Sony's WH1000XM5 at this Costco price stands out as a lightweight, very comfortable noise cancelling headphone with strong sound, especially after EQ tweaks, and excellent battery life for flights, Zoom calls, and daily use. The Costco SA bundle includes a soft case or cloth bag rather than the hard case sold elsewhere, and the app can help confirm warehouse stock when signage is stale. The main concern is durability, especially the hinge, with repeated reports of breakage and a few workarounds like reinforcement kits. It is a strong value if portability and ANC matter more than ruggedness.

Common Questions (5)

  • The hinge is a recurring weak point, and some units have broken after months of use or even inside the unopened package. Others report years of daily use without issues, so careful handling and a hinge reinforcement kit are common ways to reduce the risk.

  • Compared with the Bose 700, the XM5 is often described as a lateral move or a worthwhile upgrade depending on what you value; the Bose 700 is also praised for stronger build quality. Compared with the XM4, the XM5 is reported to have better ANC, clearer sound, and a wider soundstage, though some prefer the XM4 for reliability and foldability.

  • Use the Costco app's Warehouse feature to check local stock, because shelf signage may lag behind the actual in-warehouse price. If the item shows in stock but is not on the sales floor, a cashier can ring up the item number and staff may pull it from the stock room.

  • The Costco WH1000XM5/SA version comes with a soft cloth case, not the hard carrying case included with some other retailers' versions. The main difference from the standard model is the case, which also makes the Costco package more portable but less protective.

  • No, the XM5 does not fold like earlier Sony XM models. That makes the included soft case less convenient if you need compact storage in a full carry-on.

Soundguys or some similar sounding website name did a poll, and HALF of 2000 responders said there pair had broken. The Costco.com reviews are pretty bad as well

I would wait for the Bose Quietcomfort to go back to $199 at Costco and get those instead. The additional $50 would be well worth the peace of mind, and I'm pretty sure it has better ANC as well. I very much like my pair due to the ANC (but admittedly have not personally compared, but reviews consistently vote them as top tier ANC).

Factor in the cost of $40 hinge reinforcement kit to fix a known defect for these headphones. Anyone know if these are a significant upgrade to the XM4?
Why bother, purchase at Costco and return for a new set if the hinges break

No brainer. Was debating between these or the Sennheiser Momentum 4. Out of the box the sound on these is not great, but there are EQ settings you can find online that make them miles better. ANC is world class, the only issue is the build quality but I mainly listen in my home anyways.

These Costco ones come with cloth bags to store them and not a hard case when you buy at Best Buy or other retailers. Breakage is easy.
