    Amazing headphones better noise cancellation than 4. I noticed a beeping sound when I first bought it during listening. All you have to do is change the toggle where it switches automatically. The headphones are trying to automatically adjust to ambient and noise canceling. I took that off now what ever I do im in controll of the sound And no beeping.

    The sound quality and comfort are amazing but I wear them for working and sometimes raise my arms and it always hits the touch features and will pause and change the noise cancelling interrupting my music. It’s annoying.

    Now that I’ve tested them in a long car ride, noisy work place and laying in bed relaxing. I can honestly say that i am extremely happy with these. The noise cancellation is amazing. The sound quality is clear and not over bass heavy. Has a great case and comes with all needed accessories.

      Hi JoelB, thanks for sharing your wonderful experience that truly highlights the Sony - WH1000XM5 headphones' capabilities! The industry-leading noise cancellation is a crucial feature powered by two processors and eight microphones, working together to significantly reduce ambient sound across all frequencies. This remarkable noise suppression creates an unparalleled quiet environment, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the magnificent sound quality of the XM5s.

    These headphone sound amazing, have great noise cancelling, and are extremely comfortable. I’ve spent entire workdays with then on and never felt like I needed to take them off. Unfortunately, the weak hinge snapped on me out of nowhere and the headphones have become unusable. Apparently, this is an incredibly common issue with these headphones that Sony refuses to acknowledge. I wanted to love these headphones, but its not worth the money for less than two years of usage. Sony needs to fix this build issue on their next headphones and acknowledge the mistake on the XM5s.

    They are a true upgrade from the XM4s in every way; though the question remains of how significant of an upgrade? The sound quality and isolation is amazing. Not quite at the Airpod Max level - but impressive nonetheless! The touch controls on the right ear up by itself makes these an intriguing option to consider when looking for a high quality, excellent sounding pair of headphones! I’m glad to have received these over the holidays!
