    Sony has fallen far from their original quality. I was able to compare these with the Bose and Apple equivalents. Sony came in 2nd after Apple! Why? The sound quality and noise cancellation is good, but not the best.

      Hi AlexisG, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the sound quality and noise canceling feature of WH1000XM5. It's important to acknowledge the aspects of your feedback. The WH-1000XM5 indeed prioritizes sound quality with an option to adjust this via the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. It offers two modes: "Priority on sound quality" and "Priority on stable connection". Although the WH-1000XM5 is designed to deliver high-quality sound and effective noise cancellation, individual preferences and experiences with audio quality can vary, leading to different comparisons with products from other brands. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl Sony_US

    Love this headphones. Has a lot of features. Has decent range. You can put your hand on the right side of the headphone for temporary talk to someone without having to remove your headphone from your head. And many other features. Very light. The only negative thing is the carrying case which is bulky and won't fit easy in a carry on luggage.

    I've been using the Apple AirPods Max for the last 2 years and noise cancelling of that headphones is amazing. Unfortunately, lost my headphones and started looking for alternative. I auditioned the M5 from my casual ears, music and movie audio is comparable to the Max. The noise cancelling though is I found a bit weaker than the Max. I do love the option to cover the right cup and you'll instantly hear your surroundings ambient sound. Overall, with being cheaper than the AirPods max, this is a great headphones
