    Absolutely love these headphones! Made the switch a few years ago and love the Sony headphones. While they’re not collapsible like the previous model, they still don't take much space and are also very convenient for travel

    Best sound so far for this series of headphones. Amazing noise canceling as always and call quality is better by far from the XM4s. Unfortunately they did away with the voice prompts, instead opting for a series of different tones that I really don’t like. It isn’t enough for them to lose a star but it is annoying nonetheless.

    Best headset I’ve owned in years. Ease of use and comfortable. Noise canceling is great but can be iffy when people are screaming around you. It will try to block there voice but is very wierd.

      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

    I was skeptical at first when I bought these headphones but wow do they sound amazing. The noise cancellation could be a tad bit better but it does the job by dialing the airplane noise way down. Would most defiantly recommend these to friends and family.
