Overall Great headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has pretty decent ANC. The only issue issue i have with ANC is the wind noise. Sound quality is great, the build itself is nice, comfortable, and looks and feels premium.

Best noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise canceling headphones on the market. Pricey, but you get what you pay for. Long battery life. Sounds quality out of the box is good, but is much better after EQing them.

Great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these for my son for Christmas. The headphones work great and he said the noise canceling is awesome! The zipper on the case broke right away…it’s almost as if the zipper was put on the inside. Hoping to reach out and get a new case for them.

We’re so glad to hear your son is enjoying the awesome noise canceling and performance of his WH-1000XM5 headphones! However, we are very sorry to hear about the issue with the carrying case zipper. That certainly isn't the experience we want for you or your son, especially with a new Christmas gift.
We would love to help get this resolved. Please reach out to our support team at socialsupport@am.sony.com with your contact information so we can assist you with this problem.
