    I had the previous model before these and I loved them and when I heard they released a new version I was excited. Long story short the build quality isn't as good but the sound and noise cancelation is beter than ever. Overall I definitely recommend.

    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.

    These headphones are amazing, I only ever spent under $30 for headphones before so these were a total upgrade and well worth the price. I use these when i’m in the backseat of the car with my family and it cancels out all the noise and radio their playing

    Excellent headphones, the noise cancellation is second to none and it allows you to feel like you are transported to another world. The headphones were sunk in water by accident and still got no damage, would recommend.

    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.

      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 Sony_US
