Better than promised!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect product in my opinion, I had an older version from 6 years ago that worked perfectly well, but a friend needed a pair to work in quiet so I gifted them to her. These WH1000XM5's are simply a phenom! They perform as promised and allow me to get rid of the sound from the a/c unit in my rental home. Forget about the music, just LISTEN and you will fall in love this Sony headset.

Great for the gym
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are pretty loud and comfortable but the only downside is the fact that one little touch on the sides and it pauses or thinks your trying to talk to siri. Other than that I absolutely love them. Perfect noise canceling.

Great Active Noise-Canceling.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, I was in between these and the airpods Max. I like the look and feel of these better. Was worth sacrificing some of the apple features. I use these for teams calls, listening to music and while traveling. The noise canceling is top tier.

Top notch head phones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these 2 years ago. These are the best headphones I've ever owned. I use them 24-7, from the office to the gym and around the house. They've fallen off my head and hit the ground numerous times. And still, keep on ticking. Unparalleled sound quality. With the best noise canceling you'll ever hear.
