    Sound quality is great and so is the noise canceling feature. Can get a little uncomfortable wearing it for too many hours consistently but mostly very comfortable if adjusted well to fit head.

    I use these headphones when I am on my very loud zero turn mower and they block out the noise and allow me to listen to my favorite tunes while I'm mowing. My wife can get ahold of me anytime easily by just calling my cell phone which is connected to the headphones by bluetooth.

    These headphones sound amazing. More natural true to life sounding instruments than the AirPods Max - no comparison in that regard. Cello, violin, piano, harp, brass all sound detailed, nuanced and realistic like you could reach out and touch the instrument. Only grievance I have is that the inner ear cups are a bit shallow so even my small ears touch the inner surface.

      Hi Loked,

      It is fantastic to know that you would recommend the WH-1000XM5 to others! We truly appreciate you sharing your positive experience with the community.

      We’ve worked hard to ensure these headphones set a high standard for both silence and sound. By utilizing our Integrated Processor V1 and HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1, the XM5s can block out more high and mid-frequency sounds than ever before—whether you're in a noisy office or on a busy flight. Additionally, the Auto NC Optimizer automatically adjusts the noise canceling based on your wearing conditions and environment, ensuring you always have the most immersive listening experience possible without having to lift a finger.

      Thank you for trusting Sony.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US
