    Much improved upgrade over my previous M3s. In choosing between the WH1000XM5s and Apple's AirPod Max, these were the clear winner.

      Hi Daniel,

      Awesome! We're thrilled that you like the noise canceling function and weight of the headphones. 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. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Have been a loyal sony user for many years - it never disappoints me! I've had a XM2 for 6 years which worked so well, but I unfortunately lost it during a trip. Upgraded to XM5 last month and it delivers moreeeeee than expected. Sound is a personal taste but I prefer Sony's profile to Bose and Apple. Definitely recommend :)

    Love these headphones! Best sounding mainstream wireless headphones, few negatives though, the touch sensor panel seems to have a kind of its own!I wear them all day for work all year round so I wish they had less wear fatigue but if you wear them for shorter periods of time they are perfectly comfortable!Otherwise my favorite headphones!

    Omg. I've never purchased such expensive headphones...these were WORTH it. They completely block out sound. I went to a car wash, sat close to the machine tunnel, played music and could not hear the car wash AT ALL. The smart features are super convenient. If they were waterporoof I would never removw them. Super amazing.

    I got these as a Christmas gift for my wife and she has absolutely loved them. She is a musician and records from our home studio quite a bit and these have fantastic headphones for recording or just sure listening casually. Normally she does not care about this kind of thing but she has absolutely been in love with these headphones and will not go back to any others.
