online for its gaming use as well. I don’t play a ton of competitive, online games, but it’s amazing for single player.

Sony never disappoints!
I thoroughly enjoy what Sony has to offer in their product line. I have the PlayStation 5, a Sony Bravia 4K TV and several other Sony products. Yes although I have owned a few of their product line I will not try to be biased here with the review. What got me into Sony products was really their earphones dating back to 2011! They have the best earphones you could get for $20 back at the time in 2011 and now the quality they still continue to put out never disappoints! Here’s the pros and cons of the Sony WH-1000XM5.Update: I also picked up the XM4 Earbuds from Sony and take note that those are on a different level for listening to music compared to the XM5 Over the Ear headphones. Shares the same features like the XM5, not the same sound like over the ear obviously but also more marketed to those who goes to the gym and likes something more compact.Pros:Comfortable and lightweight!I don’t ever have a complaint with what they have to offer when it comes to comfort. These are better than BOSE in regards as to comfort. I think the one thing that makes them comfortable also is that they are light. They weigh only about 0.56 pounds! People tend to have problems with headphones if they are heavy in my opinion! I also assume they use a low density memory foam for cushioning which is great but will eventually need to be replaced or tended to if left compressed or squished for too long.Unique featuresNoise Cancelling is top notch but not much different than their previous lines in my opinion! It is a standard these days to get noise cancelling and the headphones are great for drowning out noise if need be. They also tend to those who need to be aware of their surroundings by implementing a ambient mode like previous models. Works great and works like a charm by either taking the headphones off or covering the touch control panel. Also the Speak to Pause Music feature is insanely nice to have! Helps when your hands are busy and or you just don’t want to adjust your headphones having to speak.Superb sound!The sound quality out of these are amazing! Does really well in all areas of music genres. Particularly really in low frequencies for bass! I get to enjoy these at a great volume and it pairs amazingly with my PS5 as a gaming headset! (Will mention the headphones does not come with a microphone for gaming when using a headphone jack.) As a pair of noise cancelling headphones, you can expect to hear a positively good detail in music, movies, gaming or even a phone call! They are clear and surprisingly really balanced. The microphone on these headphones for phone calls are great. Better than the previous versions.Fast charging!The charging rate of these headphones is incredible! I never knew how fast charging can be with this! There’s times I have left this powered on overnight as I’m at work for my 10 hour job and it was drained by the time I wanted to use it again. In those times I left it charging and goodness greatness these were ready to go in a about 10-15 minutes! I enjoy these so much that I’m actually glad they have a 24-30 hour battery life.Cons:Cost.Its expensive! If you can get these on sale, it’s worthwhile! If it’s in your budget go for it! You pay for what you get in my opinion and these are worth their weight in gold!Fitment.They don’t exactly fit around my short wide neck whenever I need to take it off and be present in a conversation or in my surroundings. Not exactly a big matter or deal breaker. More so it’s a personal perspective. My neck size is 15 ¾ inches in circumference and that’s pretty average I believe. I have to extend these in order to keep them around my neck without compromise. They also do not fold inward like the previous Sony headphone models but again never a issue.Cushion. Yes the ear cup cushions are comfortable but again when I place them around my neck it compresses the cushion to a point where it feels awkward after putting it back on. I’m looking at other options to replace their soft fit leather design.Update: There is different earcups that you can replace the OEM cups with but it comes at a cost of I believe $60 which is worth noting.Conclusion.Worthiness of $350+ (price as of 12/07/2022) during the holidays? Yes!Personal opinionated review:Sony WH-1000XM5 or other leading competition? Sony, easily Sony. I’ve never been unhappy about this purchase and I tell people that Sony is industrial leading company that continues to impress people when it comes to their headphones. Beats by Dre(Apple), Apple and Bose has always been great by popularity but Sony gets appraised by quality!I will update this review as I go until they put a new model out.

Review After 2 Months
Quick take aways:Without an EQ, the headphones have a very very dark sound signature (I was not a fan)Sound very good for Bluetooth headphones with EQ, sound okay when wiredANC seems to be decent, lot of customisability in the appANC works well in standalone mode (without pairing)Battery life is goodNo form of sweat/water resistance is a minus but can be worked aroundHigh noise floor (if you care about that sort of thing)Optional pause with take off and resume with put on feature is amazing!As a preface, the Sony WH-1000XM5 are my first set of ANC headphones. I would consider myself a mild audiophile (I have a DAC, AMP, and too many headphones). With that said, everyone’s ears are different so take this with an extra pinch of salt.Out of the box experience: The packaging was quite nice. It included a hard-shell carrying case, USB-C to USB-A charging cable, 1.2m long 3.5mm cable, and the headphones. The connection process for new devices is wonky and leaves a bit to be desired. The initial pairing did not work until I installed the Sony Headphones Connect app from the appstore. After this, you have to power off the device then power on and hold the power button for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode (confirmed by a vocal “pairing” from the headphones). The sound signature left a lot to be desired. For a bit of background, my favourite type of headphone is flat/neutral with a balanced sound signature. I enjoy heavy bass in electronic music and am sensitive to loud highs/mids (I get listener fatigue quite fast from it). I enjoy a lot of variety when listening to music an will try most things out. In particular I regularly listen to Classical, Avant-garde, Experimental, Easy listening, Electronic, Contemporary folk, Latin, Jazz, Rock, and some Traditional folk. I don’t tend to listen to much Blues, Rap, or Hip Hop. I occasionally listen to mainstream-Pop and Country.Without EQ, the sound signature is very very dark. The bass is very punchy and present, the mids are recessed, and the highs have their edge taken off. I was not a fan of it for anything but electronic tracks with no vocals and heavy bass. Even then, it wasn’t particularly amazing. Anything with vocals will sound horrendous (again, with no EQ) as the bass frequencies in voices will be very pronounced. The ANC worked well for me out of the box. For the open mode, I set it to let near voices through and ambient noise out. I use them with eyeglasses but the ANC still seems to work well. They do a particularly good job of filtering out A/C noises, the electronic whine that appliances generate (not all people can hear this), and running water. The ANC tends to struggle with erratic high pitched noises (as I understand it, most ANC systems do). However, it will dull the noise a tad through both the closed back headphone and ANC component.Adaptations Since I was not a fan of the sound profile out of the box, I set up an EQ profile with these headphones. The Sony Headphones Connect app includes an EQ but I found it to be extremely limited in terms of customisability (I did not like any of the presets that were offered) and not very user friendly. Due to this, I set up my own external EQ using AutoEq (on github) as a starting point. After fine tuning it to my preferences, using the headphones became a much much better experience. They sound very good for Bluetooth headphones. For genres where I like more bass, I strongly prefer the Sony headphones over my Sennheiser and prefer the Sony to my Bose. In wired mode, the headphones definitely sound better but no where near as good as my other wired headphones. If I’m attached to a wire, I would rather just switch to another pair of headphones. With that said, they do sound better if you leave the headphones on while connected with a cable. The ANC works well for me. If I use them for noise canceling without music, it can get unsettlingly quiet in the mornings (which is a great thing). Around others, particularly in the kitchen, the headphones do a very good job of dulling and eliminating noises. The pass through function works well in the event of conversation. I am a very quiet eater but these headphones did a great job canceling out all noises while I ate. I don’t use these headphones outside, so I do not know how well they perform with nature’s noises. The gesture controls included are useful but a bit too involved to be my go to. If I have physical access to my device, I prefer to use that to control the music. However, the pause on take off feature is amazing! It consistently pauses my media any time I have to take my headphones off and resumes right where it left off and soon as I put it on. Simply magic is the only way I have to explain it (the function can be turned off if you don’t like/want it).

Get these. The Bose ultra comforts are garbage
More comfortable, warmer sound, noise canceling has gotta be the same, but in reality much better because the Bose don’t even seal around your ears that well. And the Bose feel like trash because they’re so uncomfortably made.These are it. Even the complaint about the carrying case is wrong. You can just take these off and put them straight in the case. Whereas the Bose? You have to push the ear cups all the way back into the headband and fold them up. Then hope you don’t pinch your fingers off when you unfold them. The Sony case is this nice quality made fabric case with a nice texture to it with a magnetic closed compartment that holds the audio and charging cables.They also recently got a firmware update, so the bass is much more clarity focused rather than boomy sounding.Don’t make the mistake I did and have to waste your time returning the Bose QC Ultras.

Surprisingly Good All Around!
These headphones will take a small bit of time to update especially on iPhone. Firmware and software. Take your time and it will be fine if you follow the directions. Learn how to use the swiping gestures and be patient with it. It all works well with a quirk or two here and there. Not a deal-breaker.The sound is quite real and smooth, bass is just fine for you bass-heads. Sony definitely has its own sound signature and I like it. The ability to customize the sound etc., through the app is the best I’ve seen, and it works.The headphones themselves are VERY lightweight, almost to a “cheap-o” feeling but for me, this makes them more comfortable when compared to others like B and W PX7’s which are OK in their own right for BT headphones.The iPhone 15 Pro I have has NO problems with connectivity, so stop complaining in the reviews, your doing something wrong. Longevity of the headphone itself is TBD but you should careful not to throw them under a bus if you know what I mean. I consider myself an audiophile (wanna-be) and think the sound is quite acceptable and pleasing for bluetooth. Happy listening.

Nice sound but a loose fit
I bought these and the Bose quiet comfort ultra to compare. They both have excellent sound and noise canceling capability. I kept the Bose over these for several reasons. The primary reason was that the Sony were just too loose for my head. They would slide off if I tilted my head forward or back slightly. I have an average size head for a woman at 22 1/4 inch. I also really preferred the controls on the Bose. They were easier to switch modes, adjust the volume, etc. Bose also has an active mode where you can hear your surroundings while listening to your music, movie, etc. The Bose also felt like they were higher quality all around, including the case. They just felt more durable, and are slightly smaller than the Sony. I think the Sony are excellent headphones if they fit your head, and are $30 less than the Bose. I didn’t try them for I long due to the fit, so I can’t rate the battery life.

survived two seizures
these things are durable, the music quality is fantastic and gets better with eq settings, the noise cancellation is very autism friendly for sensory avoidant people such as myself especially in noisy grocery stores and with quiet gatherings with noisy family members (seriously, the ability to adjust how much noise cancelling there is is THE BEST), AND they’re durable enough that they survived me collapsing and having two seizures with them on my head.I wear them to sleep sometimes and listen to too many hours of New Bliss and Lofi Girl playlists, and they’re still good as new. They don’t get stinky. They survive me wearing them in 90° weather.I love these things, and I hope they continue to be great for several years. I forgot to get a safety plan on these bad boys, but I would willingly spend the money to get them again.Also, a full charge lasts three days and they charge super quickly. The bluetooth in the app is a little wonky if you connect to more than one device, but it’s an easy fix with some patience— I share them with my partner and it’s nice to be able to trade them back and forth. I get them out in public and during zoom meetings and when I can’t sleep, he gets them at 4am when he wants to vibe to good tunes and when he’s on a cleaning frenzy. it works out really well.

These had so much potential…
There’s A LOT to love about the Sony WH-1000XM5. I really wanted to write a rave review on them. Unfortunately I’ve also had a series of horrible problems that make them impossible to recommend.I’ll start with the good. 1) These have the best ANC (active noise cancellation) on the consumer market right now. I also have Airpods Max and have compared with a freind’s top of the line Bose QC Ultra. These put both to shame when it comes to ANC. It’s incredible. Like so good it’s almost dangerous…. I kinda worry I wouldn’t hear a fire alarm going off while listening to music with these lol. I should note though, that to get this ANC performance you have to make sure there’s nothing between the earpads and your head, like a hat or bunched up hair. My metal framed glasses don’t make a difference, but my chunkier plastic frames let a bit more noise through 2) The battery life is amazing. I’ve been getting 24-28 hours of use with ANC on for each charge. They also charge fast – for me it’s typically 45 minutes to go from zero to fully charged. For fast charging you do need a quality USB-C cable (I use Anker cables – they’re excellent and very affordable). When I used a cheap crappy cable it took over 2 hours. 3) They’re incredibly light-weight and very comfortable. I almost forget I’m wearing them. The ergonomics make them feel like they’re custom made for my head and the ear pads and head band are the softest I’ve ever felt on headphones. The build is pretty plasticky, but they still feel well made / durable… and I think it’s worth it for the weight reduction it allows. 4) Like any Bluetooth noise canceling headphones you’re not getting hi-fi audio quality, but its better than most other bluetooth headphones. It’s not as good as Airpods Max, but better than Bose and any of the cheaper bluetooth headphones I’ve tried. The most notable weakness is some muddiness in the lower frequencies, in my experience. 5) The case it comes with is awesome. It’s a bit bulky, but it keeps the headphones very well protected and has a small compartment that you can keep a charging cable or 3.5mm audio cable in (which you can use for a wired connection if the battery dies, if the device you’re using has a headphone jack). It’s also very nice aesthetically. Overall the case puts Apple’s Airpods Max case to absolute shame – that one barely covers half of the headphones, so it’s worthless for protection. I’d honestly throw it away, but Apple is a dick and decided to make it so the headphones are always on and using battery unless you put them in their crappy case. 6) If you download the mobile app, there are tons of options to customize your experience. You can change the EQ, turn speak-to-chat on/off (disables ANC when it detects you’re speaking to someone), choose your priority between sound quality vs. stable bluetooth connection, allow to connect to 2 devices simultaneously, integrate Siri or Amazon Alexa, customize controls, and a bunch of other things.Okay, now the problems. 1) A week after I bought them the speaker in the right ear started randomly making a loud buzzing/popping noise periodically. It’s not all the time, but pretty frequent and very annoying. It happens for about 30 seconds a few times every hour of use. Sony claims it happens in places where ultrasonic waves are used to eliminate rodents and suggests you turn off ANC to prevent it… which is aggravating. ANC is the only thing that makes these worth such a high price tag and Sony is the only brand with that problem. Also, I’m 90% sure their explanation doesn’t even apply to my environment. 2) Just two weeks after I bought them the touch controls started FREAKING OUT, detecting gestures when I wasn’t even touching them. It rapidly flips between playing and pausing my music, skip songs, flip between enabling/disabling voice-to-chat, etc. all on its own, making them entirely unusable when that happens. It happens every hour or two, and once it starts it continues until I turn them off and back on. When I contacted Sony about this, they advised me to just disable gesture controls in the app. That prevents it from pausing or skipping my music, but it does not turn off the pinging sound the headphones make when a a tap/gesture id detected, so you still hear rapid random pinging whenever it decides to bug out. SUPER annoying. 3) 4 weeks after I bought them they just turned off on their own suddenly 10 minutes after I finished charging them to 100% and would not turn back on. I tried a factory reset and they still wouldn’t turn on. after repeatedly trying to turn them on, they finally did… for a second, but shut down right after connecting them to my device. I figured they were completely busted, but when I tried again a few hours later they started working again and were fine for a few day… then it happened again. No idea what the deal is, but it’s happened 4 times now, so I need to send to Sony to see if they’ll fix them. Based on past experience trying to use Sony’s warranty for repairs on other products though, they’re probably going to send them right back and claim nothing is wrong because it didn’t happen during their 30-second inspection.To summarize, these are SO CLOSE to being the best wireless ANC headphones to buy right now IMO. I really love them when they work… whenever I have to use my much more expensive Airpods Max, they make me wish I were using the XM5s minus all the issues. When they work, I prefer almost everything about the XM5 over the airpods. Unfortunately they’re ruined by a few really bad problems. I would recommend getting the WH-1000XM4 instead. They have the same noise cancelling performance and most of the other great qualities and haven’t been plagued with bugs. They’re slightly less comfortable, but the tighter fit makes them more secure, which can be a benefit for people who want to wear them while working out.

Great headphones with minor flaws
The good:They are comfortable. I have a larger head.Sound quality is decent. EQ is necessary though. Out of box sound is too bassy.The ANC is great.The bad:Doesn’t fold.Gets hot after a while (but that is the case with most headphones when you sweat)If you don’t mind a bit less sound quality but a more affordable option that’s lighter, I would recommend the WHc720n.

Great sound
I moved from xm4 earbuds to these at a Great refurb discount price. I was worried about bass as most mentioned xm4 had more bass than xm5 I only had the earbuds and in my experience the sound still has good bass and is a bit clearer in other areas now. It’s super plush and soft. Looks like I received a discount on an open box return bc it has a small brown makeup stain on the ear cuff. So keep in mind the light colors could stain from makeup and hair product. There are protectors out there you can add on but no one wants their headset to turn yellow from ur foundation so if that’s you get black haha. Otherwise I think the light colors are actually much nicer as long as you don’t expose them to staining products.I have small ears and a big head the headset sits Nicely and does not feel tight at all. This model has a larger size case about the height of a small purse backpack. As the headset does not fold compact. Which I actually like because I feel like folding always added a certain level of fragility and movement that could be a bit pinchy so I’m happy it’s gone but may not be everyone’s proffered change.

Great audio quality, couldn’t get comfortable
I run my own online tutoring business, and recently decided to upgrade some of my tech to give my clients a more polished and professional experience. I specifically wanted to start using a high-quality microphone so that my voice would come through clearly and it wouldn’t sound like I was talking into a cheap headset (which is exactly what I’d been doing previously). Based on my cursory research of reading reviews for various high-end headphones, it seemed like the Sony WH-1000XM5’s were likely one of the best options I could possibly buy, so I ordered a pair and tried them out in my tutoring sessions for a few days.Audio: Probably the best audio quality of any headset I’ve ever used. Crystal clear sound and great noise-cancelling. My best experience of the headphones was walking around the house and listening to music, as I got to hear a greater depth and richness in some of my favourite songs than I’d ever heard before.Microphone: I recorded some short audio samples with this headset and a few other mics to compare quality, since getting a better mic for my online tutoring was one of the main reasons I bought this. It was definitely better than the cheap wireless earbuds I’ve been using for the past few years, but definitely not as good as the standalone JLAB microphone I bought for recording videos.Comfort: This was the main dealbreaker for me. No matter how I adjusted the extension or placement of these headphones on top of my head, I invariably started to feel discomfort and eventually pain in the spot where the central band made contact with my scalp. I could partially mitigate this by moving it to a different spot every ten minutes or so, but decided that this wouldn’t be sustainable for multiple hours a day most days per week, so I returned the headphones.

Comfortable and great-sounding
I recently bought this XM5 as a perceived upgrade from my old XM3 bluetooth cans. I had held off this purchase, thinking that by now Sony would’ve released the XM6 by now. But no, Sony decided to continue making and selling the XM5. Tired of any further waiting for something that might not happen anytime soon, I finally caved and bought the XM5 when Amazon put the price back under $300 for the October 2024 Amazon Days.The first thing I noted was how CHEAP the packaging and the accompanying accessories were for this XM5. No stout carrying/storage case this time around. The headphone’s boxed packaging might appear to be about Sony trying to be environmentally conscious and being “green”, but I suspect that Sony was more about SAVING some green by cheapening up their packaging costs. Even at a discount price, the rudimentary unboxing process made me feel a bit cheated.However after charging up the XM5, I have to admit that in the end it’s really only about the user experience with the headphones. And I must confess that it’s pretty great, a definite step forward from the XM3 from two generations before. The XM5 is definitely more comfortable for me than the XM3, which itself wasn’t all that bad to begin with. I still loathe the swipe controls on the right earpad, but at least I god used to them during my years of using the XM3.I have six plus decade old ears, so a LOT of the sonic range is now denied to my brain as my ears certainly don’t perform like they used to. But I still can hear enough to say that acoustically the XM5 is a noticeable step forward from the old XM3. While initially the XM5 sound seemed a little colder and a bit on the sharp side, the soundstage imaging is better and more appealing to me, and detail recreation seems marginally improved over the older headphones. So far well-recorded live performances sound a bit more spatially realistic than what was possible with the XM3, and as the burn-in hours add up (roughly about 120 hours of burn-in so far), I suspect that these nuances with further blend, warm up and smooth out.I don’t generally use over-ear wireless headphones for phone calls, so I can’t really comment about this feature set of the XM5 when I used it with my cellphone. It does seem to work okay, and persons on the other end seem to regularly claim that they can hear me well enough.All in all I’m pleased with the XM5 so far. It sounds nicer than the retiring XM3 I had been using, and it fits my large noggin decently well. I do think that the headband is, if anything, a bit on the loose side. But that does seem to aid in making the XM5 wear as comfortably as it does for me. The XM3 was a difficult set to wear to sleep; any slight turn of my head at night often resulted in neck pain the next morning. I’ve not had this problem at all with the XM5. So far it’s been a 5-star experience, and I’m looking forward to continuing to use these for the next few years.

Amazing headphones ⭐️
The Sony WH-1000XM5 are, hands down, one of the best noise-canceling headphones I’ve ever used. The sound quality is fantastic, with a balanced, clear sound profile that works well across all genres. The noise cancellation is top-tier, effortlessly blocking out background noise whether you’re traveling or just in a noisy environment. Comfort is excellent, with plush ear cups and a lightweight design, making them great for long listening sessions. Battery life is superb, offering up to 30 hours of use, and the quick charge feature is a nice bonus. The design is sleek and minimalist, though they do feel a bit delicate. Overall, the WH-1000XM5 are an outstanding choice for anyone looking for premium audio quality and industry-leading noise cancellation.

Are you Older? READ THIS.
I am almost 65 years old SO, I DO NOT have the ears of a 18 year old. That said, I consider these to be good for these reasons:A: Exceptional battery life.B: Call quality that was considered good UNTIL I did a direct comparison to my Blueparrott B450-XT’s – NO WHERE NEAR the quality of the Blue 450’s, BUT the Blues are made specifically for calls in noisey environments. . Blues are in my opionion the defacto standard by which all other ANC phone calls should be judged. My “demo” for people is to run my upright vacuum cleaner whilst on a call. People on the other end cannot hear it AT ALL – REALLY!, I hear them, and they hear me perfectly! TRULY amazing! I did the same test with these and alas they failed miserably in comparison. I expected that. I was told they sound like I am in a room away from the microphone, a bit fishtank like, and muddy. SO, they’ll do in a call but not as a primary phone call device in noise. I heard a sample of the BOSE 700’s and they were terrible, which is what prompted me to get the Sony’s.C: One unconventional thing they do great at: A Sleep Aid. Yup, they drown out all the extraneous noises like people talking, Air conditioners, fans, Water coolers, hums, etc. ALL gone with nothing playing through them!I bought them primarily for playing on my PS5, and watching TV late at night. They do both quite well.D: Amazingly, my ears do not sweat much in these even after prolonged use. I’ve ordered those Dekoni Suede Earpads for them as well just for added comfort.(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BS4T3X62?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)(5/16/23 – Returned The earpads: they claim they are suede when in fact they are 2/3 suede. The inner part inside the cup is something else, not leather so NOT durable. Considering this, $49 seems FAR too expensive.)E: They are long-term comfortable unless you have ears like a B-52 in which case you will probably be stuffing bits.As for music, I find them to be more flat without pronounced highs or bass – which I prefer. The EQ on the app is a nice feature. The ANC works very well listening to music and will be adequate to the task in both quiet and noisey settings. Again, I remind you, I’m not 18. ;-)Pricewise, they ARE a bit expensive but the build quality seems better than most.If you have the time, I would HIGHLY recommend you test several brands and models at a store simply because sound quality is subjective and EVERYONE has their preference.UPDATE: 5/23/23 – Returning (REPLACING) Headphones – Why? They started acting “Funky”. By that, I mean that if you turn them off, they will not turn on unless you do not hit any buttons for about 15 sec. NOT normal. ALSO, they started to exhibit Connection issues that were NOT there initially. I STILL, at this point consider them excelllent. Now, if the NEW pair goes weird, THEN I would have to re-evaluate.UPDATE 6-3-23: New pair are working as they should no connection issues or on/off bttun problems.UPDATE 2-16-24: Still working perfectly and I use them nearly every night to sleep.

Like wearing technology
I bought the Bowers and Wilkins Px7 S2 a couple of years ago, refurbished like new. Its sound is excellent, and its soundstage is good as they claim. However, its microphone was not as good as I had hoped.Fast-forward to 2024, the Sony WH1000MX7 was on sale for nearly 50% off the original MSRP. Of all of the Bluetooth headphones with ANC, it was consistently rated the best or runner-up. Notably, its microphone was well-regarded.I bought one, refurbished like new.I will compare these two as they were contemporaries and direct competitors.My general use cases consist of listening to music while I work, participating in a virtual meeting, and talking on the phone while I do chores around the home.Music on the Bowers and Wilkins is where the headphones shine. The Px7 S2 was reported to have a very neutral sound out of the box. I found that to be very true. Its soundstage magic and clarity of drivers gave each part of the music very good separation.I listened to the Jurassic Park theme song from years ago — don’t judge. It is orchestral with many instruments contributing to the detailed delight of sound. I use this track to sound-check every new pair of headphones I get, so this would have been the sixth or seventh pair of headphones I used to listen to that theme song. For the first time, I heard two or three instruments whereas before I thought there was only one.How did the Sony’s do? They were pristine headphones, but they couldn’t achieve that level of detail and separation.Out of the box, the Sony headphones are said to be a bit bass-heavy. However, the customization feature of the app allowed me to tune the bass to my preferences.Sony partially compensates with its app and five-channel equalizer, but it could not better B&W’s music-playing prowess.For the second challenge, the Px7 S2’s were wasted on video conferencing calls. Yes, my managers never sounded so life-like except when they were in person. My tuned Sony cans were more than capable of reproducing their sound. Sony wins this round, because my colleagues described me as sounding more loud with my Sony’s.And in the final challenge, I switched between the two headphones while taking telephone calls. For the most part, the Px7 S2’s was overqualified in sound production. Background sounds on my end were also filtered out by the mic, except on two occasions when I got ice from my ice dispenser and ripped open a package at chest height. Meanwhile, the Sony sounded just fine, but the ice dispenser was not so annoying at the other end.Other notes:The Px7 S2 has a physical button to toggle on-off. It’s a quick flip of the switch, and within seconds it is connected and ready to go.The Sony’s power button is a press-and-hold button. It’s a little more annoying, because if you hold it too long, it does something else. It takes just as long to get connected.Gone are the days I tell my conversation partner to wait while I get bluetooth connected and have to put on elevator music for them.Of the two designs, I prefer Bowers and Wilkins’s.The Sony headphones rely mostly on touch controls. Although all manner of functions can be done via touch, I can’t remember which gesture does what. The Px7 S2 uses physical buttons for volume control, play/pause, and connect and disconnect. Once more, I prefer the physical controls.Finally, the B&W headphones are noticeably heavier than the Sony ones. If you’re sitting and staying still, the extra weight doesn’t matter. On the other hand, if you’re up and about and turning your head often, the Sony’s feel much more planted on the head. The Sony’s are generally regarded as having better ANC. In my experience around the house, they’re very close. It still surprises me which sounds get through ANC and which don’t. With enough happening around you, the Sony’s seem to block more sound.You can’t go wrong with either pair of headphones. It’s very much up to your preferences. If you like strawberry — I don’t know — go with one of them. If you prefer chocolate, then go with the other one, I’d say.Ok fine. If you want a more feature-filled app or better EQ or better mic or lighter weight => Sony.Sound or materials and style => B&W.How about that?

Got these for Grad school. Good but not perfect
What I Like:-Very good sound quality (providing you download the app and adjust the EQ to your taste)-Works well in zoom meetings, Mic quality seems to be fine-Pretty easy to use, I don’t have the motion swipes down yet, but you can also use buttons or the app.-Choice of Google or Alexa for virtual assistant is nice- built better than the 720N-Dual wireless capability is very good. I switch between my MacBook Air and Google Pixel phone with no issues quickly-Noise cancelling is pretty good- Comfortable to wear with my glasses on( not all over ear headphones are)What I don’t like:-The build quality could be better for the price. Deduction of 1 star for this. These are built much better than the 720N but also cost 3 times as much. I have Logitech PC headsets that is half this price and it’s built much better. Sony chose to use a thin cheap plastic. It’s light which is nice but I do feel I have to be careful with these and not my PC headset for example.- No IPX waterproof rating. Again for the price point and build quality it should be.-The “hard” carry case is thin cardboard inside a thin cotton shell. Provides the bare minimum of protection for a hard case and once again seems like they cheaped out on materials-Overall I decided to keep the product. It performs well, is comfortable, works between Apple and Android seamlessly, and does a pretty good job at noise cancelling. My only gripe is for the Price point it should be built better and used better external hardware material.

Excellent headphones, perfect for the casual traveler and desktop worker
The sound of the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones is great. I am using the noise cancellation, even when I’m not listening to music. I travel a lot, and they work wonders on airplanes for blocking out engine noise.They’re reliable and durable, and have been working great for more than a year. The long battery life is another great feature. You don’t have to worry about plugging them in after only a few hours of use.There are a couple things I’d like to see improved. For starters, the software needs some work, somehow. They just have this really odd issue where they keep turning on the “speak to chat” feature when I’m not even aware of it. Talking to my daughter having one ear piece pushed aside, and everything is stopped. There’s no rhyme or reason, either.The other issue I have is that the headphones disconnects from my iPad too often or won’t even connect. I think it might be a Bluetooth issue where the closest device grabs the signal, but if I could just reconnect with the last connected device, that’d be a real help. For now, I am just manually connecting to the headphones – I wish it to be different, but no big deal.All in all, they are great headphones – no comparison to the BOSE I had before, which disintegrated after almost a year.

UNBELIEVABLE carbon fiber sound quality, improved ANC with 2 processors and 8 improved mics
No se pudo cargar el archivo multimedia.
I own Sony’s WH-1000 XM4s and the Bose 700s, two of the leading models in the industry. I had AirPods Max for a minute, but I rage-sold them. To me, the Sony and Bose are both awesome headsets. So I was psyched to hear Sony was releasing XM5s. Summer’s here, and these can get a little hot on hot days outdoors. It’s like wearing earmuffs on the beach. But, if you can get past a little sweaty ears, or if you use them indoors or on airplanes, you should be a little excited.The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones feature, what Sony advertises, “industry-leading noise cancellation.” And they ain’t lyin. With Bluetooth 5.2 and Sony’s QN1 and V1 chips, the XM5s have DUAL processors – compared to the lonely single processor of the XM4. These two processors control 8 microphones for crazy accurate noise cancellation. Think – a little computer actually sampling noise from fans, airplane engines, air conditioners, motors, and consistent noise like that – and creates an identical but perfect opposite wave, so they kinda cancel each other out. And this time, the dual processors are capable of filtering higher frequency sounds, including some voices. It’s pretty cool tech. The first time you hear this, it’s like magic! In my video review, you can see my personal reaction.With the XM5s, noise canceling is automatically optimized based on your wearing conditions and environment. You don’t have to do anything. It knows if you’re sitting, walking, in an airplane, et cetera.No, noise reduction probably won’t completely cancel a very loud angry spouse, or a crying baby. But the over the ear closed design may help dull annoying sounds.A very small cadre of people claim they become nauseous using noise cancelling headphones, and especially the old model XM4s. I’ve never experienced this personally, but be aware it could happen. You can disable it if you need to. Some people thought the WH-1000XM4s were too snug. I thought they felt great, but they’ve improved the fit with a new lightweight design with soft-fit leather. This material fits snugly but with less pressure on your ears while still keeping out the external sounds you don’t want to hear.There were a few other design changes – the XM5s aren’t foldable like the XM4s, and there’s a redesigned case that’s collapsible to save room in your bag when you’re wearing your headphones.With up to 30 hours of battery life, you’ll have enough power to travel halfway to the moon in one of Elon Musk’s rockets. But, in case you forgot to charge and you’re in a hurry, you can get 3 hours’ worth of charge after just 3 minutes with an optional AC adapter.And unfortunately, the in-flight plug adapter is not included in the supplied accessories this time. But who uses that anyway? That’s so old school! Fortunately, there still is an aux-in for you old-school holdouts.The touch controls survived, where you can pause/play/skip tracks, control volume, activate your voice assistant, and answer phone calls. And the speak to chat lives also, where as soon as you start a conversation, Speak-to-Chat automatically stops your music and lets in ambient sound. And wear detection knows when you take them off.But – how do they sound?Sony has popped new, more rigid, 30mm carbon fiber drivers in the XM5s. They have more of an audiophile sound profile with slightly more balanced sound, better clarity, and more accurate bass. That’s important if you listen to real music, you know, with actual instruments, like rock, jazz, r and b, country, classical, and music like that. The XM4s have 40mm drivers, which will probably be better for hip-hop. The XM5s will reproduce hip-hop very accurately, meaning the way the studio producer intended you to hear it, but they probably won’t have the head-vibrating tinnitus-inducing bass many people want. TBH that’s hard to find in any headphone due to physics.The XM5s support LDAC and spatial 3D audio, whatever that is, and they have also upgraded their Sony Music Studios Edge-AI music algorithm, which somehow magically guesses what musical dynamics were lost during compression and tries to replace that, so everything sounds crisp and clean without losing the bass that’s necessary in most of today’s popular music.I have heard some folks claimed the MX4s sounded “muddy” with some music. I didn’t notice that, but I’m a producer and I’m familiar with equalization. There are about 20 presets including several you can create yourself.And even without the Qualcomm APTX Low Latency chip, both my XM4s and XM5s allowed me to watch a complete movie on Netflix on my 2022 Samsung Frame television, wirelessly, from 10-plus feet away, with ZERO loss in mouth synchronization. Plus, like my XM4s, the XM5s still have dual Bluetooth pairing so you can pair them with two devices at the same time and switch back and forth between them. It’s a pretty cool feature if you use them for your phone, but also want to use them to watch YouTube videos at work on your computer. But, you probably shouldn’t tell your boss about that.And the XM5s work with Google Assist, Alexa, and Siri. You can even set up Spotify playback with a few taps. Try that on your Air Pods Max.The big win seems to be a vast improvement in the sound of your voice during phone calls quality. They’re actually impressive when it comes to calling in louder rooms. I’ve made test calls on busy streets and on windy sidewalks, and my call-ee said she couldn’t tell I was actually outdoors. Apparently, the four beam-forming microphones and the dual-processor software can recognize your voice and somehow block a lot of background noise. I mean, you can still probably hear tire screeches, gunshots, and car alarms, things you’ll typically hear in the city. But a lot of the noise is just gone. Like magic!Oh – and there’s Speak to Chat. You start speaking, and the XM5s automatically adjust noise cancellation to pick up the voices of other people. No buttons, no fumbling with your phone. That’s a pretty cool feature.So are they worth the upgrade? If you have XM4s and you think your call quality is shaky, then grab some XM5s and sell your sweaty old XM4s on Craigslist. If you’re moving from Bose’s Noise Canceling 700 or QuietComfort 45s, the new dual processors and 8 microphone array will provide some noticeable improvements, plus the dual Bluetooth sync, so they’re probably worth looking into. If you’re done with your Air Pods Max and prefer better compatibility with non-Apple stuff including android phones, PCs, and Sony or Samsung Smart TVs, it’s a no-brainer.

Headphones are Mediocre
*Disclaimer: I bought mine used “like new” or “very good”I bought these because they’re rated one of the best headphones on the market, I HIGHLY disagree. Are they bad headphones? No. Are they worth the money? No, not even on sale lol. I returned mine and bought the Sony WH-1000XM4, and here’s why:**Noise Cancellation (6/10): This feature was ok at best. The Apple AirPods Max are still top of the line for noise cancellation – I hear nothing when I wear them. With the Sony WH-1000XM5, I can still hear a lot of sounds around me. I’d say it cuts out maybe 60-70% of noise. My biggest issue here was that the noise cancellation would turn off randomly – so I would have to manually turn on/off the noise cancellation and ambient noise, which was just irritating.**Sound Quality (7/10): Sound quality was fine, it was nothing exceptional. The first day I received them, something really weird happened and the sound went completely muffled – like I was underwater. I looked up the issue and there have been similar issues for other customers who bought these headphones. The sounds went back to normal the next day, but I was already skeptical about their performance.**Comfort (9/10): I think they were really comfortable. I wear plastic framed glasses, so headphones that work with them can be a mission. The Apple AirPods Max do not work with my glasses at all, they pinch my frames and move them around – I need to wear contacts with them. With the Sony WH-1000XM5, this really isn’t an issue. I needed to adjust my glasses every once in a while, but maybe once in like 3 hours. I think they’re one of the best fitting headphones for people with glasses. Also, when I went to adjust the headband portion to make them shorter/tighter, they would slip – they just would not stay adjusted to where I needed them (this could be because I bought them slightly used, so it could have just been from previous wear – but still an issue if they become loose over time).**Product Quality (6/10): The headphones themselves are cheap plastic and just feel flimsy. For almost $400, you would expect them to feel a little better or more sturdy. I was constantly worried I was going to break them. The case is nice and hard, and I personally think they store nicely and are easy to travel around with. I bought the beige ones (again, I bought them slightly used), but the case was dirty and it stains easily since it’s made of cloth material. The foam on the ear part is very soft, so it’s kind of just your preference there. I think they felt a little cheap, but I also think that they added to the comfort.**Battery Life (9/10): The battery life is fine, they last pretty long. I’m studying for the Bar right now, so I used them for about 10 hours a day. They would last like a little over 10 hours for me before needing to be charged, and charging only took max 3 hours.**Connectivity (5/10): I had huge problems with connecting them to my Mac, I have no clue why. But, just so everyone knows, you need to download the app (Sony Connect) to connect it to your phone and your other devices. They just weren’t discoverable on my Mac. I restarted my laptop and the the headphones, downloaded the app, connected them to my iPhone, updated my Mac, etc. It took me like 2 hours to get them connected to my laptop. I’m not sure if I am just technologically challenged or if they just aren’t compatible with Apple products, but this process alone made me feel rage that I never thought I would feel.**Aesthetic (7/10): The headphones looked ok on. The ear part was kinda too clunky for my liking. They stick out a little more than other headphones, so I kind of felt like a bear when I wore them.**Overall (7.5/10): I think the headphones are meh. I just wasn’t impressed for headphones that are rated sooooo highly in every article online. I did a lot of research and was torn between Sony WH-1000XM5, Sony WH-1000XM4, and the Bose QuietComfort 45. I decided against the Bose only because you cannot turn on/off the noise cancellation with buttons. So between the XM4 and XM5, I picked the XM5 because they were rated so well in online articles, I liked the look of them more (from pictures), and I figured I would just get the most up-to-date model. I returned them mainly because of the connectivity problems, noise cancellation, and sound quality. I just don’t think they’re worth the money, especially retail price. I just got the Sony WH-1000XM4 and they are SO MUCH BETTER. The sound/product quality, noise cancellation, connectivity, etc.Final Thoughts: If you want top of the line headphones and have the money to spend, get the Apple Airpods Max. If you want great headphones for a better price, Sony WH-1000XM4. The Bose are apparently SUPER comparable to the Sony WH-1000XM4 and are cheaper in price too. So, if having buttons to turn on/off noise cancellation is irrelevant to you, then get the Bose QuietComfort 45.The end.

I wanted to love these…
While the sound quality and battery life are solid, several persistent issues with connectivity, noise cancellation, and controls make these headphones frustrating to use daily. I do not recommend purchasing these headphones, as there are many similarly priced alternatives that offer nearly the same benefits as these headphones without the drawbacks.I really wanted to love these headphones. At first I liked them and figured I’d warm up to them even more, but there have been too many issues. Due to the below, I do not think I will purchase more headphones from Sony, and I’m certain my next purchase for headphones will be from Bose, as I’ve always had positive experiences with their products.Note that I have already checked, and both the headphones firmware as well as the official ‘Headphones’ app are fully up-to-date (‘Headphones’ app version 10.4.2 at the time of writing). Also, the issues I lay out below have persisted for many weeks throughout daily use, persisting beyond many restarts of the headphones as well as restarts of every single device I’ve ever connected them to.Pros:Great sound. I’m no audiophile, but I think the sound is really good and at least on par with what I experienced with my Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones.ANC is great. I don’t know if I think it’s better or worse than my other headphones, but I think it’s great. However, there is an ANC-related problem that I mention below.The ‘Speak-to-Chat’ and ‘Adaptive Sound Control’ are neat features. In most situations I always keep them off because I don’t need them, but occasionally I do need them and I think they’re nice to have. However, there is an issue with ‘Speak to Chat’ that I bring up below.Battery life seems great. I haven’t done testing specifically, but they last many hours, most likely meeting or exceeding the description of 24+ hours of use between charges.Cons:When connected to two devices simultaneously, these headphones consistently send play/pause commands incorrectly. Here’s a good example, though this has happened in many other contexts. Frequently I have the headphones connected to my cell phone and one other device, usually my laptop. If I happen to use standard speech-to-text on my cell phone, the headphones will send a play/pause command to my laptop. This means on my phone I will begin to use speech-to-text, and then whatever audio or video was playing last on my laptop will start playing. This has happened many, many times over weeks.The ANC automatically reduces frequently when I speak out loud. Probably anyone familiar with this product will immediately want to say that I need to disable the headphones’ ‘Speak-to-Chat’ feature, since that’s what that feature is for, and of course that feature is also toggleable. However, when this happens I check to be certain that ‘Speak-to-Chat’ is off, and I see that it was already off as I had set it previously, and yet still if I speak out loud, I can hear a very clear, unambiguous change to ANC, as more ambient sound becomes audible to me. Adjusting configurations relevant to this in the official app does not help.As far as I’ve been able to tell, if you want to force the headphones into pairing mode, you must fully power them off and then turn them back on, pressing and holding the power button while turning them back on until they enter pairing mode and give an audible alert. If I attempt to press and hold the power button when the headphones are already on in order to enter pairing mode, the headphones simply power off. I do not think I should have to turn them all the way off just to put them into pairing mode like this. I have been unable to put them into pairing mode unless I turn them all the way off and back on, which should be unnecessary.Cons (personal preference):I do not like the touch controls as opposed to using physical control buttons. I already knew that these headphones use touch controls when I ordered them, and I simply hoped that they would work well for me even though I prefer buttons. Unfortunately usually a couple of times a day I end up accidentally bumping them and skipping forward or backward on whatever I’m listening to; this of course never happens when I use headphones with physical buttons for controls.I do not think these are comfortable; in my opinion they are just tolerable. I wear my headphones for extended periods of time, and while I do not think they’ve ever caused pain, I do find them to be uncomfortable on my ears eventually. Of course, this is subjective as someone with ears shaped differently or a slightly differently shaped head may find these to be perfectly comfortable.I would really like it if these could be folded up or collapsed to make them easier for storage, but this is a minor point.I want to like these. I really do. But almost every single day I experience multiple frustrations with them that I never had with headphones from other manufacturers. I’ve reached the point that I would rather use older, lower quality headphones than these. I would rather use other headphones, even if I will have a poorer audio experience and lose out on some features, as long as it means I no longer have to deal with the frustrations I mentioned above.

Impressive sound quality and noise canceling
I basically bought these because I was unimpressed with the noise canceling on my significantly cheaper soundcore earbuds and I thought I’d try the best. I have had many, many ear buds over the years and only a few over the ear headphones, and those were Grado open head sets.The Isolation these offer is impressive by itself, however if you wear glasses (or sungasses), it’s totally ruined. But without glasses and with the noise cancellation, it was really impressive how good nice an peaceful my flight home was.l could I still hear the baby a couple rows back? yes I could but not if I has some loud music playing and it was fairly unintrusive even without the music and listening to an audiobook. If you want a snack or a drink you better be paying attention, cause you’re not going to hear the flight attendant. The engine drone was basically gone, and if I really wanted some isolation I could comfortably wear my noise canceling earbuds under the noise cancelling headphones, that’s when the world really goes away (I know, overkill, but my OCD made me try, worth it, but the sound was probably better from the sony’s than my liberty 4’s but silence is always nice too, especially when you know you’re in a loud environment)It’s a tough call when you can get such great results from headphones a third of the price, but It was nice to know what the top of the line can do, and as impressive as it is, for me I’d rather wear a single bud most days to talk on the phone or listen to an audiobook in bed, large headphones just aren’t the most practical option for that.However I will keep them for flights and for listening to music when I want the quality to be amazing. Flying has gotten so bad, that having your own space even if that space is just peace and quiet and being able to ignore everything else going on around you, it’s well woth the price of admission.
