    Ive got a pair of Bose noise canceling phones (QC 35) and QC earbuds that i thought were as good as it gets. Then i get a pair of these Sony phones. Hands down the best yet.

    I had a much older pair of Sony headphones that sounded really great. These blow them away. The noise reduction is awesome. I can mow my lawn and never hear the mower running. Also while using it talking on my phone it does fantastic! Great investment for headphones.

      You made the right choice, Larry56! We're glad that you are impressed with the noise cancelling feature of the headphones.

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. Also, the new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Craig Sony_US

    Good improvement in terms of the quality of music it delivers, what I will say that most people will see as a negative is the fact the holding case is bigger due to the headphones not being able to fold closed. At times it did bother me but as I normally have them out due to how much I use them it doesn’t cause much of an issue for me.

    My wife wanted some noise cancelling headphones so when we took a trip she could read her books without listening to my music loud. I got her these and she plays classical music and reads in peace. She said these headphones are the best. Blocks out my music, and the music she plays sounds so good.

    These are very very good. I had the M4 for a while and got water into them so they stopped working. Then I got the Beats Studio 3 I must tell you, those are nothing compared to the Sonys. The noise cancellation feature should be the best in the market in my opinion.

    Bought for my daughter as she wanted something to use in her dorm to not disturb her roommate while she watched TV or watched any video. She is very particular about the fit and knew she wanted over the ear head phones. She has absolutely loved them
