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

I bought these initially for air travel as I no longer appreciate the loud “white” noise of the cabin. I finally was able to sleep going to Europe. I bought these “Used, Like New” for about 1/2 price and it was a bargain! They included everything, even the packaging that looked new. Oh! I also wore these in the hotel when I slept and they were comfy. Basically, I bought these for one purpose, but ended up using them more often than what I intended.

I have been wearing these headphones for 10-12 hours a day for the past week or so, and theyre exactly what I needed. Extremely comfortable, lightweight, and great sound. The noise cancellation is excellent, and the transparency mode is equally as good. I could almost forget Im wearing the headset because of the great transparency mode, but my only gripe is that the headset almost decides for you that it wants to turn on noise cancelling, or mute the transparency due to loud sounds. I dont really care for that, but otherwise, its great. If youve got 400 bucks to spend on headphones.. cant go wrong here.

Just get a cheaper version or wait for this to reduce in price. Very much not worth the price

Let me just start off by saying these are SO GOOD! The quality, the look, the sound ARE SO GOOD! They are so sleek!! if someone were to blindfold me and put these on my head, I would really think they were a Apple product, from the sound quality and features. All of my personal devices are Apple products, and I decided to go out of the box for these kind of headphones and definitely made the right choice. I tried the Apple ones, but in my opinion, these were lighter and more comfortable with the same quality. And these are definitely at a bit lower price point. 11/10 recommend.

I have the WH-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM4. The noise cancellation is far, far better in the M5 version. I miss the voice prompts of the M4. Both sound similar. I gave away the M4s.

I would assume that a lot of people would like these headphones but I do like some bass and the mx4s do much better in that aspect. In terms of professional use, these come closer to the Airpods Max able to deliver excellent noise cancelling with passable transparency mode. Since I do have the Airpods max however, I didnt need another pair of headphones for professional use.

I travel often, and Sonys headphones are great for dealing with airports and airplanes. The XM5s did a near-perfect job silencing crying children on my latest flight, and the kids were inaudible once music was playing. I do wish it had its own Tile-like finder, and (not possible, but one can dream) positional audio for Apple Music and similar.

Truly the best headphones I ever had. Couldnt recommend these more! I had been debating between these and the new Apple AirPods Max and so elated I went with these for multiple reasons (battery life, price, NC, bass, and more).

Not as intuitively easy to use as Bose. Couldn’t really discern much “noise canceling “ functionality

Bought them as a gift for m daughter she loves them doesn’t have to hear me bitching at her !
