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

Really good headphones! The only thing I would note is that it is not made for working out. The fit is not tight so if you workout and tend to do a lot of movement, this is not for you. Its also not water proof or water resistant so be careful with sweat as well. Other than that the noise cancelling and the easy access control are all nice

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 compared these to the AirPods Max and I prefer these a lot more. These actually last 30 hours. I like how light these headphones are and how it’s comfortable even using them with glasses. I have had many problems with other headphones because they weren’t comfortable with glasses on but these are so comfortable with glasses

While admittedly not an audiophile by any means, they quality of the sound is really good! I upgraded from a pair of JBL’s to these. They are very comfy on my ears, I have a lot of ear piercings and the headphones do not irritate them. I know it’s risky because they are not rated for being sweat proof but I wear these to the gym everyday with no issue. The only thing I wish was that the noise canceling was better. Maybe it’s the way I wear them and it can be corrected but for the money I was hoping to hear nothing at all. I have the airpods pro and when I wear those there’s absolutely nothing it’s almost uncomfortable. I just wish for the price I could adjust the level of noise canceling if that makes sense.

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.

These really are amazing headphones! They are soft and comfortable, great sound quality, and the noise cancellation is unmatched. I dont use them to take calls but I am okay with that personally.

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.

I bought these with high expectations and did love the sound, but the headband did give me a bit of a headache so ended up returning

Great battery life. Controls via the app have added features that sometimes reduce quality of noise canceling features. Great build/ comfort and overall happy with purchase.

The noise canceling is unbelievable as is the comfort
