Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones

Venho avaliar o produto, depois de um certo tempo de uso, comprei o mesmo, para estudos, ouvir musicas diariamente e principalmente pelo cancelamento de ruídos. Moro em um local onde as pessoas tem cachorros e usam eles, para alarme, campainha, para cuidar da vida dos vizinhos, resumindo eles latem 24 horas por dia, e como só consigo me concentrar em extremo silencio, ou escutando sons branco, o Fone SALVOU A MINHA VIDA ACADÊMICA e minha saúde mental kkk.
Quando a musica, está ligada, não consigo escutar nada ao meu redor, (estando dentro ou fora de casa) quando a musica esta desligada ouve-se o Som bem ao longe.
O fone é lindo, é extremamente leve, confortável, as vezes passo 10 horas seguidas com ele e as vezes esqueço que estou de fone, ele tem muitos recursos para personalizar o Fone conforme suas necessidades diárias.
Quanto potência do Som, eu achei excelente, para as minhas necessidades, existe um modo de personalizar o equalizador conforme o gosto e cada um.
O vendedor é muito atencioso, responde as perguntas rapidamente, o produto chegou uns dias antes do prazo.
Tive outros 2 fones de uma marca famosa (J..) e não chega aos pés deste fone. Quem está desesperado precisando de “silencio” para trabalhar, estudar ou ao menos ficar em casa sem ser atormentados pelos vizinhos kkk ou cachorros dos vizinhos, comprem, não irão se arrepender.

I am almost 65 years old SO, I DO NOT have the ears of a 18 year old. That said, I consider these to be good for these reasons:

A: Exceptional battery life.

B: Call quality that was considered good UNTIL I did a direct comparison to my Blueparrott B450-XT’s – NO WHERE NEAR the quality of the Blue 450’s, BUT the Blues are made specifically for calls in noisey environments. . Blues are in my opionion the defacto standard by which all other ANC phone calls should be judged. My “demo” for people is to run my upright vacuum cleaner whilst on a call. People on the other end cannot hear it AT ALL – REALLY!, I hear them, and they hear me perfectly! TRULY amazing! I did the same test with these and alas they failed miserably in comparison. I expected that. I was told they sound like I am in a room away from the microphone, a bit fishtank like, and muddy. SO, they’ll do in a call but not as a primary phone call device in noise. I heard a sample of the BOSE 700’s and they were terrible, which is what prompted me to get the Sony’s.

C: One unconventional thing they do great at: A Sleep Aid. Yup, they drown out all the extraneous noises like people talking, Air conditioners, fans, Water coolers, hums, etc. ALL gone with nothing playing through them!

I bought them primarily for playing on my PS5, and watching TV late at night. They do both quite well.

D: Amazingly, my ears do not sweat much in these even after prolonged use. I’ve ordered those Dekoni Suede Earpads for them as well just for added comfort.

(5/16/23 – Returned The earpads: they claim they are suede when in fact they are 2/3 suede. The inner part inside the cup is something else, not leather so NOT durable. Considering this, $49 seems FAR too expensive.)

E: They are long-term comfortable unless you have ears like a B-52 in which case you will probably be stuffing bits.

As for music, I find them to be more flat without pronounced highs or bass – which I prefer. The EQ on the app is a nice feature. The ANC works very well listening to music and will be adequate to the task in both quiet and noisey settings. Again, I remind you, I’m not 18. 😉

Pricewise, they ARE a bit expensive but the build quality seems better than most.

If you have the time, I would HIGHLY recommend you test several brands and models at a store simply because sound quality is subjective and EVERYONE has their preference.
UPDATE: 5/23/23 – Returning (REPLACING) Headphones – Why? They started acting “Funky”. By that, I mean that if you turn them off, they will not turn on unless you do not hit any buttons for about 15 sec. NOT normal. ALSO, they started to exhibit Connection issues that were NOT there initially. I STILL, at this point consider them excelllent. Now, if the NEW pair goes weird, THEN I would have to re-evaluate.
UPDATE 6-3-23: New pair are working as they should no connection issues or on/off bttun problems.
UPDATE 2-16-24: Still working perfectly and I use them nearly every night to sleep.

These sound great both for music and phone calls. Phone call wise they’re at least on par with AirPod Pros, being reported by the other person in the call sometimes slightly better or worse.

The battery lasts a surprisingly long time, seems to have a low self discharge rate, and charges quickly.
While fairly comfortable and easily adjustable, I notice the thin band tends to create a bit of a pressure point during extended listening such as on an airplane. It’s best to move the band around occasionally.
The case is nice and fits in my backpack well without any big bulges.

They do seem a little fragile and find myself treating them gently, but really they have held up well so far.

The app is mediocre, and sometimes doesn’t connect to the headphones. This can be annoying when I need to switch between devices such as my PC and my phone. However this could be an Apple thing, we all know how Apple doesn’t play well with third party devices.

They’re not the easiest to use headphones and I wouldn’t recommend them for the technologically challenged. Notably the double tap doesn’t always register. Also there could be better differentiation for left and right other than just having the buttons on the left.

The noise cancelling, audio quality, immaculate. Comfort, to die for. Build quality, slightly concerned, they are sooo light, they feel like they are going to break everytime I use them. The arm extension is where I get the weak point is. I will be extra careful with these to make sure they last. Get covers for the pads, as they are NOT easy to clean and get nasty right away, and start to stink fast. Not great for working out, high humidity is not good for them. Don’t use in the rain, ever. Sony’s app, is INSANE, you can set up sooo many features it’s WILD. Although their 360 reality audio is not worth it, because only two streaming services can even ustalize it and I don’t use those. Hopefully they can garner more support for it. If Spotify used it I would to, but they don’t. Skip the extra costs. Not worth it.
Update, battery life is soo good that my phone died 3x’s before I had to charge them.
