Poor Build Quality

Bought mine August 2024. I work from home, so I thought these would be excellent to block out some noise. I got a year and a half out of them before they broke. Pros: Noise-cancelling technology, weight, sound, clamping pressure. Cons: Six months before my extended warranty expired, my headset snapped. If you look at the extendable arms, there is a horizontal line where the ear cup can swivel. Just under this line is a piece of angled plastic (with the Sony name printed on it) that connects to the cup itself. This bit is where my product broke. All I was doing was taking them off my head like a normal person. Two hands, slightly open them, and take them off. I have a small head, so I am on the smallest adjustment of the headset, and they don't need to open far for them to come on and off. I heard a snap as I took them off, only to be met with a nasty crack that destroyed the ear clamping potential. The sound was still working fine, but the product had instantly become useless with the snap. I sent in a support email with a picture of the snap. I was told: "Kindly note that this is considered a physical damage that voids the warranty terms and conditions. Therefore, we can only proceed with a chargeable service." This is a physical issue with the design. With enough time and pressure, that angled piece of plastic has a hard time dealing with normal daily stress, and ends up snapping. I know this after visiting several forums, seeing my EXACT same crack on many other customer headsets. I don't actually travel with this headset at all, since I work from home. This headset is taken off, and set into its case on my side table each and every day. It lives a very boring life. I don't take it off with one hand and slap it around like a pool noodle. I thought I'd have a better experience with support, but the response I received only reinforced every negative comment about Sony in the forums over this same structural problem. It's quite disheartening to see so many others with my same issue. It's irritating that this isn't classified as a known issue, either. I didn't even get two years with these things. On top of that, I had swapped from Bose TO Sony for noise-cancelling. This product is far too expensive and lacks the structural integrity of daily use for me to want to purchase from this line or brand again.

Bad Hinges

Headphone broke on hinge, customer support was no help and after further research saw that these headphones have the same issues with the hinges, sad to have to write a bad review of a sony product as i expected higher quality.

Ok so far

Once you get used to connecting them via bluetooth, they work fine. A lot of features to get used to. Never owned headphones before so not able to compare them. I do find them a little uncomfortable to wear as I have spectacles.

Better than Bose

I brought the Bose ultra NC to try, I had the wh-1000xm5 before but wanted to try something different. The Sony is 100% better so I took the Bose back and got the Sony again????

Horrible. Broke twice within two years.

I bought these headphones in October of 2024. The left hinge broke in April of 2025. I got it fixed through the official repair center that Sony offers and paid 90 dollars. When I got it back from the repair center, it randomly started turning off while in use. In February of 2026 the same hinge on the same side breaks again. Its not like I'm being rough wuth my headphones. I am very careful with them. If they're so expensive, why do they break so easily? This seems to be a common issue with many people as well. This issue should definitely be addressed.

Good audio marred by awful interface

I bought based on the Wirecutter review. First off: Sound quality and noise cancellation: excellent. So why 2 stars? Everything else about these is extremely frustrating. Can't use while charging. Unintuitive and confusing buttons to turn on, connect to bluetooth, and adjust noise cancellation - after year, I still don't know how to use them (I gave up long ago). "Smart features" are very dumb and auto-enabled: I clear my throat at my desk and music pauses. My default use is plugged in with a wire, no noise cancellation, because the UX of these is so frustrating and continues to frustrate me a year later. Perhaps someone who enjoys tinkering with smart features in an app would enjoy these, but they've been the most frustrating experience I've ever had with headphones and I regret not returning them after getting them.

Amazing headphones

I bought these headphones about a month ago and I have zero complaints. Audio is near perfect with noise cancellation being the best I have ever tried. Transparency mode is good and comfortability is also super. Overall these are fantastic headphones and well rounded with only one room for improvement: the physical design. Still portable in their case but foldability would be ideal on noise cancelling headphones meant for portability.

meh

Sounds fine. Not the best noise canceling. if you are trying to make calls, don't buy these - the microphone does not function at all. the automatic turn off stopped working and battery power time shortened about six months in so they die constantly if you don't remember to turn them off immediately.

DO NOT BUY

Do not buy these headphones. They end up snapping where the earcup meats the headband. Look online for the amount of people that have had this issue with this model. What already expensive headphones Sony charge you to fix them apparently instead of admitting fault and doing a recall.

New purchase

I found the headphones on EBay. They were a good price due to a damaged box but other than that in perfect condition. I bought them for a holiday in a few weeks. They were easy to set up and very comfortable especially as I wear glasses. The sound and noise cancelling are excellent. Really happy with my purchase

Sometimes finicky but does the job well

I've been meaning to get this kind of headphones for a while now and I'm happy I did. When it does what I set it to, like if I want to have noise cancelling ON or if I'd rather have ambient noise, the experience itself is good. It's also nice to know that when I speak, the headphones can detect those and audio stops momentarily. I just wish the "auto switcher" or the way it detects when I'm moving would respect when I set it to either noise cancelling or ambient noise. There are times it randomly switches between the two, and it's a bit annoying to have to switch it back manually. But otherwise it's a really good product that I think will last me a few years.

Absolutely stunning headphones! The noise cancelling is on another level to my Sony 710s, whilst maintaining a crisp, rich sound quality. The new features (touch controls, conversation mode, etc) take a little getting used to, but are amazing once you do.

Great set of headphones

I brought these headphones on special offer in Costco, and I'm glad I did. They are amazing, great sound quality and battery life is good. Only downside I've really found is when using the multipoint connection, it sometimes drops out on one device if the other starts making a sound.

An absolutely incredible pair of headphones; the b

These are hands-down the best headphones I have ever bought. I am a musician and music producer, so would say I have a sensitive ear to sound quality. The bass is superbly clean, and the trebles are so crisp, it's like sitting in a room watching a live performance of the artist. The touch screen functions are incredible - the entirety of the right flat side is a touch board! Volume, skipping a track, and more. I love the speak-to-chat function, where your music stops playing momentarily if you are talking, then has a gradual fade when you stop talking in so it doesn't jolt you. The Sound Connect App allows you to change the EQ in many different ways! So great. Call quality is very crisp; there is just the slightest static to the receiving end. The build and comfort is phenomenal - so soft, cushy, and secure. I got the Midnight Blue, and it looks like a designer pair of headphones! In love. Thank you so much, Sony!

Sony XM5 Headphone

I bought this in 2024 and have no any complaints. Sound is awesome and the best part is, of course, the ANC. Headphone is lightweight so I never had any problems with wearing it continuously for 4-5 hours at my work. Battery backup is also awesome.
