Product details
Web ID: 18560339Excellent Headphones
I've had this headphones for about a month. The headphone is beautifully designed and the sound sound quality is next to none. I love the touch and noise cancelling features. However, it leaks outside noise when you turn your head to the right.

Great sound but not great if you sweat at work
I’ve had my WH-1000XM5 for a little shy of 1year I am having an issue with moisture getting into the headphones near the drivers and sensors. When I turn my head the sensor activates and turns off my music or hang up the phone. I’ve tried the steps Sony tech support suggested but nothing has fixed the problem. I use my headphones at work to drown out the loud machinery we use. Sound quality is excellent. Customizations are great. Phone calls tend to be clear and my voice tends to be low for person on the other side of my call. I do love these headphones but would be nice if I could keep the moisture out of driver & sensor area.

Quality headphones !
I am very pleased with my new headphones ! The sound quality is excellent. I also want say that these headphones do not have those horrible creaking noises you get with cheaper poor quality headphones when you move your head around, which is wonderful.

Great cans but high resolution through amp so so.
I have owned several headphones and very particular about high resolution capability of these cans. The Xm5 is considered a great headphone for noise cancelling but with wired connection to a pha-3 portable amp, driving it through balanced connection. It's performance did not go further. Just flat response though I could presume the burn in is still not enough. One of the best Sony headphones and yet affordable is actually the mdr-1A. If the acoustics could be brought to xm7 or xm8. That masterpiece would be complete. I am still waiting for new mdr-1am3 or mdr-2 and then I can make a better comparison
