Dissapointed
I'm very disappointed with this product, I bought a Sony TV a Sony Soundbar and these headphones, I have downloaded the Connect App and it appears that I cannot change the sound quality via the equaliser to suit my needs to watch TV, that is to have a different volume to the soundbar and a clear sound. It has been suggested to me that the only way I can achieve this is to buy a Bluetooth Transmitter really!

Poor easy instructions
I and very disappointed with the customer support with this product. I still have not been able to get the headphones working properly because of the lack of instructions. I cannot answer my phone when it rings. Where is your instruction manual?

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
23 July, 2026Verified purchase
Never again Sony
Battery stopped charging after a few months. Neither Sony or Target honor the 12 months warranty. Sony says that Target’s receipt is fake and Target is aware of that Sony does this a lot of the time and says that’s why they offer the extended warranty but in the end neither is trying to fix it. Bottom line is expensive headphones worthless after a few months.

Sony is terrible
The hinge broke within 6 months of normal use (apparently a common issue) and Sony refused to cover it under warranty.

Defective unit and painful replacement process
Sound quality and noise cancellation are excellent, but my unit developed a strange issue, faint background audio bleeding through even when nothing was playing, with no clear cause after multiple troubleshooting steps and a firmware update. Sony support confirmed it needed a replacement, but the process was a hassle: I had to purchase a shipping label myself, print it out, and drop the package off in person. Now I'm looking at roughly two more weeks without headphones before a replacement arrives. For a premium-priced product, I expected either better quality control or a smoother, more customer-friendly replacement process.
1 reply from Sony North America Customer Support team - 12 days ago
Hello there, Thank you for considering Sony products. We are sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with your WH-1000XM5 headphones, especially the faint background audio bleeding through despite your efforts with troubleshooting and the firmware update. We understand how frustrating the replacement process must have been, including the need to purchase and print a shipping label and arrange the drop-off yourself. We recognize that being without your headphones for an extended period adds to the inconvenience. This situation does not reflect the high standards we aim to uphold, and we truly appreciate you sharing these concerns. We will pass your feedback on to the appropriate Sony team as we continue to work on improving both our products and service experience. Best regards, -Fred

Posh headphones, designed for big blokes
I really wanted to love these, in fact I ordered, reordered, and returned two different colourways. In the end I returned them because a) they are far to large for my head, even on the smallest setting and b) aesthetically the colourways are very ''cold" and don't suit my warm colouring, and c) the touch controls are on the right hand side only, making it awkward to use whilst doing right handed activites. The shape of the earphones meant that the lowest point would sit right on my jawline. I consider myself to have a fairly big round head (!) but it feels like these were really designed for men, without much thought for smaller women's bodies. The aesthetic point isn't something I would normally worry about too much, however for the price and prestige of these headphones I think you really have to love them to justify the cost. In the end I've opted for a pair of Anker noise cancelling headphones which share a lot of the same features, have a much warmer tone that suits my colouring, and most importantly - fit my head. They're nowhere near as well designed or high quality as these Sony ones but having them not sit on my jaw is more important than the sound quality at this stage for me. Sony - make a smaller pair, with round ear pads, in warm colours, and maybe I'll reconsider.

Do Not Buy Sony
I received these headphones about 6 months ago as a gift. I absolutely loved everything about them until the hinge broke and I was then told to go pay money to fix it. It seems everywhere I look this is considered a known issue and that Sony is deciding to just ignore everyone it is happening to. This has been about the worst possible product experience I have ever had and I plan to continually tell people to avoid Sony products because of it. Quite the wild move to ruin your reputation as a company over not owning up to poorly made plastic.
1 reply from Sony North America Customer Support team - 1 month ago
Thank you for the detailed feedback! We are so glad to hear you absolutely loved everything about the sound and experience at first, but we are incredibly sorry about that broken hinge. We want our headphones to be as durable as they are smart, so we are definitely passing your notes about the hinge structure straight to our engineering team to look into for future design tweaks. Since our limited warranty only covers internal factory defects and doesn't cover physical damage to the exterior structure, we unfortunately aren't able to offer a different support outcome on the repair costs. We really appreciate you sharing your experience so we can keep improving our build quality moving forward. Thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Poor build breaks super easy.
I bought this and as ANC headphones they are great. What's not great is the same hinge issue that has plagued this series. Hinge broke within a couple of months of purchase. Not even do to poor handling or over filding. These headphones sat on my head or desk untill they just snapped. Terrible build quality for the price. Made me not ever want to buy the product line again.

Poor quality and no customer support
I bought a second pair in less than a year because the original pair broke. Thought my 18 year old daughter may have been rough with them. Second pair broke within 6 months even with extended warranty no assistance. Although the sound and noise canceling is awesome I do not recommend buying Sony headphones they are expensive for the quality and no help other than charging for repairs on a common issue from what I see online.

Same good features
Replaced one that had been broken buy someone sitting on it and already knew it to be a great product! Would have loved the XX but my budget can’t stretch to it so happy to remain with an updated one of the same model.

Well Worth It
I bought these headphones five years ago and they are unparalleled in quality and design. The sound quality is rich and true. The app is awesome. Well worth the money. The noise cancelling and battery life is remarkable especially on long flights.

Another failed hinge point
I had great hope in this redesigned headset. Every high-end Siny headset I have purchased failed at the hinge point. My experience with this redesigned hinge point was very sad, as this hinge also broke. When they break they become unwearable. I really don't want to continue buying high-end products from Sony only to have them keep failing. I an done with Sony. Grrrrrrr.
