Headphones for Music
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought headphones because of air travel. Since my next flight is scheduled for February 7, 2023 I am not able to determine if it works for my needs. I do use it when taking walks and it works just fine.

Posted .Hi JenniferW,
Thank you for the review! If you use the headset at a place where it is restricted to use Bluetooth devices such as on an airplane, you can use the headset as noise canceling headphones while the headset is connected to a device via the supplied headphone cable and the headset is turned on.
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!

ANC isnt great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are ok, the sound quality is good but the noise canceling isn't good at all. Noy sure why but I believe it has to do with the adaptive ANC. No way to change this like the previous models. Little disappointed. Also after a while it started randomly disconnecting. I ended up returning them, didn't feel worth $400

Great for airplanes
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These do a fantastic job of cancelling all of the noise while flying. Sound quality is pretty good. The touch controls work great and had no problems with using Siri. Only complaint is the matte finish shows every fingerprint.
