||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They’re pretty good as far as noise canceling. But they have to be pretty loud to drown out other things.

Posted .Hi NicolasC,
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying the magnificent sound quality of the Sony - WH1000XM5. We also appreciate your feedback on the volume; for a more personalized sound, you may want to explore the equalizer settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. It allows you to customize the sound profile to your liking, which might help you get a little more out of them.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

A little too expensive, but pretty good quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’d probably give these headphones 5 stars if their programming could reduce the wind noise, headache-inducing bass response when using them in a high wind environment. Also, the connecting bar between the two ear cups can feel pretty hard and heavy if you don’t adjust them right. But hey, literally everything else is fantastic. The sound quality, outside of the wind noise thing, whether for music or podcasts is above reproach. If these were $250 they’d be a no-brainer.

I can honestly say that i am extremely happy with these. The noise cancellation is amazing. The sound quality is clear and not over bass heavy. Has a great case and comes with all needed accessories.

Best ANC you can buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these headphones because I love music and I hate outside noise while listening to music so these are perfect. Paired with the Sony headphones app that allows you to build an EQ of your own you can’t go wrong. Top notch noise cancellation, a pretty good ambient mode, speak to chat, and few other bells and whistles make these worth every penny.

Sony XM5
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones work great! I especially love using them in the gym. They really block out all surrounding noise. I use them while moving around a lot and they rarely slip off my head. The only time they slip a bit is when they are over my long hair. It is better if you move your hair out of the way so the pads make contact with your skin, keeping them in place and barely moving.
