Sony’s Best Noise Cancelling Headphones Yet
Sony has been at the top of the line for years now when it comes to Noise Cancelling Headphones, and their latest addition continues that tradition. So far my experience with the WH-1000XM5 have been excellent! UNBOXING & SETUP: - Sony has really impressed me this time around with their minimalist packaging and unboxing. Its a subtle thing but its just nice that everything is recyclable and it does not come with a bunch of extra packaging, twist ties, and plastic wrap. - Once you take them out of the carrying case, they are essentially ready to use! Just connect them to your phone / tablet / computer and you are ready to go! - Sony recommends downloading their Sony Headphone App as well, which is definitely useful. Especially since it downloads any software updates needed for the headphones in the future. PROS: - I absolutely love the refreshed design on these! The XM3 / XM4 had the same design which was fine, but the XM5’s really have a more modern sleek look to them that are a big upgrade. - I was very impressed with how light these are and how comfortable they are! Sony opted for more of a plastic feel to keep them lighter, but I don’t think it makes them feel cheap. I think it was the right choice to make to keep all day comfort in mind as well as portability. - On that note, I wore these for a long time and they were comfortable the entire time. The adjustable headband is better fitting, the ear pads are comfortable, and they are not too tight at all. - When I first put these on I was truly blown away at the Noise Cancelling. I have used plenty of noise cancelling headphones in the past, but these easily offer the best noise cancelling I have used. Instantly you are taken back by how much sound they drown out. - The Sound Quality is of course exceptional! Everything I listen to is so crisp and offers a ton of clarity. The dialogue / vocals are excellent, the bass is impactful, and everything about the music or show you listen to just feels alive. Overall I am very pleased with how great these sound. - The touch controls are once again excellent as well! You can pause, play, change tracks, change from noise cancelling to transparency mode, and if you hold your hand over the right touchpad you can quickly hear what’s going on around you which is an cool little trick. - Taking calls on the XM5’s are fantastic as well! I can tell the call quality has improved and people have told me the mics sound great on their end as well. Definitely would be really easy to use for phone calls, work meetings, or gaming as well. - Battery life is really solid too! 30 hours with ANC on, 40 without ANC, and they give you 3 hours of playback from 3 mins of charging if you are in a pinch. - Lastly, the minor details all work well too! They still offer a aux port, still charge via USB-C, and the carrying case feels premium. CONS: - I do wish these had a waterproof design for use outdoors or while working out. - The carrying case is larger than before since the headphones do not collapse/fold in, and instead just lay flat. However I still think the carrying case is really nice. BOTTOM LINE: - The Sony WH-1000XM5’s are simply the best Noise Cancelling Headphones you can buy! They offer superb Sound, Noise Cancelling, have great features, and are very comfortable! Plus Sony headphones just work with everything - Android, Apple, Windows, you name it. If you are in the market and want the best headphones possible, these are the ones to buy!

Awesome porchace
I recently purchased the XM5 headphones, and they exceeded my expectations in nearly every way. Here’s a breakdown of my experience: What I Liked: Exceptional Sound Quality: The audio performance is phenomenal, with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or watching movies, the sound is immersive and well-balanced. Comfort: The lightweight design and plush ear cups make these headphones incredibly comfortable, even during extended use. I’ve worn them for hours without any discomfort. Noise Cancellation: The noise-canceling feature is among the best I’ve experienced. It effectively blocks out background noise, allowing me to focus completely, whether at home or in a busy café. Battery Life: The battery life is impressive. I’ve gone several days of regular use without needing to recharge. Build and Aesthetics: The XM5 has a sleek, modern design that feels both premium and durable. The materials used are top-notch, and the attention to detail is evident. What Could Be Improved: Touch Controls: While the touch controls are convenient, they can sometimes be overly sensitive, resulting in unintended commands. A bit more refinement would make them perfect. Price: These headphones are on the higher end of the price spectrum. While the quality justifies the cost, it might not be accessible for everyone. Overall, the XM5 is a fantastic product that delivers a premium listening experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for top-tier headphones with excellent sound, comfort, and noise cancellation.

The comfort of these headphones is another aspect that deserves praise. The over-the-ear design provides a secure and comfortable fit, even during long listening sessions. The ear cups are plush and well-padded, and the headband distributes the weight evenly, reducing any pressure or discomfort. The overall build quality is excellent, with a sleek and durable design that exudes premium craftsmanship. The battery life on the WH-1000XM5 is impressive. With a single charge, I can enjoy up to 30 hours of uninterrupted listening.
