Pros:
-So far the only over ear headphone I can find that has the least amount of sound leak, even when wearing over a hat and with glasses. For the life of me I could not find a more reasonably priced (and non-wireless) over hear headphone that had the lack of sound leak that I was looking for.
-Sound quality seems good to me.
-Wound up liking the wireless feature, even though that wasn't initially what I wanted when I started looking for headphones
-The app offers some nice extra control
-The tap/swipe controls on the headset itself are intuitive, and there aren't so many that it's confusing
-These can also be used as wired headphones.
-Seems to charge fast, and battery life seems good
-They can connect to two devices
-Fit well, and are lightweight, don't hurt my ears or head to wear for a long time
Cons:
-I kept bumping the outside of the headset because I often like to adjust them or lift them to itch my ears, etc, so I wound up eventually having to turn the tap/swipe feature off. If I was watching youtube, and accidentally bumped the outside of the earcup, then suddenly spotify starts playing while my youtube video is still going. It got too frustrating.
-They feel a bit too flimsy, I'm worried I'm going to drop them or set them down too roughly, or something one day and easily break them. Luckily, I don't really plan to use them out, and only plan to use them at home for now.
-When using wired, I feel like I still have to use up battery by keeping the noise cancelling feature on, because with it off it makes the sound quality too bad.
-When using wired, it can't connect to the app, and bluetooth functionality is turned off.
-When I turn on wireless and connect to the app, it automatically messes with my phone's media and ringer volumes, even if the device it is connecting to first after connecting to the app, is my computer. I keep my phone volumes all the way down 99% of the time, connecting these shoots the volume up, and I have to manually turn down. Have not found any solution in lots of searching.
-Sometimes sound randomly cuts out if I have too many things open that have any audio. If I have a game open, that mutes its own audio when it is in the background, and I am trying to watch youtube, while also having spotify open, but the music paused and not playing...then the sound on youtube won't work. I have to close the game in the background in order to get the sound on youtube to work. I found when playing the game as well, that the sound kept cutting out ever few seconds. It does not do this when listening to spotify, even if I'm playing the game at the same time, and does not do this to other things like youtube if the game is closed. Maybe these are not good for gaming. I mostly listen to music so it's not terrible, but I do like to play games sometimes. They work fine for phone games, and for using wired on Switch.
-I don't know if all colors would be like this, but the black is matte, so spots from oil from fingers show up so easily on it. Before even using them, and after having them just one hour I was already noticing them looking sort of messy from this, and it's a little unappealing lol. I'm not trying to impress anybody, so I don't really care, but looks-wise, it winds up making them look like $30 headphones, instead of nearly $300 headphones.

WH-1000XM5
The Best Noise Canceling Headphones
Two processors control 8 microphones
Specially developed by Sony, the new Integrated Processor V1 unlocks the full potential of our HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1. This unique combination of technology controls 8 microphones to deliver unprecedent noise canceling quality.
The best noise canceling headphones*
From airplane noise to people’s voices, our WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones keep out more high and mid frequency sounds than ever. And with Auto NC Optimizer, noise canceling is automatically optimized based on your wearing conditions and environment.
All day power and quick charging
With up to 30 hours of battery life, you’ll have enough power even for long trips. If you need to charge in a hurry, you can get 3 hours' worth of charge after just 3 minutes with an optional USB-PD compatible AC adapter.
Crystal clear hands-free calling
With Precise Voice Pickup Technology & advanced audio signal processing, the person on the other end of the call will hear your voice clearly, even when you are in noisy situations. Equipped with two beamforming microphones on each earcup, these headphones are calibrated to only pick up your voice.
All day comfort with an elegant design
These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. The stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes it a pleasure to wear.
Multipoint connection
These headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connects to the right one automatically. You’ll also be able to quickly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button.

The hardware is solid, the accessories lack
Generally I've been happy with the purchase. But at $400 freaking dollars the kit is missing a few things I would expect, that would cost Sony a buck or two at most and what resulted in losing a star. First off no charging brick. This has been a going thing in the industry and the justification that it is less ewaste is a cop out IMHO. I had to dig out an old Samsung charger that I don't know if it charges the device at the max rate....this is why having a charger from the manufacturer is better. Also the cable is needlessly short. Again I happened to have one that is about 3" longer. Far easier to plug in. Next no cleaning cloth. This thing attracts smudges like you wouldn't believe. Forget about ear oil. I'm not an overly greasy person. But simple manipulation of the headset leaves fingerprint smudges all over the outside. So I've put a cleaning cloth into the center storage compartment with a charging cable and charging block. I'll probably get some lens cleaner in a small spray bottle to put into the case as well. No clear place to store it so it will have to probably float around with the headset. Short of it: Sony spent a lot of time on the device itself, and the case and accessories were an afterthought. Does this mean you shouldn't buy it? Not really. The noise canceling is really good. The audio is also really good. It is just that things could be better.

Reviewed in Brazil on November 2, 2023
Cancelamento de ruído não funciona perfeitamente pra sons muito agudos, ex: tenho periquitos australianos e com o NC ativado ainda da pra escutar o piado deles, porém se vc colocar uma música de fundo ai desaparece todos os sons ao redor e vc fica isolado.
Qualidade de som nas músicas é excelente, porém tenho um Astro A40 que uso no playstation e prefiro o som do Astro com a MixAmp tanto pra músicas como filmes e séries.
Em relação ao conforto achei confortável, dá pra usar por bastante tempo, porém achei o espaço para orelhas muito raso, as orelhas encostam e é oq faz ter que dar umas pausas, oq por exemplo não ocorre com o Astro A40 que o espaço é bem maior, mais confortável, a orelha não encosta e daria pra ficar o dia inteiro com ele, nesse quesito também gostaria de citar o Anker Life Q30 que era o headphone que usava antes desse, acho o Anker mais confórtável, embora perca no NC e qualidade sonora.
Por fim o investimento foi grande, mais nosso problema é a taxação e o real que não vale nada comparado com o dólar, espero que o headphone dure muito tempo, pois realizei a compra por conta do meu Anker Life Q30 com 1 ano e meio de uso parou de funcionar o Noise Cancel e descascou todo e abriu a parte da espuma, levando em conta que o Anker custa em medio R$ 400 e o Sony R$ 2500 espero que se reflita na durabilidade.
