The Sony WH-1000XM5 hit the local market on 14 June and I've been keeping an eye out for a great deal, after I picked up the previous generation WH-1000XM4 for only $351 shortly after its release, in 2020 (thanks Ozbargain - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/558941).

Whilst not as epic as that deal, I worked out that with Cash Rewards' 10% cashback offer on Sony Store Australia Online purchases (EDIT - seems that Sony don't include the GST within the cashback calculation), it brings the price down to $498.09 (once you receive the cashback in your Cash Rewards account).

The deal becomes much more attractive if you have an American Express issued credit card as once you log in to your Amex portal and enrol in the offer, you will receive $75 credit back to your Amex, upon spending $500 or more. This is a targeted offer but whenever someone posts these offers on Ebay, my Amex always seems to have them as an offer I can 'save to card'. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/699629

After the receiving the $75 cashback to your Amex, you've picked up the awesome new WH-1000XM5 for only $423.09 delivered. The $75 cashback from Amex expires tomorrow so be quick.

Cheers.

    The headband issue you describe as you know, was a very common issue for the 1st gen. The 2nd gen mostly fixed it (although there were few reports that it occurred) and then it's basically unheard of from 3rd gen onwards.

  • HangryCakeStore on 18/06/2022 - 22:01

    Is there a new trend of buying 500+ headphones now, no wonder everyone can’t save for a house

      I can’t hear you… probably as a result of the incredible noise-cancelling performance of modern headphone magic

  • gram on 18/06/2022 - 23:22

    Bose 700 has been pissing me off lately with stuttering connection, annoying voice when turned on and inability to turn noise cancelling fully off unless you go into the app every time.

    Pulled the trigger on these by stacking all thanks OP.

    • tharlow on 18/06/2022 - 23:31

      To each their own… I quite like the annoying voice

        I haven't renamed my desktop yet, everytime sounds like this:

        "Noise cancellation… off… Battery life… XXXhours… Connecting to… D.. E.. S.. K.. T.. O.. P.. VRU103… Connected to… D.. E.. S.. K.. T.. O.. P.. VRU103 and.. gram's phone"

        Every letter is pronounced individually - the whole sequence takes like 20 seconds. Let me listen to my music already damnit!!!

          Go into the Bose Music app. Select your headphones. Settings cog. Under the Preferences heading, Voice Prompts. Turn the Voice Prompts slider off

          • gram on 19/06/2022 - 00:07

            @tharlow: Legend did not know this at all

            Welp - I won't have to be dealing with it anymore anyway with this on the way haha

            • onlinepred on 19/06/2022 - 00:14

              @gram: You will find the sound very different with the xm5, way less bass.

              • tharlow on 19/06/2022 - 00:34

                @onlinepred: I’m a bass junkie

                • onlinepred on 19/06/2022 - 01:16

                  @tharlow: Xm3/4 have more bass, but it’s pretty muddy rather than accurate and punchy. I do love bass too, love the mw60 m&d 😍

  • dammit on 19/06/2022 - 08:38

    Will these work well with iPhone and making calls etc while walking thru the city sound ok? Seriously considering pulling the trigger on them.

    Can you return them at Sony store if they are uncomfortable/don’t suit you or it’s a buyer beware thing?

    • dammit on 19/06/2022 - 16:24
      +1

      Update: I tried these at JB Hifi Miranda (they have them on display), for larger head/larger ears - they are way better comfort to fit me than the XM4 which was right next to it. But for anyone already having the XM4 the feedback doesn't seem groundbreaking to warrant upgrading.

      I also investigated that you can't seem to return these to Sony for a no questions ask/comfort issue etc - only for a faulty issue….so that's a bit of a shame. But, for the price - I bit the bullet and bought - thanks OP

    Why did Sony have to make these ugly? These look like Chinese knock-offs of XM3s and XM4s

    • tharlow on 19/06/2022 - 17:59

      Due to critical supply chain issues, they took this extraordinary step to reduce their popularity from an insane level down to an extreme level, to make the backlog more manageable

      • onlinepred on 20/06/2022 - 16:32

        Yep, they would sell almost 1/100th the amount of headphones compared to apple. Need to sell less.

  • ripsnorta on 20/06/2022 - 09:57

    I ordered these on Saturday but I just got an email saying "unfortunately we're unable to process your order at this time" :(

      which colour did you order?

    • akyeeeahdude on 20/06/2022 - 13:17

      Hmm something is up then - both colours are available/in stock according to the website and state order before 8am for next business day shipping.

      • dammit on 20/06/2022 - 13:36

        I got the email “ We're currently processing your order so keep an eye out for an email or SMS from us updating your order status.” but all appears normal. Haven’t had a dispatched email.

        • akyeeeahdude on 20/06/2022 - 17:08

          Yeah same - my order on the Online Portal shows as 'Processing'.

            @akyeeeahdude: So much for delivery despatched for next business day if ordered before 8am!

            • dammit on 21/06/2022 - 09:35

              @dammit: Mine has been dispatched now and says delivery 12pm today

              • akyeeeahdude on 21/06/2022 - 10:19

                @dammit: Lucky. I ordered mine before posting this deal (assume you ordered yours after you saw the deal I posted) and mine still shows as processing :(

                  • akyeeeahdude on 21/06/2022 - 16:43

                    @ripsnorta: Damn man - that's rough. My order updated to sent this afternoon. Hopefully you can sort it out with Sony.

        • dammit on 22/06/2022 - 12:39

          Mine now only says "In Transit: Load Pallet; loaded onto pallet/cage" - talk about slow delivery - it only has to come 50km in Sydney..

          • akyeeeahdude on 22/06/2022 - 23:43

            @dammit: Finally got mine this afternoon. Very happy and it seems that this design is more suitable for larger heads (hopefully no more headaches!).

      • ripsnorta on 21/06/2022 - 12:19

        So I rang Sony and they told me that they tried to take the payment but there was a problem with my credit card. I know this is BS because the payment to Sony is showing on my credit card and I know there is nothing wrong with it. They wanted me to put through a new order, but the Amex deal has expired so that isn't going to happen.

    Anyone have problems with not being able to force ANC into its strongest mode? Seems like they removed this feature and the adaptive ANC isnt very good..

  • kc7 on 23/06/2022 - 03:15

    I ordered mine on Monday (20/6) using The Good Guys' 15% shopback offer.
    No option for C&C, $8 delivery only, but I received them yesterday afternoon (22/6).
    Used PayPal Pay in 4 - which gets me a store credit worth $120.

    Total cost: (549 + 8) - 75 (shopback) - 120 (TGG credit) = $362

    Honestly, first pair of over-ear for me and not blown away by it.. yet? Contemplating getting Sony 710 for $150 instead.

    • Legend K on 21/07/2022 - 20:16

      did you get the $120 credit at last?

      • kc7 on 25/07/2022 - 04:08

        Hey, I haven't received any credit yet. However, as per comments here and here you can contact them and hopefully get additional bonus credit.

  • lufee on 23/06/2022 - 06:56

    Anyone have their cashback tracked from CR yet?
    Placed order last Sunday night but nothing yet.
    I always use their app which tracked every order (9 of them) from Myer and Adidas on the same day.

    • dammit on 23/06/2022 - 07:42

      Mine tracked within around 4 hrs. Using Cashrewards iOS app.

      • manutd123 on 23/06/2022 - 10:09

        I always have issue on Cashrewards not tracking with Sony. On iOS app updated with latest version. Most likely they will come up with some excuse saying Sony don’t have your transaction at their end and you may not get your cash back. From experience

        • lufee on 23/06/2022 - 10:50

          Ahh.. looks like I might have to lodge missing cashback once time pass. Hope they don't make excuse as it would kill the deal.

          • manutd123 on 24/06/2022 - 19:55

            @lufee: Hence why I decided to cancel my order with Sony because there’s a high chance the CB might not be approved and it breaks the deal…

    • akyeeeahdude on 24/06/2022 - 14:27

      Thank you for posting this - I checked mine and it hasn't tracked either. Purchased via my computer, with the Cashrewards Extension cofnirming activated.

  • Tinkle Ass on 28/06/2022 - 23:24

    Ordered it 3 times through the Sony website and all three of them were unable to be processed and the money returned. Sad I missed out on thee 10% cashback and $20 introductory cashback voucher.
