    With or without the app, noise around me disappears almost entirely. Adding music to the mix and I can relax, unwind, and not worry about getting too overstimulated. Excellent for those who can get easily overstimulated with excessive/complex/loud noises.

    These head phones are comfortable enough to bing watch but I can't tell if they are on or off unless I listen to them.. I wish there could be a light indicatior to let me know. I have put them away charged but when I want to use them they are not charged.

    I listened to every pair in the store, the Sony WH-1000XM5 sounded better than any other brand they had by far. My salesperson told me this is the one he recommended to everyone and also had bought himself a pair.
