XM5's upgrading from XM4's
Very good quality, I am upgrading from my XM4's as I broke the head band. The noise cancelling setting does not seem to be as good as the 4's, but the sound quality is definitely better. They are comfortable.

Disappointing, not worth the money
Really disappointed with the noise canceling capabilities. Does not perform like I thought they would on flights. Also design is not comfortable, causes headache and pain on top of my head.

They’re fine for audio, but the noise cancellation isn’t as good as you would think. Very distracting in moderately noisy environments such as classrooms or the office

Great Sound, Decent ANC, Poor Build Quality
I bought these headphones a few days ago, and have been using them ever since. The moment I opened the box, and held the headphones, I was felt that they were quite fragile. The hinges that held the parts that covered the ears were designed to break. So, I'm quite disappointed. I just wish the ANC was more effective, it isn't good enough to mute out the noise of water boiling.

Hi crystalcastle, We are truly sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the build quality and noise-canceling performance of your new headphones. To help optimize the Active Noise Canceling (ANC) to better block out everyday sounds like a boiling kettle, please ensure the earcups are tightly sealed around your ears and use the Sony | Sound Connect app to run the Noise Canceling Optimizer. You can verify if this improved isolation by testing the ANC in a noisy environment after recalibration. For additional product support or warranty information regarding your build quality concerns, please visit our Sony Support Page: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab

Quality is awful
I only had these headphones for 2 months. They broke in on the hinges twice. My last Sony headphones (WCH720N) had the same issue. Only those lasted a year, these broke instantly and they were more expensive. Never buying from Sony again

Excellent sound and noise cancellation
Excellent sound and noise cancellation I’m very pleased with the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. The sound quality is excellent, the noise cancellation works extremely well, and they are comfortable to wear for long periods. The battery life is also very good, and calls come through clearly. The carrying case is slightly bulky, but overall these are excellent-quality headphones and I would happily recommend them.

XM5 bettered way more than my previous buys
The headphones are really comfortable. It's cushions are super comfy and is very lightweight. The sound quality is very good but still can better on deep sound and those feeble notes. The noice cancellation is really good compared to the other headphones I used such as Bose QuietComfort 2 and Sennheiser HD450 BT. But I sometimes hate the app firmware issue where the settings get adjusted back to default for some reason. Although the Adaptive Sound Control feature is good, in my situation, the mode switched from noice cancellation to adaptive mode unnecessarily. And the packaging of the product is super premium. I loved the way the headphone reached me in a supergood case. I loved the colour also, the matte navy blue. Overall, it's a really good buy.

Designed horribly, breaks from natural use
I bought the headphones 9 months ago liked them but they didn't feel much better from the wh-1000xm4, until 3 months ago they started breaking. The speaker cup broke off where the headphones twist from just normal use, I fixed it with hot glue then recently the other side broke. I am very careful with my headphones I dont even put them in bags, only on my head or case/stand so there is no reason for them to break easily. Even my wh-1000xm4 have lasted over 3 years of constant use with no physical issues. The cherry on top I contact Sony since i have a warranty and they denied it admitting it broke from natural use and still wouldn't be covered. Would not recommend this gen of the wh, find a refurbished xm4 or better another company.

Dissapointed
I'm very disappointed with this product, I bought a Sony TV a Sony Soundbar and these headphones, I have downloaded the Connect App and it appears that I cannot change the sound quality via the equaliser to suit my needs to watch TV, that is to have a different volume to the soundbar and a clear sound. It has been suggested to me that the only way I can achieve this is to buy a Bluetooth Transmitter really!

Poor easy instructions
I and very disappointed with the customer support with this product. I still have not been able to get the headphones working properly because of the lack of instructions. I cannot answer my phone when it rings. Where is your instruction manual?
