Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Industry Leading Headphones with Auto Noise Canceling Optimizer, Crystal Clear Hands-Free Calling, and Alexa Voice Control, Silver

I used AirPods for so long and while I still use mine occasionally for this or that, I wouldn’t give up these headphones for anything. We’re these a necessity..no. But has my life gotten better since getting them? Yes! The noise cancellation is amazing and the sound quality is great! And in the app you can customize the audio to your liking and your surroundings. They are expensive, but how can they not be. They are great. If your looking to treat yourself, this is a good option.

I love these and they were worth every penny. Amazing sound quality, easy to turn on/off the noise cancellation. Very pleased with purchase!!

I love everything about these headphones. From the sleek look, to how lightweight they are, to the case the durable case included with the purchase. The sound quality is amazing, it tunes out my tv even when I’m right next to it. There’s the noise canceling, ambient noise, and no cancellation feature and they all work great and as intended. One feature I didn’t know about when I bought these is when you take them off, the music automatically pauses for you. It starts playing once it detects the headset back on your ears. When you start talking to someone, the music will pause as well until you’ve finished talking. I’ve used them at a music festival, on a plane, and at home. The only con I could see is if someone is talking right next to you (on the phone or something) you can still hear them, but never bothered me much. 10/10.

I bought these specifically for work to drown out all of the side conversations in my office. I have zero complaints and this was probably my best purchase of 2022. The noise canceling is great and the sound quality is clean. I like that these have adaptive features based on what Im doing or my surroundings, and I can talk to others without taking them off if. I read about seeing fingerprints on these in black so opted for the silver. But I gravitated towards the silver anyways because I tend to prefer neutral muted tones.

I am so impressed and satisfied with this product. They have excellent noise cancellation, great sound quality and they are super light. The app is very useful and easy to use. As a plus, they have oval pads which makes them super comfortable even with multiple piercings and kinda large, I’ve worn them 6 hours straight with no issues. Totally recommend.

These Sony XM5 headphones are a great buy & worth the money. They have good noise cancellation and ambient modes and are comfortable for medium periods of listening. However, Apples AirPods Max has superior Noise cancellation, ambient modes and music reproduction in my experience. Apple AirPods Max are heavy and after 45 minutes become uncomfortable on my large head. I have tested both playing Apple Lossless Music through a DAC and Apple still shines but is over $100 more at $479. The Sony has a better battery life, is lighter and is more comfortable for medium periods of use. I have a big head and even the Sony headphones get uncomfortable after a straight hour of use and cause my ears to get hot. I recently got Technics EAH-A800 headphones for a little less than (@$347) the Sony XM5. The EAH-A800 are better at noise cancellation & ambient modes and have great sound reproduction & best of all I can wear them for hours with no discomfort. If I were buying headphones in the $350 to $400 range I would buy the Technics EAH-800 for better value. Yes Sony does a lot of advertising but the Technics are made by Panasonic and they have a great history in reproducing quality sound.

I loved the sound of these. They felt comfortable for a few hours before I got a headache (I wear glasses so finding headphones that I can wear longer is pretty impossible.) My only complaint which is why I returned them is I have colored hair and the cups absorbed all my hair color and stained. I always get black everything and the one time I got a different color for headphones my hair stains them...not worth $300+ if that happens.

There is no comparison to these headphones. The quality of sound, noise cancelling and Alexa features out performs the rest. Completely satisfied with this purchase.

Bought these for my partner, who adores them for their light weight, comfortable fit, good touch controls, good quality voice pickup for video calls, and excellent noise-cancelling ability. I like them because we can talk - they just palm the right earcup to activate pass-through mode. Or, if we need a longer chat, they can pull off the headphones which automatically pauses the music. This has drastically reduced the number of annoyed looks I get. Win-win! Out of the box, the sound quality on these cans is decent but the headphones are more bass-heavy. The low end sounds a little “muddy”. There is an EQ adjustment in the accompanying Sony app, but after downloading it, quickly uninstalled it because the software demanded a lot of personal information. Wed rather rather live with the just-tolerable sound profile than give up all that information to Sony. One star off, Sony, for being just a bit too greedy and not respecting privacy; the app should come with no strings attached, especially given the cost of these headphones.

I love these. wear the hey fit great. One thing is they can get a little loose if they keep getting adjusted in and out a lot but its barley noticable.
