Worst headphones ever
I hate these headphones. They’re so poor quality for their price point. It takes forever to connect (literally 5/10 minutes.), doesn’t even have necessarily great sound quality, and have the time the controls on the earpiece don’t work. Save your money.

Just all round brilliant headphones, for me.
Excellent headphones, far better than I could have imagined; very happy with my purchase. A friend advised my buying these headphones. I purchased for the 'ambient, adaptive sound control' of my surroundings. And these 'ambient, adaptive sound controls' are brilliant. And then to discover music sounds absolutly fab' too! Plus I find the headphones very comfortable. And the 'Sound Connect App' very useful and helpful.

Faulty buttons
Bought four different pairs as each one had faulty buttons (touch functions to pause etc not working) before I eventually gave up on Sony and went for Bose instead. Very disappointed as it meant a lot of effort was spent trying to get them. Had seen good reviews so kept trying but am likely to avoid Sony after this experience

Design Flaw
I got these headphones less than a year ago and the hinges have snapped out of place on both sides of the headphones. Initially i glued the hinge back into place the first time it happened and now it had happened on the other side. Extremely upset as I paid full price and anytime i speak with anyone about repairs I am told that it does not fall under the warranty. I recommend you save yourself the time and money and invest in other headphones by other companies because this design flaw appears to be common with Sony headphones. I originally enjoyed the sound quality of the project and was certain that the headphones were the ones for me but now that this has happened to both sides and I find it it has happened to many others it makes me question my overall purchase

Awesome sound Quality
I’ve been using the Sony WH-1000XM5, and honestly, it feels like stepping into silence whenever I put them on. The noise cancelling is insanely good. When you’re on a bus, train, or even around people talking, it just fades everything out. It actually makes you notice how noisy your environment was before 😄 Sound-wise, it’s clean and smooth, but not perfect out of the box. I had to tweak the EQ a bit to get that punchy bass I like. After that, it sounds amazing. Comfort is where it really wins for me. I can wear it for hours without any pain or pressure. That matters more than you think.

Good but
Had these around 1 month now and I really like them, ANC is great and the app allows lost of customisation. A couple of negatives, they are large and I look like I am wearing ear defenders, they get uncomfortable eventually if you wear glasses due to the position of the speakers

Beware the hinge breaking
I bought these one year and three months ago and they just broke. They’re *just* outside the warranty. There is a faulty hinge mechanism on these headphones that Sony knows about (look up: sony xm5 broken hinge if you want to see all the many, many people who’ve had the same issue). Apparently even if you’re covered by warranty, they classify this as “physical damage” and won’t cover it. I would never buy these and wouldn’t recommend them because of this. They’re too expensive to have known design flaws that Sony refuses to fix.

Operation during an RV trip.
I bought mine a year ago. On a recent RV trip, I used it to listen to XM on my phone and have noise cancellation from our very noisy RV. Battery had to be recharged after just a couple hours and during the recharge, the noise cancellation and music were inoperative. A battery replacement option would have been a good feature.

Hi JV0410, We’re sorry to hear about the battery performance you’ve experienced with your WH-1000XM5. While these headphones typically offer up to 30 hours of battery life, performance can vary based on settings like Noise Canceling and Speak-to-Chat. We recommend ensuring the firmware is up to date via the Sony Headphones Connect app and trying a different USB-C cable for a full charge. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab

Good sound quality but not comfortable.
Sound quality and noise cancelling is great. Ambient sound is good. But they're uncomfortable to wear. After only 10 minutes they start hurting on the head strap and after 30 mins they also start to feel uncomfortable on the ears. Considering the price, I expected to be able to wear them all day and still be comfortable.

Great sound
This is my 4th set of Sony headphones throughout the years and in terms of sound quality they are the best yet. I use headphones mostly for TV and movies at night and for music. The XM5’s are a good all rounder and are comfortable for longer periods than my previous headphones. Got them for a bargain price and hopefully they will last a good few years until the XM6’s are heavily discounted as well. Great buy.

Will break just over the warranty
Do not buy. Way to expensive for such a short lifespan. The plastic casing of the swivel hinge broke 1 year and 2 months in and Sony would not honor the warranty. Once it breaks the headphone will not properly secure to your ear making them ultimately useless. i never worked out in them walked in them. i use them at my desk to listen to music while i work. Don't waste your money.
