Noise-Cancelling on another level
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these headphone for my commute into the city, riding the commuter rail and I don’t hear anything but my music. No train bells, no train engine, no conversations happening around me, nothing. My only suggestion using these headphone is that you pay attention to your surroundings because you won’t hear a car beep at you, trust me on that lol

Definitely worth the splurge
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using my headphones for a few months now, and it has been the best purchase that I’ve made this year. I was blown away at the noise-cancelling quality, and love that it has the feature to opt into the noise for a quick convo without taking the headphones off!

Posted .Hi Milow! Awesome upgrade! From airplane noise to people’s voices, our WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones with multiple microphone noise cancelling keep out more high and mid frequency sounds than ever. And with Auto NC Optimizer, noise cancelling is automatically optimised based on your wearing conditions and environment. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl
Left side doesnt NC fully
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are some awesome headphones. The battery, for me, by how i use it, lasts me about 3 days (heavy to light usage) at 10% while typing this. The only downside for me right now is that the left side of the headphones doesn't block sound up to 35%. Whenever I turn on my music to 75% (highest safe hearing limit) and do stuff, i can still slightly hear, the door opening, me vacuuming, car engine running, all with noise canceling on, not ambient sound control on. This is the only reason why i might return these and maybe get the bose 700.

Great sounds but asthetics needs revamping
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the high quality sound, however from reading the reviews it seems as if Sony took away the features that would’ve made it perfect. ie; the easy bluetooth setup & the folding feature foe easy packing. Bluetooth pairing button flimsy. If it works well why downgrade? Was it a cost thing? because its still very expensive. Im tempted to get the earlier model for the convenience.

Best ANC of all headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely great set of headphones. Been enjoying sound quality. However out of the box you will need to play with the eq to get the perfect sound for you. Noise cancellation is really great on this compared to my old bose.
