Sony WH-1000XM5 review

23 October 2022
Sony's flagship wireless headphones get put through the wringer.

Sort by:

I got myself a pair of jabra elite 85h back in 2019, wanted the 1000xm3 at the time but was just out my reach. Honestly the reviewer clearly doesn't understand your phone has a built in EQ that you can adjust to your liking with generally the headphones having its own EQ aswell (I adjusted both to get a warmer open tone on mine with clear treble and vocals, bit more bass with slightly deeper frequency response too but not overpowering like beats). I only get AAC and SBC codecs but with ANC on i get about 38-40 hours of play back, about 42-43 without and 5 mins charge gives like 5 hours I think I got but could be wrong (I generally go a week or 2 without charging them and I use mine every single day) .

    For real? Lol. This is too much. Feels like I'm reading less than $100 headset review. Get yourself together bro. People will leave you if you keep such biased review to non-china product.

      For some reason the Audio observation sounds off to me. It sounds even better than Sennheisers and Apple's. And other reputable review sites like PC Mag and What HiFi say the same. Same thing with Techtubers.

        Review is late by 5 months while other websites/TechTubers have reviewed it extensively.🙄
