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.

Bought these today in Maplewood Mn. If they break like my last pair I will return as I did with my last pair.

I have an early batch, I literally bought them on launch day and they are completely fine. Worst case scenario Costco has you covered.
There is also a class action lawsuit for them now.

I've traveled with mine a lot and been pretty rough with them and they're still like new. YMMV
no headphones are not. My first pair after 7 months broke and I returned them to costco. There is also a class action suit starting for the hinge issue but i'm not sure how long that will take.

I grabbed mine yesterday for 149.97 in Dallas. I called a few costco locations and could only find at one 45 miles away though. Road trip 🤪. I called and confirmed the stock quantity before going. Great deal. Thanks for the post.

There are some in stock at a Costco near me. But I'm afraid seeing the reviews of it broken in short term.

Showed in stock but was not on the sales floor. Supervisor said to go ahead and have a cashier ring up the item # and they would pull it from the stock room.

Are these worth the upgrade if I'm happy with my Sony Ult Wear headphones that I paid $60 for. Do these sound 3x better?
Where and when did you get Alt's for $60? Thanks

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?
Just gotta point out some facts, the hinge is not a "known defect" it is a weak point at worst. The hinge is strong and only breaks if you are tough with the headphones. I've owned mine since they came out, and it has never broken and never even come close to it. Also, they are a substantial upgrade from the XM4, the noise cancellation is miles above it as well as sound quality.
