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

The best headphones Ive ever tried

I want to start off by saying the sound quality is good and the noise cancelling is okay,i honestly do not get all the rave and 5 stars reviews,maybe it’s just me? These feel cheap to me,they are lighweight (which is a plus) but the material makes it feel like $30 walmart headphones.Since we’re on the topic of prices,these are heavily overpriced,i mean are you guys just all filthy rich to spend $400 on these headphones(seeing as they feel cheap) and be okay with it?I wouldn’t pay more than $200 for these headphones (which is what they should be priced at) so yeah i did end up returning them,the main issues being the price and the fact that they feel cheap.Also i found it to be a pain having to connect these to my phone everytime,whenever they were off my head for 5 minutes they’d go into sleep mode which was a pain in the as$ because i’d have to open the app,press the power button,go on my settings and try and reconnect them,i wish they would connect more faster like airpods that connect instantly,so yes these get a 3/5 stars for me

I actually liked the headphones! Noise cancellation isnt as great as the AirPods Max and neither transparency, but the sound quality was a little better in my opinion. But the overall feel just felt like plastic??? I dont know how to exactly describe it but they were extremely light, which is a great thing for others but not for me, I want to the headphones to feel as if theyre durable and high quality, these felt like they were about to break at some point. I wasnt a big fan of the texture and feel of the headphones so I decided to return them. Heres a massive problem though... I decided to return them but BEWARE! Amazon customer service is absolutely terrible in helping you process the return. They keep telling me that the package is on its way when I already checked with UPS and theyre actually already delivered. Amazon customer service doesnt want to help me and they keep telling me that it takes two weeks for the package to be delivered. They also told me that someone from Returns was going to reach out to me by my email within 24-48 hours and its been over 48 hours since anyone has contacted me. Its stressing me out. Also I had the chance to choose the option to pay the headphones in a monthly payment plan so Im actually even more stressed and angry that they arent taking the return process quickly and seriously, because what if I end paying the next months payment and they still havent processed the return?! What then?! Im not paying for another monthly installment of headphones that I clearly returned and no longer own!! This is just a fair heads up that there are ups and downs when ordering anything highly priced with Amazon and when choosing to do monthly installments on highly priced items. -Also be careful if you plan to order any other expensive headphones like Sony or Bose, the whole amazon returns and customer service are just sadly terrible when it comes to returning any electronic devices overall. I would rather buy new headphones off of best buy or target in person if you want to try them out and not hassle with a whole return process like amazon- Headphones: 3/5 Amazon customer service: sadly a 0/5

I bought these when they were discounted by $50 and have been using them for about 3 months now for both personal and work from home use. Sound quality, noise cancellation, microphone, and battery are great; they are pretty light and the clamping force is just right. The only thing that could be better is the headband part which can become uncomfortable after some time. But this seems to vary as my wife does not experience this issue. At this price though, you can’t really ask for more: if you want the same quality and more comfort, you would need to go with the higher end ones which are $200 more

These really are amazing headphones! They are soft and comfortable, great sound quality, and the noise cancellation is unmatched. I dont use them to take calls but I am okay with that personally.

I already own the Bose QC35 so this was a whim purchase. I was attracted to the favorable YouTube reviews. I do not think the Noise Cancelling on the XM5 is any better than the Bose QC35’S but definitely not worse.

Excellent! I was amazed at how many different sounds I was able to hear. Songs I has been listening for decades that felt I was finally hearing fully with these headphones. Tones, sounds, that were part of the song all along but that I was discovering for the first time with these headphones.

Let me just start off by saying these are SO GOOD! The quality, the look, the sound ARE SO GOOD! They are so sleek!! if someone were to blindfold me and put these on my head, I would really think they were a Apple product, from the sound quality and features. All of my personal devices are Apple products, and I decided to go out of the box for these kind of headphones and definitely made the right choice. I tried the Apple ones, but in my opinion, these were lighter and more comfortable with the same quality. And these are definitely at a bit lower price point. 11/10 recommend.

Had the Bose 700: The voice was course and very loud. I got piss*d, threw the Bose and broke them. Just as well because I got these. Nothing like seeking noise protection and your protection screams in your ears. Also, the Bose didnt have the same rich Bose sound, just me. These: They protect as low as 4hz. They also dont hold the settings which is frustrating, so the four stars. Super battery that charges in minutes. The voice is low and soft. These are the best noise cancelling headphones yet.

The Sony headphone is the best for both noise cancelling functionality as well as intuitive controls. It allows you to carry on conversations by pausing the noise cancelling function, the right headphone controls sound lsvel, forward and back, and they are super light. Battery life is excellent and the carrying case is functional and sturdy.
