Is Sony still the benchmark? Hmm....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A few years ago I would leave an absolutely glowing review for these headphones but... we live in a different reality now. Companies like Edifier and 1MORE have headphones that cost 1/4 of this set's price and perform just as well (and in some cases better). Sony may still have the edge on ANC but if you value sound quality more than noise cancellation there are simply other, more interesting options out there that will save you A LOT of $$$.

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. Thank you for choosing Sony!
