Rubbish and third class plastic hinges

I bought it with a very happy heart but I really am very disappointed by the design flaw that results in broken hinge. Despite using it very delicately I still ended up with broken hinge.

Firmware loop/bluetooth lockout

As soon as I these headphones arrived I was advised to download the Sony app which told me I had to update the firmware. I have now been stuck in a faulty firmware loop, with the headphones no longer able to pair over bluetooth. I am getting advice from 3x ai systems to try and unlock the headphones. So I have been unable to use them since I bought them. If I ever mange to get out of this nightmare I'll let you know if these lovely looking headphones actually work well and I'll update my rating!

The King of Silence Just Got Better

If you are looking for the absolute best all-around wireless headphones on the market right now, the search likely ends here. Sony had a massive challenge trying to top their legendary XM4s, but with the WH-1000XM5, they have managed to refine an already near-perfect formula. Here is why these headphones are a masterpiece: 1. World-Class Noise Cancellation (ANC) This is the headline feature, and it is startlingly good. The XM5s feature two processors controlling eight microphones to filter out sound. The result is an eerie, beautiful silence. ? Real-world performance: They don't just block out the low hum of an airplane engine; they are surprisingly effective at dampening higher-pitched, erratic noises like office chatter or traffic. ? Auto-Optimization: You don't need to fiddle with settings. The headphones automatically optimize the noise cancelling based on your wearing conditions and environment. 2. Incredible Sound Quality Sony has switched to a new 30mm carbon fiber driver unit. While smaller than the previous generation, the sound is actually cleaner and more natural. ? The Sound Signature: The bass is punchy and tight without being muddy, while the vocals and mids are crystal clear. ? LDAC Support: If you stream high-resolution audio, these headphones support LDAC, allowing you to hear subtle details that other Bluetooth headphones simply miss. 3. All-Day Comfort & New Design The design overhaul is sleek, modern, and distinct. ? The Fit: They use a "soft fit leather" that feels incredibly gentle against the skin. The clamping force is just right-secure enough to stay on, but light enough that you forget you are wearing them after a few hours. ? Stepless Slider: The headband adjusts silently and smoothly (no clicking sounds), adding to the premium feel. 4. Crystal Clear Calls This is perhaps the biggest upgrade over the previous model. With four beamforming microphones and AI-based noise reduction structure, voice quality is excellent. Even in a breezy outdoor environment, your voice comes through clearly to the person on the other end. 5. Battery Life & Features ? 30 Hours of Playback: You can fly halfway across the world and back on a single charge. ? Fast Charging: In a rush? A quick 3-minute charge (using a USB-PD charger) gives you a whopping 3 hours of playback. ? Smart Features: Speak-to-Chat automatically pauses music when you start talking, and multipoint connection lets you pair with your laptop and phone simultaneously. The Verdict The Sony WH-1000XM5 is a triumph of engineering. They are comfortable enough to wear for an entire workday, the battery lasts forever, and the silence they provide is genuinely transformative for focus or relaxation.

Hit and miss not good for me

I'm uncertain about these headphones I was expecting so much more for the price The sound is good And I like you can set different modes and Allo voice to come through But in noise cancelling mode I don't feel it cuts out enough noise for me, my old headphones that cost £40 do a better job And people say they can't hear me when I use them for phone calls, Hence for the £199 I paid, I am disappointed and was expecting so much more for the price

PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION

Do I need a two pronged jack to use these headphones on the Emirates flight to Australia? My friend said she could not get hers to work using the one prong cord when she flew out last month. Appreciate a response. Sony are impossible to reach either on email, chat or on the phone.

Warranty does not cover Ripping Headband

Have two MX5's and one MX6. Love the sounds and product overall however, Sony's warranty does not cover the headband which ripped. There was no misuse at all.

DO NOT BUY

HINGE DEFECT. This products was taken care for extremely well for 11 months and broke 10 days before warranty ended. Sony still refused to fix. This is a known issue with the headphones and this company refuses to own up to their mistake and do the right thing.

Top?Tier Sound, No Regrets

The XM5s are honestly the best headphones I've used so far. I went from store to store trying to figure out which pair to buy, but a friend recommended these, and the moment I tried them, they went straight into my cart. The sound quality is unreal, especially the bass and noise cancelling. So cool.
