Sony noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We weren’t sure where these were located in the store, and the sales associate showed us. We were originally looking for another pair and he noted that these were as good if not better and were $30 less at this time. These are great headphones! And who doesn’t love to save a little bit of money!

Great overall headphones and amazing ANC but
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Xm5s are better in every way than xm4s but they only lack the folding capabilities which make them less travel friendly. Hope the xm6 takes care of it.

Loved these
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a perfect entry level headphone for music lovers, the noise cancellation was perfect I couldn’t hear anything once it was on. It felt like I was in my own little world! And the ability to turn on ambience mode with just a touch of a finger without pulling out my phone is the cherry on top.

Posted .Hi Tuan, Thanks for sharing your awesome experience. We are glad that you loved your new Sony WH1000XM5 wireless noise canceling headphones. Thank you for your purchase. Enjoy your music! Vincent
I bought 2 pairs!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this one for my wife since I bought a black one for my self. I made a review about this one earlier but I think this is the best bang for your buck if you’re a music type of person. The ambient mode is amazing as well and when you start talking it minimizes the music so you can hear what people are saying to you.

Sony does not disappoint
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had these for some time now and I have no regrets. The best ANC I have had has been with these and the ambient is even as good. I have switched over to headphones from earphones because all of them have fallen out of my ear no matter what the design was. Only thing I do wish was that the touch controls were on both sides.
