    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.

    Sounds amazing and it isn't made in Apple's horrible factories. Being able to use a cord is also an amazing feature that I use often with an old CD player.

    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.

    Headphones are ok, the sound quality is good but the noise canceling isn't good at all. Noy sure why but I believe it has to do with the adaptive ANC. No way to change this like the previous models. Little disappointed. Also after a while it started randomly disconnecting. I ended up returning them, didn't feel worth $400
