We understand that the portability of the WH-1000XM5 may not match that of the WH-1000XM3 due to the design change where the headphones do not fold inwards.

    A definite upgrade from my old Sony headphones. They have superior nose cancellation and the added features are definitely worth the investment. I do miss the fact they do no fold like my old pair. Makes it a little more bulky to carry. The noise cancellation does take a tolll on the battery life.

    I purchased the Sony WH1000XM5 headphones to replace a pair of XM4's that were stolen. The newly designed XM5's are MUCH more sturdy than the XM4's that I constantly worried would break. The touch pad on the XM5 seems to be more responsive and consistent in the way it processes touches. The XM5 also auto connects more consistently, and they seem to hold the connection better. I also considered the Bose QC Ultras, and I ultimately chose the XM5's due to their longer battery life and much better microphone.
