Long story short the build quality isn't as good but the sound and noise cancelation is beter than ever. Overall I definitely recommend.

Insomnia
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable. I bought these because I have severe insomnia due to Lyme disease. I use these to fall back asleep while listening to binaural beats or the Abide app. I fall asleep with them on all the time. I have never owned expensive headphones but these are extremely comfortable. They also silence my husband’s snoring.

Held up for over a year, good for everyday use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for my spouse as a gift and he really likes them. They seem a little delicate around the part where the headband attaches to the ear pieces, but he's used them daily for about a year now and they seem to have held up. He uses them for music, his phone, and work calls.

Posted .Hi Loked,
It is fantastic to know that you would recommend the WH-1000XM5 to others! We truly appreciate you sharing your positive experience with the community.
We’ve worked hard to ensure these headphones set a high standard for both silence and sound. By utilizing our Integrated Processor V1 and HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1, the XM5s can block out more high and mid-frequency sounds than ever before—whether you're in a noisy office or on a busy flight. Additionally, the Auto NC Optimizer automatically adjusts the noise canceling based on your wearing conditions and environment, ensuring you always have the most immersive listening experience possible without having to lift a finger.
Thank you for trusting Sony.
Regards,
Dominick
