    These haedphones are the truth! They have amazing sound quality its like being in the middle of the movie, vidoe, or song you are playing. When playing a movie you can hear the ancillary background conversations on the movie. I kept thinking someone was in the room with me! The noise canceling feature is top notch, i recently took a 4 hour flight abd had a screaming baby about 4 rows behind me. I poped on my headphones, started a movie and voila no more screaming baby!! Worth every penny for me.

    I'm not traveling without it these days. I just put it on and forget it's there. As much as I love the noise cancellation, it's not perfect. Like when I was on plane, it cancelled out the engine noise but kinda amplified the couple talking behind me. I checked if the ambient sound with voice was turned on but no. Noise cancellation was fully on. It was like hearing their podcast. Sometimes I hate how much space this thing takes in my bag. I love how I don't need to worry about charging it cus it lasts for like 30 hours or something.

      Hi Jaison, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with your Sony WH1000XM5! We're very happy to hear you love the excellent noise canceling feature and long battery life of these headphones. To make the most of the noise canceling function, turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it. Note: Because the noise canceling performance is automatically optimized by the Auto NC Optimizer function according to changes in the wearing condition and usage environment, you may notice fluctuations in the noise canceling effect.
      If you have any specific suggestions or features you'd like to see, feel free to share them with us. Your insights are important to us as we work to meet and exceed your expectations. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Pretty good ANC headphones but the found the ear cups too small and shallow, not very comfortable to use. The stock sound is terrible, will need to EQ in the Sony app, but after EQ sound is not bad.

      Hi Kendall! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. We're sorry to hear that the earcups weren't as comfortable as you'd hoped and that the initial sound profile didn't quite meet your expectations.

      We understand that comfort is key, especially during long listening sessions, and we appreciate you bringing the earcup size and depth to our attention. This kind of feedback is valuable as we're always looking for ways to improve our designs.

      It's great to hear that you were able to customize the sound to your liking using the Sony Headphones Connect app's EQ settings! We're also glad that you found the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to be effective – it's something we're very proud of with the WH-1000XM5.

      Thanks again for your honest review and choosing us. Your insights are helpful for us and for others considering these headphones. If you have any further questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

    The noise cancelling is excellent. I use these to sleep at night because of extremely noisey neighbors upstairs. I've regained my sanity! Also, the mic when speaking to someone over the phone really isolates your voice and they do not hear background noise. While walking outside, I had a conversation and the person on the other end could not hear the dogs barking (loudly) in the background. Definite improvement from the XM4 headphones. The only thing that I'm not crazy about is that they do not fold.
