Thank you for your review, Ynotgen!

It's fantastic to know that the noise-canceling technology was imperative and delivered the quiet environment you needed to focus, even in a very loud setting. That's exactly the kind of challenging environment the XM5s were designed to master!

Thank you again for choosing Sony to be your professional audio gear.

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
