A complete winner!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.More refined than my older version (M3). Good improvement in the way to handle the ambiance isolation and the total silence mode, it is very intutive and I noticed less isolation in the older version I feel disconnected from the sorroundings.Like always unparalleled sound quality. Good quality calls !

It is most rewarding to hear that your WH-1000XM5 is working out so well for both your meetings and your personal time.
These headphones include Multipoint Connection, allowing you to stay connected to your laptop and phone simultaneously, and an Auto NC Optimizer that automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your surroundings.

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Product is the best purchase I have made so far. It is little bit expensive but the comfort and the noise cancellation that it provides is the best I could say till the market right now. One of the major con is the they are not foldable.

If you have an iPhone you will want these
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to replace my WH-1000XM3 and definitely worth the upgrade. These little cushions of audio goodness were so great my teenage son "borrowed" them and has refused to return them. I also purchased the WH-1000XM4 and these are still a step up. Cons: the headband feels cheap since it is thinner than the previous plastic bands BUT since these lack that wayyy to easy to break plastic piece on previous versions, I'd say it is worth it and a design change that was overdue. If you have an iPhone, the features beat the comparable Bose headphones. If you have an Android, you might actually prefer the Bose. Either way, you can't go wrong

Posted .Hi Jazzij2k,
Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're so glad to hear upgrading to the WH-1000XM5 is worth it and you are overall happy and satisfied with your purchase. Your feedback regarding the headband is greatly appreciated. The moving parts don't make the WH-1000XM5 fragile — the construction is solid and reassuring. These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our elegant design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear.
