    More character sound than the previous model. It is very light. Good quality of materials. I like more my B&W PX7 S2, but I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this one. Because I am wasn't fun of Sony - WH-1000XM4 and Sony - WH-1000XM3.

      Thank you for your fantastic review, AngelC!

      We are absolutely delighted to hear that you find the WH-1000XM5 headphones to have amazing sound quality.

      It's especially rewarding to know that the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is making such a difference for you, allowing you to listen comfortably and audibly even in very loud scenarios. We engineered the XM5s to deliver that world-class silence and sound quality, and your feedback is a great validation of that effort.

      Thanks again for choosing Sony!

    These are by far the best headphones I have ever bought. After asking around and trying another major competitor I settled on them. The sound quality is as you’d expect from higher end headphones from Sony, very good. I love the deeper end of the sound. I use them when I work outside because I love the noise canceling. It removes at least half the noise from the lawnmower. I was told they wouldn’t work well with my Xbox because the dialogue would be off. That is wrong. I use them every day and never notice any dialogue or other sounds being “off”. It was well worth what I paid.

We designed them to provide a premium listening experience, and it's great to know they're delivering for you, even during outdoor work. It's also great to hear your positive experience using them with your Xbox.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Hi Dorsett,

      Thank you for your 5-star review of your WH-1000XM5! We're so happy to hear that they are making your flights and travels so much better. It's fantastic to know you're enjoying the incredible noise cancellation and that you're able to completely tune out everything around you.
