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

I was never a fan of wireless headphones. I always forget to charge them, but thats not an issue with these. They have a VERY long battery life. Ive been using mine for 5-6 months so far, and the battery life does not disappoint. I charge mine about once a week, and I use them quite often. Almost every day for several hours! Theyre definitely friendly for those of you who forget to charge your devices frequently enough. Sound wise, theyre comparable to most Sony products. A little bass heavy, but not overtly so. The mids are eh, but the highs are good. If youre an audiophile, maybe these arent for you. But for the average listener, youll love these. They sound crisp and clear, and the volume is perfect. Noise canceling wise, these are great for traveling and blocking out noise from noisy neighbors. Car rides are nearly completely silent. If you listen to music, you wont be able to hear any background noise. The first time I put these on and turned them on, I almost cried. Silence was something Id really never got to experience, and these really delivered that. If youre autistic, these are a god-send. These are not great for blocking out dental equipment noises. Thats the reason I purchased these, and admittedly that was my own ignorance of how noise canceling worked, and the frequencies that would not be able to be canceled. But I loved these headphones so much I kept them. I think that says something about how incredible these are. Another feature I think thats worth mentioning is the ability to allow ambient noises in while listening to music. I can listen to music while having conversations with others, and it just harmonizes both sounds perfectly. I also love that theres a setting that you can allow voices in while keeping background ambience out. Over all, these are a solid set of headphones. Id recommend to anyone looking for a good noise canceling headphone, or just a solid pair of headphones period.

Amazing sound quality and comfort. The app is also great as it allows you to fully customize and control the sound to best fit your sound preference.

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

i was on the fence about buying these; but they’re amazing and worth the price. only con is not being able to fold them for travel; other than that the sound is amazing

These are the best. They are also very light weight, soft, easy to use and flexible. There is a reason they are rated the top headphones.

This review is for the person that wants loud with bass music. It’s just not there.. however the headphone are great. It’s just not my style.

Likes = design, comfort, sound quality and the versatile app Dislikes = tried using it for a work from home gig that i have which is 90% making calls and talking to people. However, connection quality is bad. Customers frequently say that my voice connection goes in and out. This doesn’t occur with calls on my cellphone but definitely occurs in calls I make through my work laptop. Its a bit disappointing seeing that I bought these earphones because they boast superior voice call quality using several microphones and background noise cancelling compared to other earphones…

The sound quality is considerably better than previous WH-1000XM4, no joke. I purchased XM5 without much expectations but it turns out the sound quality is far, I mean far, better than XM4. For some reasons, it wasnt noticeable difference when its paired with my PC but when its paired with my Galaxy S23+, it produces unbelievably crisp sound with rich low to high fq enhancement, especially when the sound source is high fidelity and high bit rate. Maybe its some sort of codec issue, I dont know but I am unexpectedly surprised. The fit is also more comfortable if you have wide skull or large ears. I havent weighted this one but it feels lighter than XM4. I have Jabra, Arctis Pro and many other top tier headsets but so far this is the best sound headsets by far.

Great headphones overall they were very light but im my honest opinion I like better the AirPods Max because they sound more loud and the spacial audio and I feel the the max are more crisp in sound than the xm5. very sand that I have to return it because I really was looking forward to keep it

These headphones are the best investment I’ve ever made. The noise cancellation is so good that I forget about my surroundings. And battery life last so long and I used them daily.
