Quiet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Christmas gift for my son and he loves them Only challenge on my end is if you don't switch on the outside sound, the headphones are truly quiet and you won't hear any outside noise, including your parents yelling for you to come down to dinner......

Sickest pair of headphones I've ever owned.
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be quite honest these have just been rolling around the internet as probably the best set of headphones the average person can feasibly buy recently. I had been using beats solo pro 3's for about 4 years when I replaced them for these. I can't recommend these enough.

A little disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not sure if the pair I purchased are faulty but the Noise Cancellation isn’t good enough. I tried them in the store before I purchased them (during a very noisy Black Friday) and they were perfect, I couldn’t hear anything but the music. But the pair I have don’t cancel background noises that well. I might have to return them for a different pair. Overall great sound quality and very comfortable, but if I’m buying “Noise Canceling” headphones for $300 I’d want them to work as advertised.

Posted .Hi AlyssaW, WeRe sorry to hear about your experience. This is definitely not the news we'd like to hear from you. Allow us to help and turn your experience around.
The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. If the effect of noise canceling is not sufficient, please try the following:
Make sure the noise canceling function is turned on.
Adjust the headset into a comfortable position.
The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.
Additional step is available on the Help Guide:

Overall Great Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are easy to setup, comfortable, and have a long battery life. The noise cancelling could be better. Not sure if its the software or the actual headphones, but in some environments the noise canceling doesnt even seem to turn on.
