Sony WH-1000XM5 Adaptive Noise Cancelling Wireless Over-Ear Headphones - Black is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 335.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Flight Changing Bought the XM5's a few weeks ago in preparation for another cross country work flight. Instead of taking my venerable Sony MD 7506's or Galaxy Buds Plus, the new XM5's are amazing. Jet engine noise? What noise. Shocked is an understatement. Anyway one of the flights was delayed from landing due to military training and the XM5's stayed on for 7 hours straight without discomfort. Industrial design is top class, clamp pressure is good, ear cups fit perfectly and are soft, headband feels light and the construction is very nice. Not sure how they breath but ears wern't sweaty after 7 hours. The app is 'ok' and I've turned off all the location features. Headphones work a treat.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from not comfy In contrast to many reviews on the web, I found them extremely uncomfortable even after wearing them only for 15 minutes. I blame it on the quite shallow earcups since the material feels soft. I looked at many competitors since and they all have way deeper earcups and feels better on the ear. Also they are very prone for sweat as there is no room for breathing probably to give extra passive noise cancelling. Otherwise would be happy with them but again the discomfort is a show stopper for me. Other things to critique is that Sony does not provide international warranty which I find poor given they are selling in all these countries

Rated 4 out of 5 by from good 4 music, bad 4 vids I bought this thinking it was the best of the best, especially compared to my previous Bose headphones. It is great at playing music and sounds excellent. However, when watching videos such as YouTube, movies, shows etc., the audio is not good at all, and the dialogue is muffled while sound effects are too loud. It sounds like the mixing of channels is wrong. This is not an issue with my laptop / phone etc, as videos sound perfect on other headphones. Please fix this with a software update, as it really sucks given these are meant to be one of the very best headphones. I want to enjoy my movie/show-watching sessions with good audio!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love them. I bought this a couple of weeks ago. It's taken me a while to get used to the controls and the settings in the app but, I think I'm finally getting the hang of using it. I did have a problem that took me a while to fix. The headphones kept pausing over and over again and it was really annoying, until I found the sound settings on the app and realised it was set to pause automatically when I was talking to someone. I was singing along and the headphones thought I was talking to someone and pausing haha. Now I know to turn that feature off when I'm alone and want to sing along. The sound is good and they are comfortable to wear.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Bluetooth is working well After my MX2 experience's it’s super to have multiple connections at the same time. It’s a shame that the controle software for the MX5 is not very stable, as if there are to many options and movements that is confusing at times. What word to use to activate the ambient sound or when I take of the headphone and it pause the source. When it works it’s fantastic but it doesn’t always work witch is a bit confusing. Then there is the matter of the smaller head band, what can be a bit painful after a few hours and I have to hove it around a lot after some time on my head. In that regard the MX2 was much less painful. Sound and weight is better on the MX5 I must say.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from One issue I strongly hope I compared my XM4 with XM5, noticed that XM5 only have 100% noise cancelling when music is playing, while XM4 doesn’t have this issue, no matter music is playing or not, it gives NC 100%. I’m sure Sony put the new idea on the new NC program in XM5. For this point, I really don’t like it. I hope Sony can change back in the new version update or in the next generation. Beside this, when XM5 is output 100% NC ability, it is the best.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but... Sound quality is fantastic and the noise cancelling is the best I've experienced, but a couple issues: 1) The ear cup cushion is nice and soft, and when you first put it on it feels great, but after a while compresses down to where the "speakers" presses up against my ears - causing a bit of discomfort. Those with large ears must keep this in mind. It would be nice if the cushions were changeable to allow for larger ears, or ones with grooves to accommodate glasses 2) Voice commands - software set up to work with Alexa - not so much with Siri. My experience so far has been a bit dodgy.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from <<<< Sound Leak Sound leak can be heard from a far distance (1-2m)even when it is near 50 in volume. Wasn’t expecting this and I am very disappointed in that area as I will be using these on public transport and do not want others to hear my music. Also noise cancellation is not that good. I can hear a lot around me including cars and other background noise. Overall sound quality is good and the ability to equalise how you want it to is good but the sound leak and noise cancellation does it for me.
