πŸš€ Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Sony noise-canceling headphones are highly praised for their sturdy build, excellent sound quality, and high performance on noise cancellation. These headphones are favored over Bose’s noise-canceling iterations, and can maintain their superior auditory capabilities in environments with a lot of noise pollution, like aerial or mechanical environments. However, users with smaller head sizes might find the fit a tad bit uncomfortable as the headphones run quite large. Regardless of these minor fit issues, the headphones' performance impresses, promising an immersive listening experience.

Pros

  • πŸ”ˆ Superior sound quality with every detail of the music composition easily noticeable
  • ✈️ Exceptional performance on airplanes, blocking out engine and cabin noises
  • πŸ”‡ Excellent noise cancellation in noisy environments
  • πŸ‘‚ High comfort level, described as "pillows on ears" and suitable for long-wear
  • πŸ“± Impressive app partnership offering useful features and controls

Cons

  • πŸ‘₯ Not ideal for those with smaller heads as the fit is said to be large
  • ⚠️ Potential durability concerns for the earcuff plush material

Should I Buy It?

If you're looking for a pair of headphones with superior sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, and an impressive app partnership, then these headphones are a great choice. But if you have a smaller head size, you might want to consider the fit or look for alternatives that suit your size better. Weigh the pros and cons relative to your needs to make a decision.


  • Excellent Upgrade β€” Perfect for Travel and Amazing Noise Canceling
Color: Black
I previously owned the older version of these Sony headphones and absolutely loved them. Unfortunately, I lost them during a trip, so I decided to invest in the newer WH-1000XM5 model β€” and it did not disappoint! This version is a clear improvement in both design and performance. The noise canceling is simply outstanding β€” it completely blocks out airplane noise, chatter, and other background sounds, making traveling so much more relaxing. The sound quality is top-notch: clear highs, deep bass, and perfectly balanced tones. I mainly use these headphones during flights, and they make a huge difference. The lightweight design and soft ear cushions make them extremely comfortable to wear for long periods. The battery life is excellent, lasting through multiple flights on a single charge, and the auto noise-canceling optimizer works flawlessly in different environments. The only downside is that this model doesn’t fold like the previous version, which makes it a bit less compact when packing for travel. However, the carrying case is well-designed and protective, so it’s not a major issue. Overall, this is a premium product that truly delivers what it promises. Sony continues to set the standard for noise-canceling headphones. If you travel often or simply want the best possible audio experience, the WH-1000XM5 is absolutely worth it. ... show more

  • Sony never disappoints!
Color: Black
I thoroughly enjoy what Sony has to offer in their product line. I have the PlayStation 5, a Sony Bravia 4K TV and several other Sony products. Yes although I have owned a few of their product line I will not try to be biased here with the review. What got me into Sony products was really their earphones dating back to 2011! They have the best earphones you could get for $20 back at the time in 2011 and now the quality they still continue to put out never disappoints! Here's the pros and cons of the Sony WH-1000XM5. Update: I also picked up the XM4 Earbuds from Sony and take note that those are on a different level for listening to music compared to the XM5 Over the Ear headphones. Shares the same features like the XM5, not the same sound like over the ear obviously but also more marketed to those who goes to the gym and likes something more compact. Pros: Comfortable and lightweight! I don't ever have a complaint with what they have to offer when it comes to comfort. These are better than BOSE in regards as to comfort. I think the one thing that makes them comfortable also is that they are light. They weigh only about 0.56 pounds! People tend to have problems with headphones if they are heavy in my opinion! I also assume they use a low density memory foam for cushioning which is great but will eventually need to be replaced or tended to if left compressed or squished for too long. Unique features Noise Cancelling is top notch but not much different than their previous lines in my opinion! It is a standard these days to get noise cancelling and the headphones are great for drowning out noise if need be. They also tend to those who need to be aware of their surroundings by implementing a ambient mode like previous models. Works great and works like a charm by either taking the headphones off or covering the touch control panel. Also the Speak to Pause Music feature is insanely nice to have! Helps when your hands are busy and or you just don't want to adjust your headphones having to speak. Superb sound! The sound quality out of these are amazing! Does really well in all areas of music genres. Particularly really in low frequencies for bass! I get to enjoy these at a great volume and it pairs amazingly with my PS5 as a gaming headset! (Will mention the headphones does not come with a microphone for gaming when using a headphone jack.) As a pair of noise cancelling headphones, you can expect to hear a positively good detail in music, movies, gaming or even a phone call! They are clear and surprisingly really balanced. The microphone on these headphones for phone calls are great. Better than the previous versions. Fast charging! The charging rate of these headphones is incredible! I never knew how fast charging can be with this! There's times I have left this powered on overnight as I'm at work for my 10 hour job and it was drained by the time I wanted to use it again. In those times I left it charging and goodness greatness these were ready to go in a about 10-15 minutes! I enjoy these so much that I'm actually glad they have a 24-30 hour battery life. Cons: Cost. Its expensive! If you can get these on sale, it's worthwhile! If it's in your budget go for it! You pay for what you get in my opinion and these are worth their weight in gold! Fitment. They don't exactly fit around my short wide neck whenever I need to take it off and be present in a conversation or in my surroundings. Not exactly a big matter or deal breaker. More so it's a personal perspective. My neck size is 15 ΒΎ inches in circumference and that's pretty average I believe. I have to extend these in order to keep them around my neck without compromise. They also do not fold inward like the previous Sony headphone models but again never a issue. Cushion. Yes the ear cup cushions are comfortable but again when I place them around my neck it compresses the cushion to a point where it feels awkward after putting it back on. I'm looking at other options to replace their soft fit leather design. Update: There is different earcups that you can replace the OEM cups with but it comes at a cost of I believe $60 which is worth noting. Conclusion. Worthiness of $350+ (price as of 12/07/2022) during the holidays? Yes! Personal opinionated review: Sony WH-1000XM5 or other leading competition? Sony, easily Sony. I've never been unhappy about this purchase and I tell people that Sony is industrial leading company that continues to impress people when it comes to their headphones. Beats by Dre(Apple), Apple and Bose has always been great by popularity but Sony gets appraised by quality! I will update this review as I go until they put a new model out. ... show more

  • Keeps the Peace, Sound Great, Effective Noise Cancelling
Color: Black
I have the XM4 and XM5 and my wife has the XM6. I use my XM5s while my wife blasts the TV. I can sit with her and listen to audio books or even classical music at very reasonable volumes without hardly any bleed through from the TV. So, I'll give it 5 stars for keeping the piece! They sound great. I have Amazon Music and set to the best quality and just love the way things sound, both the spatial quality and the subtle sounds I love to hear. When a call comes in, I never have a problem with answering and having a conversation. Even with the TV playing the person at the other end doesn't seem to notice. I don't like the mode where I start talking and the headphones go into a mode where outside noise is fed through. I keep that turned off. I also have a little difficulty where the computer grabs the BT from the phone. I sometimes have to turn off the computer's BT to stop that. It doesn't always happen so it might be the computer, not the headphones. I do not have them set to connect to two devices at the same time. Battery life is great. Hours of listening and quick recharge. It won't play while charging. Just a design choice I guess. The on/off/battery state button and the fwd/rev vol-up/dn gestures work well. I try to keep things simple. The build seems solid, the cushions are taking a lot of use without any visible wear and tear. ... show more
