Excellent upgrade

WH-1000XM5 26/05/2026 by RAM999 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

Purchased to replace my partners XM3 as I inadvertently spilled a cup of water into the ear piece that the charger goes into. Needless to say, they now fail to charge. However, these are well worth the upgrade as these XM5 have so many more features. Knowing how good these are, I would have upgraded sooner.

Mala elección para comprar

WH-1000XM5 26/05/2026 by Varito (Spain)

Calidad de audio inferior al xm4. La cancelación de ruido no es tan buena y sobre todo no se pueden doblar, algo imperdonable al menos para mi. Sin duda antes compraría otra vez los xm4

Fantastic for Adhders

WH-1000XM5 23/05/2026 by Charlie2908 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

These are incredible for my Adhd and have completely made my work so much easy to do. The noise cancelling function is fantastic. Definitely recommend for any Adhder. Only issue was the manual was pretty poor, had to google how to use it, but to be fair that wasn't exactly difficult to do!!

Fix the design issue.

WH1000XM5/L 21/05/2026 by Meet Patel (Canada)

I bought this headphone expecting it to be worth spending $500. And it worked very well until one day the hinge broke. It was not more than even a year since I purchased the product. And now if I want to repair the hinge, I have to spend another 100$. I searched the internet and found out that this is the common poblem in this headphone. Because of the low quality material and design issue. Yet they refuse to accept that. So basically you have to pay for what actually a manufacturing defect. And Sony also knows this thing, yet they refused to replace the product or atleast consider it in warranty. Such a shame sony.

Hallo Michel,

vielen Dank, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, dein Feedback zu den Sony WH-1000XM5 zu teilen. Es freut uns, dass du mit dem Klang zufrieden bist. Gleichzeitig bedauern wir, dass der Tragesensor bei deinem Kopfhörer nicht wie erwartet funktioniert und die Musikwiedergabe beim Aufsetzen stoppt.

Wir empfehlen dir, den Sensor in der linken Ohrmuschel vorsichtig mit einem trockenen, weichen Tuch zu reinigen, da Staub oder Feuchtigkeit die Erkennung beeinträchtigen können. Zusätzlich kannst du die Funktion „Automatische Musikwiedergabepause“ in der Sony | Headphones Connect App testweise deaktivieren und erneut aktivieren. Weitere Informationen findest du hier: https://cutt.ly/2tB9XBkp

Sollte das Problem weiterhin bestehen, steht dir unser Support-Team gerne für eine genauere Prüfung zur Verfügung:

Brittle materials used

WH-1000XM5 16/05/2026 by Matt N (United Kingdom)

I love the headphones, the sound and the noise cancelling. Unfortunately it seems the arms that the headphones are mounted on are quite brittle and broke easily. I have had to send the headphones in for repair at a cost of almost half the price of the headphones.

A Definite Buy

WH-1000XM5 16/05/2026 by UrbanMerc (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

Bought the Pink version for my adorable wife. This is her first set of ANC, over ear headphones and she loves them. I have been buying these headphones for a few years now and wear them constantly. My first were the three's, then the four's and I presently own the five's. I converted from Samsung phones since the first Xperia 1 and presently still using the Mark V. Looking to get the VIII which is when I will hopefully get my XM6's. I have alot of Sony products in my house, so yes, I would recommend this product whole heartedly if you want a well rounded set of headphones. They do everything you would expect if a flagship product.

Audio spaziale, ma scalda durante il movimento

WH-1000XM5 15/05/2026 by Stefania g (Italy) Verified Purchaser Verified

Voto globale molto positivo. La cancellazione del rumore è formidabile. Al primo ascolto con il 360 Reality Audio sono rimasta a bocca aperta, un effetto avvolgente unico, come essere in mezzo a un'orchestra. Purtroppo, dopo aver toccato l'equalizzatore per adattare le frequenze ai miei acufeni, l'effetto 360° sembra essere scomparso. Forse ho errato io qualche configurazione nell'app. Nota di merito per Amazon Music che è tra i pochi a trasmettere questo formato nativamente anche in forma gratuita. Unico neo: i padiglioni tendono a fare sudare molto. Durante le mie camminate si bagnano velocemente, il che mi fa temere che in estate saranno inutilizzabili all'aperto. Nonostante questo, la qualità sonora resta indiscutibile.

Don't Waste Your Time or Money

WH1000XM5/L 05/05/2026 by DontBuyThese2026 (Canada)

Received my headphones and by the middle of the third song I was listening to was already requesting a refund. Built quality is cheap; headband uncomfortable; not able to get the headphones into a position that didn't feel like there was a bar across my head, noise cancelling not as good as advertised, sound quality ok, but to have any 360 Spatial Audio you need different apps and services. Then comes support - slow and inept. Getting a refund was a process in itself. Would not recommend, will not be purchasing any other Sony headphones.

Hi,

vielen Dank für dein ausführliches Feedback zu deinen Sony WH-1000XM5. Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass du mit dem Sound und der Geräuschunterdrückung zufrieden bist. Gleichzeitig verstehen wir gut, dass Themen wie Tragekomfort und Wärmeentwicklung den Gesamteindruck stark beeinflussen können. Diese leichten Kopfhörer haben ein Finish aus „Soft Fit Leder“. Das Material liegt eng am Kopf an, übt wenig Druck aus und blendet Umgebungsgeräusche aus. Das geräuscharme Design mit stufenlosem Schieberegler, nahtlosem Drehgelenk und Aufhänger sind Grund für den Tragekomfort der WH-1000XM5. Gerne leiten wir dein Feedback an die zuständige Stelle in unserem Haus weiter, damit es gegebenenfalls berücksichtigt werden kann. Solltest du noch Hilfe benötigen, empfehlen wir dir, uns direkt zu kontaktieren. Die Kontaktdaten findest du unter dem folgenden Link: https://cutt.ly/6exW0iJT (Kopiere den Link und füge ihn in ein neues Browserfenster ein).

sound quality is good with the equaliser. however the noise cancelling is disappointing. it has the possibility to be good but only activates effectively in noisy conditions which means in a quiet library i can still hear whispers because the device doesn't activate the noise cancelling. would be 5 star if the noise cancelling was manual rather than automatic so i could turn it up to the max even in quiet areas.

Avoid this product

WH-1000XM5 24/04/2026 by rmunir (United Kingdom)

I bought these in July 2025, expecting "industry-leading" quality for a premium price. Less than a year later, the slider arm has already snapped during normal use. ​What’s most frustrating is that I have a pair of "budget" brand headphones that have lasted years and feel significantly sturdier than these. After doing some research, it’s clear this is a common design flaw with the WH-1000XM5. The plastic swivel point is far too fragile for daily wear and tear. ​The noise canceling and sound are great, but it doesn't matter how good they sound if they are held together by tape within a few months. If you are looking for durability, look elsewhere—or at least look at the previous XM4 model which has a much more reliable hinge. Very disappointed in Sony's build quality on this flagship model.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear you're experiencing discomfort while wearing your WH-1000XM5. This is not the norm, as we strive to deliver the best quality possible.

However, it's worth mentioning that the XM5 is built with high‑quality, lightweight materials, including the soft fit leather ear pads and a flexible band, designed to provide long‑term comfort and reliability during everyday use.

The best noise cancelling headphones I've tried

WH-1000XM5 18/04/2026 by Snue (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

I got these headphones because I'm autistic and needed the full noise cancelling option. I haven't quite learnt how to work them properly yet (I'm not tech minded) but I love the fact you can cover one side with your hand whilst in noise cancelling mode to hear something without taking the headphones off. The sound quality is really good for music. It's a shame there's no paper instructions as like I said I'm not very good at technology. I have tried to find instructions but even so I would definitely recommend these headphones so far. A little pricey but worth it just for the freedom I now have to go in our garden or to a busy cafe etc... I do wish there was a way to make them wireless for when you can't connect to Bluetooth. Maybe there is bur I just haven't worked it out yet 🤷‍♀️
