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

I’ve been using Sony noise canceling headphones for a couple of years, going from XM3 to XM5. The noise cancelling quality is clearly better than Apple and Bose. My XM3 lasted 3 years of almost daily use. But the construction of XM5 looks so fragile that I was concerned from the start. And it broke after just a few months. The part over my right ear broke off from the main thing.

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.

Theyre too bulky. The case is huge, and the headphones dont fold in, so they take up lots of room. I liked these headphones a lot, but within the first month of use the right ear started playing little crackly sounds that were louder than the music. Very annoying. The SONY app and bluetooth do not connect as easily as my airpods, which I also found annoying. Seamless pairing is important for me, and these do not match up. The apps interface is outdated and difficult to navigate as well. Im disappointed, because I wanted to like these because theyre better than AirPod Maxes. Ordering Beats instead.

Had previously been a die hard Bose customer but Sony has taken the game to a higher level. The new XM5 headphones are superb

I got this looking for a replacement for my AirPod Pros -- I would use them for work calls and for listening. My airpods were great for comfort,, but terrible for a full day of work, and the mic quality was not great for call applications that I use. So I did some research between these headphones and other over-ear headphones like AirPod Maxes, Bose QC. I was mainly deciding between these and the AirPods since I use entirely Apple devices and went with the Sonys for price and supposedly good comfort. So here are my pros/cons after about 3 months with these: Pros: - I have a huge head and I generally have stayed away from over ear headphones for long periods of listening. These are inarguably the most comfortable headphones I have ever used. I am able to last a full 8 hour office job wearing these without too much sweat or heat, and the pressure is perfect. No headaches from wearing them all day, and its overall been absolutely perfect. In comparison to the AirPods maxes (that I used for a day from my partner) that gave me an incredibly painful headache from the pressure after an hour of use. - Battery life / charging is amazing. 30 hours may be the industry standard but whenever Im low, I just give it a charge for five minutes and Im basically good for the next few hours. Cons: - I listen to a variety of music from hip hop and mostly electronic music. For songs with more emphasis on acoustics and vocals, the headphones are pretty good. However for my electronic library it leaves a bit to be desired. The bass and sometimes mids feel very muddy, and no amount of EQ I use can get it to where I like for all my music. This is where AirPods Maxes shine out. They may be 200$ more but they are inarguably better sounding with their adaptive EQ. - Not really at any fault of Sonys, but if you use Apple products you cant use the LDAC codec at all. You are missing out on a better sound quality on Apple, and can only really use LDAC with Android.

I love the Sony WF-1000xm4 so I was excited for the updated version. They sound great but I think the noise cancellation option is better on the xm4.

I really like the headphones but the band is a bit big (trust me my heads not small) so anytime I’m doing a work out on my back or stomach down they fall off and it get annoying. In addition to this any work outs that your arms go above your head will trigger the touch feature and skip your tracks

damn these are fire, got them during the prime member day on the 11-12th for about $50 cheaper definitely worth every penny.

I love the feature that allows me to put my hand on one headphone ear and hear my surroundings.

Very happy with these headphones. Lots of features and Great sound. Well worth the price for them.
