Sony WH-1000XM5 Bluetooth Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones

Superb sound quality and noise cancellation. Stylish. Well made.

Headphones suck! Stopped working after barely a year, coincidentally when the warranty expired. Expensive pair that doesn’t even last and has cheap parts. Awful. And the Sony customer support is worse.

Mic doesn’t work well

Have two MX5's and one MX6. Love the sounds and product overall however, Sony's warranty does not cover the headband which ripped. There was no misuse at all.

Bought a month ago, and are brilliant. Nice and light, noise cancelling is amazing (compared to my old pair that had a little) and love the sound balancing features

The XM5s are honestly the best headphones I’ve used so far. I went from store to store trying to figure out which pair to buy, but a friend recommended these, and the moment I tried them, they went straight into my cart. The sound quality is unreal, especially the bass and noise cancelling. So cool.

Very happy with my new Sony WH-1000XM5, amazing sound and good fit for any occasion definitely recommend

Experiencing problems between the pads and my glassess with not nice friction noice

I've only had these a week and I'm amazed at house good they are. The noise cancelling is incredible and makes for such a good listening experience. I also really like the features such as removing your headphones puts the music on pause, and it automatically continues when you put them back on. Also one hand over your right ear will temporarily lower the volume of what's playing so you can hear what's going on around you. The ONLY downside I found is using them at the gym, and kind of activity that involves arms moving against headset can skip song etc, as controls are touch sensitive. I love them and sooooo glad I bought them!

I purchased these headphones during the Black Friday sale and was initially impressed with their performance. Upon testing, I found them to be lightweight with a secure fit and exceptional active noise cancellation capabilities. The overall sound quality and design met my expectations. However, within one week of use, I noticed a hairline fracture developing on the ear cup. Upon investigation, I discovered this appears to be a widespread manufacturing defect, with numerous user reports documenting similar issues. Given the prevalence of this problem, I made the difficult decision to return the headphones rather than risk receiving another pair with the same defect. While the product offers good value for the price point, the structural integrity issue is a significant concern that warrants resolution before purchase. Potential buyers should be aware that the durability of this model remains questionable until the manufacturing defect is addressed.

Typically very good, excellent noise cancelling and sound quality. No build quality issues so far. The ability to connect to 2 devices at once is useful The only thing that I think let's them down is there is annoying issue where the headphones will occasionally disconnect from devices/turn off. Seems to be a common issue which I have not found a solution for

dreadful - swivel broke so easily no need for swivel either

I boought this item a couple of weeks ago and very pleased with it. For me, a comfortable fit on the head and over the ears. Exterior sound is well muffled and i like the balance of bass and treble and find listening to music very pleasing, as is listening to people speaking, such as in a podcast. I got a good deal on the headphones via Richer Sounds and think the headphones are excellent value for money.

I’ve been using the Sony WH-1000XM5 for only two days, and the difference compared to my previous headphones (the JBL Live 770NC) is absolutely huge — especially in terms of sound quality and comfort. With the JBL, I liked the strong bass, but in many tracks the sound felt a bit muddy. The low and mid frequencies sometimes blended together, and the overall presentation could get slightly confusing depending on the song. It had power, but not much clarity. The WH-1000XM5, on the other hand, delivers a completely different listening experience. The sound is cleaner, more detailed, and far better balanced. Even using Bluetooth with my iPhone 16 Pro Max and my MacBook Air (which don’t support Sony’s high-resolution audio codecs), the XM5 still sounds outstanding. The level of detail, instrument separation, and overall richness of the audio is miles ahead of what I experienced with the JBL. Comfort is another strong point. The XM5 is incredibly light, the fit is perfect, and I can wear it for long periods with zero fatigue — something I couldn’t say about many other headphones I’ve tried. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM5 provides a fuller, clearer, and more enjoyable sound signature, along with excellent comfort. It’s a significant upgrade in every way, and I’m extremely happy with the switch. Highly recommended.

A little too big for my head size, would be perfect fit with a hoodie under.

They are bad headphones . Within a month they start to peel off . The one year warranty doesn’t cover because they said it’s cosmetic .

Good voice quality, easy to use, voice is clear. It is worth to buy

Pretty much exactly the same as my old XM3 which is now about 5 years old. Not any better sound, noise cancelling is similar. Case is worse.

Beyond happy with my XM5. They are everything I wanted in headphones. The ANC is top notch, sound quality is elite, comfort level is 10/10, feels very premium.

Love it so far. Love everything about it. Packaging etc
