Amazing headphones!
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!

Strong Features, Serious Structural Concerns
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.

Good but an annoying issue
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

Great value headphones
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.

Review of the Sony WH-1000XM5 After Switching from
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.

Headphones
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 .
1 reply from Sony North America Customer Support team - 10 days ago
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Ana Laura. We are truly sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the earpads peeling on your WH-1000XM5 headphones after only a month of use. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and frustration this has caused, especially given that you feel this should be covered under warranty. We understand how upsetting it is when a premium product begins to show wear so quickly, and we regret that our initial assessment deemed this type of damage cosmetic. While cosmetic wear is generally excluded from the limited warranty, we take all customer feedback about durability and material quality seriously. We would like to review the specific details of your case, as we strive to ensure our customers are satisfied with their investment. Please contact us directly at socialsupport@am.sony.com and provide your name, the headphones' serial number, and any existing case or reference number you were given by support. We are committed to helping you find a resolution and regret that this product hasn't met your expectations for quality and service in this instance. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Best regards, Gus, Sony North America Customer Support

Not worth the price.
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.

Be careful ordering from Target. I received my delivery with the item missing from the box. The box was neatly taped and clearly hadn’t been opened or altered during shipping.

Do not buy these! Look up the issue with the hinge before buying
Look up the ongoing issues with the hinge piece on these headphones. Sony knows about the faulty pieces and continues to sell them. If you look at the newest model of these headphones you will see that the hinge piece is completely different. Do not waste your money. Go with a different pair.

Noise cancelling breaking after one week!!!
My parents bought me some Sony m5 headphones for my birthday which was on the 15/11/25. I don’t think they even got to a week before the noise cancelling had problems. I have a high pitch ringing noise in my right ear every time I turn on the noise cancelling. I am really disappointed with this quality considering they are supposed to be some of the best headphones on the market. Truly embarrassing to be honestly
