    Best headphones I’ve ever had. The noise canceling is amazing. While flying you can’t hear the plane at all. Music sounds amazing.

    If you are having second thoughts about buying these headphones then you need to read this review. Go ahead and buy it! I cross shopped it against its Bose and Apple counterparts, It's definitely the winner due to its form, sound quality and weight. It just happens to be the most beautiful of all the 3 too but aesthetics can be a bit subjective.

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

      Hi Earbudsking, Great choice! We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your new 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

    Just received these today. I previously had the SONY xm3's. These headphones sound so much better to me. I have only been listening to them for a little more than an hour, but so far i am happy with the purchase. My only negative is that the case they come in is pretty large. I have not used it for more than an hour, so i cant yet rate the battery.

    The noise cancelling on these is INSANE, put them on in a noisy room and play some music, and all you can hear is your music. Scared to walk in piblic with how good these are in fear of getting robbed without hearing them lol.

    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.
