    Absolutely amazing sound and noise reduction. Feature of being able to tap on the earpiece when someone is talking to you so you can hear them is super!

    Head phones are clear. The emphasis is on vocals. If you are looking a pair of anc's that provide top notch experience even at a low volume. These are the one.

      Perfect! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality and noise canceling function 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. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Absolutely worth the price. ANC on these can’t be matched by a competitor. The app is definitely useful and makes it easy to adjust frequencies to make your experience that much more comfortable.

    Well the app allows a seemless transition between the different listening modes. They are practicla and fairly simple to use. However I love that they are light weight and you can barely feel that they are on your head.
