Not budget friendly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome, however I believe the price is a little high for what you get. I would recommend getting the m4 rather than these. All in all, if budget isn’t an issue, then these are perfect.

Solid for office and travel
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise cancelling are both great. Very clear and crisp, I do wish they were collapsing like the previous generations but not a huge issue. The only con are the "touch" controls as they can be a struggle

So good I bought two
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the black ones. I liked these so much I got the white one as a gift. I did drop two stars because the mic does not work with the Sony Playstation which is dumb. But it works amazing when switching from my pc and phone and handling calls.

Posted .Thank you for the review, MuzT!
We are so glad to hear you love the WH-1000XM5 enough to gift a second pair! It’s great that you’re enjoying the seamless switching between your PC and phone.
Regarding the microphone with your PlayStation, while these are primarily designed for mobile and PC use, you can actually use the mic with your console by connecting the included 3.5mm cable directly into your controller! For a fully wireless mic experience on PS5, we usually recommend our INZONE gaming headsets.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

overall 8/10
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The function "Ambient Sound Mode" is found on the app, which can be controlled through linear slider. I choose to keep it on a middle level because it allows me to hear a bit of my surroundings. i find this most helpful since noise canceling can often trigger my vertigo. I keep the "focus on voice" option on, it creates an amplifying speaker effect on the voices. From an aesthetic viewpoint, I like their clean leather feel, plush sit, but find that they stain/scratch easily. The case it comes in isn't sturdy, so I would be convenient to buy a separate case to protect them. Additionally, these headphones do not come with the USB-C Power Adapter. I will continue to see how I feel about these headphones over the next few months. This review is after having them for 1 month.
