      Thank you for your review, Ynotgen!

      We are so pleased to hear that your WH-1000XM5 headphones performed incredibly well for you while working at a millwork job.

      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.

    I’ve had these for 5 months and by far have been the best headphones I’ve purchased considering the sound quality and comfort but the hinge on the right ear cuff snapped with little effort and cannot be repaired by Sony even though it’s still under warranty and a known issue. Buy at your own risk.

    A definite upgrade from my old Sony headphones. They have superior nose cancellation and the added features are definitely worth the investment. I do miss the fact they do no fold like my old pair. Makes it a little more bulky to carry. The noise cancellation does take a tolll on the battery life.

      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

    In all honesty the headsets though they have great noise cancellation and great sound, I really (really) disliked the fact that they are hard to transport. The case is big and awkward and takes up a lot of space. I love the folding capacity of Sony Beats Solo 4. Traded up from my 3’s. I have since returned my CM5’s. Sorry. I would recommend the headset for the sound but not in terms of easy transport.

      We also appreciate your valuable feedback regarding the carrying case and the lack of a folding design.

    Perfect product in my opinion, I had an older version from 6 years ago that worked perfectly well, but a friend needed a pair to work in quiet so I gifted them to her. These WH1000XM5's are simply a phenom! They perform as promised and allow me to get rid of the sound from the a/c unit in my rental home. Forget about the music, just LISTEN and you will fall in love this Sony headset.
