    Bought these to use in the gym since I can’t stand using earbuds while working out. Definitely has been a great upgrade and would recommend these headphones to anyone looking for phenomenal sound quality as well as some versatility in an over ear headphone.

    My wife wanted some noise cancelling headphones so when we took a trip she could read her books without listening to my music loud. I got her these and she plays classical music and reads in peace. She said these headphones are the best. Blocks out my music, and the music she plays sounds so good.

    Sound quality is great and so is the noise canceling feature. Can get a little uncomfortable wearing it for too many hours consistently but mostly very comfortable if adjusted well to fit head.

    I owned the M2 before buying these. Works fine for my needs. The included carry case is nice. Ear cushions are comfortable. Noise cancelling works just as good as my previous version. I'd recommend if you can find it at sale price.

      Hi S54CM3! Thanks for the review!
      It is most rewarding to hear that your WH-1000XM5 is working out so well for both your meetings and your personal time.

      These headphones include Multipoint Connection, allowing you to stay connected to your laptop and phone simultaneously, and an Auto NC Optimizer that automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your surroundings.

      Thanks for selecting Sony headphones!

    Love them! Great sound blocking headphones. Got the grey ones, they did not get dirty. The case is made of recycled materials that can easily get dirty but it is easy to clean. Overall great product. Use them everyday at work and on the train on the way to uni.

      Hi TomA, We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the noise canceling feature of your new WH-1000XM5 headphones! 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

    I purchased the headset on sale and these sound great. Swipe controls on the right are helpful and take some getting used to. Be careful adjusting your headsets, as you may inadvertently activate a swipe on the right side.

    Very comfortable. I bought these because I have severe insomnia due to Lyme disease. I use these to fall back asleep while listening to binaural beats or the Abide app. I fall asleep with them on all the time. I have never owned expensive headphones but these are extremely comfortable. They also silence my husband’s snoring.

    I had a much older pair of Sony headphones that sounded really great. These blow them away. The noise reduction is awesome. I can mow my lawn and never hear the mower running. Also while using it talking on my phone it does fantastic! Great investment for headphones.
