Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Industry Leading Headphones with Auto Noise Canceling Optimizer, Crystal Clear Hands-Free Calling, and Alexa Voice Control, Silver

The Apple headphones max are a far better value for superior quality and function.

The sound quality is among the beat I’ve tried. there are 2 issues though, it is extremely uncomfortable on my head which is normal to large I would say and the LDAC bitrate mode selection is not remembered by the device so after each reconnection it is reset to the default mode (which is balanced mode: between speed and quality). regarding the fit, it press way to hard against the skull part and I can’t stand having it on my head for more than 15 minutes. it sucks, I really wanted it to work.

These sound ok. Personally like the sound from older Bose 700 model. But always disconnecting and not working with Teams. Frustrated that they are not able to handle it. Yes I have tried everything on Windows 10 to get them to work. They will literally work watching a YouTube video and as soon as I go to Teams they stop working.

The Sony headphone is the best for both noise cancelling functionality as well as intuitive controls. It allows you to carry on conversations by pausing the noise cancelling function, the right headphone controls sound lsvel, forward and back, and they are super light. Battery life is excellent and the carrying case is functional and sturdy.

Had to return to sony for a replacement. Super inconvenient.

I have had these for a month and they cannot play a full song without shutting off. I have disabled the auto off function and still, at times they can play for a matter of seconds before shutting off. This is my second bad experience with Sony. I will never recommend these or any other Sony device to anyone. For $400 they should be able to play uninterrupted for hours. What a waste.

Been really enjoying the headphones: the bluetooth multipoint support is really nice and the build and sound quality is decent. Unfortunately I got these headphones for active noise cancellation and for inexplicable reasons sony has decided that they are smarter than the consumer and took away the ability to set the anc strength that the xm4s had. This should be an option and until it affects headphone sales sony has in incentive to reverse this decision.

The noise canceling is unbelievable as is the comfort

I cant walk to my nearest coworkers desk without losing signal when these are connected to my computer...seems like a huge miss in the design. I work in a tiny office (the whole place is 1,000 sqft) and with these connected to my PC I can only move maybe 8 ft in any direction before the sound becomes crackly and eventually disconnects entirely. So they work for 5% of my 1,000 sqft space. Im returning them, they otherwise work okay but honestly not any better than my last $200 pair of headphones which actually stays connected. Sad I wasted time on these. Word of warning - if you have coworkers with deeper voices, these will not block ANY of that sound whatsoever.

The sound and noise cancelation is very good. I hate the volume control though, it is very finicky. I also wish the app would allow you to lock it to one device while it is connected to multiple devices. When I am listening to something on my tablet, if the sound pauses for even a microsecond it always switches over to my TV audio device. I dont want it to switch unless I tell it to. It is a major pain having to constantly reopen the app and switch it back. (hoping somebody at Sony reads this)
