    Like this better than the Airpods Max. Not as seamless as apples headphones for the apple ecosystem, But fit and comfortability wise I would definitely choose this over the other. ANC feature is nice and carrying case is really nice.

      Hi olaniso, We're delighted to hear that you like the fit, comfortability, and noise canceling function. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thanks for choosing Sony. Erin Sony_US

    I had the previous model before these and I loved them and when I heard they released a new version I was excited. Long story short the build quality isn't as good but the sound and noise cancelation is beter than ever. Overall I definitely recommend.

    Very comfortable. I bought these because I have severe insomnia due to Lyme disease. I use these to fall back asleep while listening to binaural beats or the Abide app. I fall asleep with them on all the time. I have never owned expensive headphones but these are extremely comfortable. They also silence my husband’s snoring.

    Love them, I mainly wear them when I’m at school, loving from class to class and sitting down to work on some homework or reading. The ANC helps me to focus even when not listening to music. Highly recommend

    These headphones are amazing, I only ever spent under $30 for headphones before so these were a total upgrade and well worth the price. I use these when i’m in the backseat of the car with my family and it cancels out all the noise and radio their playing

    Excellent headphones, the noise cancellation is second to none and it allows you to feel like you are transported to another world. The headphones were sunk in water by accident and still got no damage, would recommend.

    Bought for my spouse as a gift and he really likes them. They seem a little delicate around the part where the headband attaches to the ear pieces, but he's used them daily for about a year now and they seem to have held up. He uses them for music, his phone, and work calls.
