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. Thanks for choosing Sony. Erin Sony_US

    Sound is amazing and the noise canceling does a pretty good job. Doesn't block everything out but I don't think that technology exists yet. Using the noise canceling while listening to music makes me feel like I'm in a soundproof room within the office.

    Much improved upgrade over my previous M3s. In choosing between the WH1000XM5s and Apple's AirPod Max, these were the clear winner.

    Lemme tell you. These are AMAZING! I’ve been coming from the lower end version of Sony headphones and these are night and day different! I was debating betweein the Airpod Max and the XM5s - this has an IP rating that Apple doesnt have which is well needed because my ears get damp and moisty a lot! Regardless, It’s super comfortable and amazing! Props to Sony for an amazing product!

    These headphones basically make a noisy room silent. The speaker wuality is good too. I would say when i turn the bass up very loud at all it makes a funny pop sound. I listen to a lot of metal so the kickdrum sounds funny. Other than that great headphones

      Hi AuGie, Thank you so much for your review! These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our noiseless design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl Sony_US

    Fantastic! The sound quality and mic quality are outstanding. Kind of bulky compared to the last generation. Wish the hand gestures were somewhat customizable. Pricy but worth it especially if your in an open office floorplan or frequent traveler

    I purchased these on a whim and I gotta say, I really liked them. I returned them because I also ordered at the same time a pair of M&D headphones at $600.00. Being a bit of a snob I kept the M&D headphones instead. I've regretted it ever since.
