Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Industry Leading Headphones with Auto Noise Canceling Optimizer, Crystal Clear Hands-Free Calling, and Alexa Voice Control, Silver

I don’t notice any exceptional sound quality with these headphones (to my disappointment). However, I do have an aggravating problem with the headphones cutting out while listening. The headphones cut out an average of every 10 or 15 minutes, which kind of ruins the whole listening experience.

Had the Bose 700: The voice was course and very loud. I got piss*d, threw the Bose and broke them. Just as well because I got these. Nothing like seeking noise protection and your protection screams in your ears. Also, the Bose didnt have the same rich Bose sound, just me. These: They protect as low as 4hz. They also dont hold the settings which is frustrating, so the four stars. Super battery that charges in minutes. The voice is low and soft. These are the best noise cancelling headphones yet.

I bought Nov 2022 and the item broke Already for a $400 item to only last 6 months plus Sony dont cover dry rout or any other physical damage. Sorry $400 wasted

For those worried about either getting this or the previous model. This xm5 is worth it, the only thing is the design which depending on the person can look a little weird but the functions are top tier and the battery lasts so long

I bought these to use when we walk inside the local mall during the very hot days of summer. They have exceeded my expectations in every way. Many days the mall noise is uncomfortable without some ANC. These are the best I have ever used for ANC. The sound quality is outstanding to my ears and I listen to a lot of classical music where it is easy to notice any performance issues. All of the controls work just as they should. I sometimes wear them for several hours at a time and they are quite comfortable. Calls are easy and always clear. I also own the Sony WF1000XM4 set and when wearing headphones is appropriate I usually choose the headphones over the also excellent XM4 set. Bluetooth just works perfectly with my phone and windows computer. No hassles ever. Music is important to me and these make it more enjoyable.

I bought this product for my daughter’s birthday. She absolutely enjoys using these headphones compared to her past sets.

I bought these headphones and completely fell in love with them… only until I realized how incompatible they were if you weren’t a android user—so much so, I ended up returning them because of my frustration and fatigue with its interface. If you use Apple products like I do, the headphones features like “360 audio” (which was a huge selling point for me) only works when you download an app for the headphones, and then again only works with certain apps and websites, not all audio like Apple Music or Spotify. I found this to be a huge let down and was even more annoyed I needed these myriad of apps to utilize a huge selling feature of the headphones. Besides the compatibly issue the headphones were amazing: great design, amazing audio, and great battery life yet, ultimately for me it’s overly complicated ways and hoops to jump through as an Apple user is what steered me away here. I instead bought the Apple AirPods Max, equally great sound quality, superior design, and elite performance, plus they are insanely and easily comparable with every thing Apple which was a huge selling point for me. Plus, their “spatial audio” (the same thing as “360 degree audio”) actually works seamlessly, which numerous apps, without jumping through hoops. (Also random tidbit—the Sony headphones get extremely hot and sweaty after you wear them for too long. Apples do not, insanely comfortable and breathable for hours on end).

I love these headphones so much. I wanted a pair of headphones for my game room but couldn’t find anything pink, noise cancelling and high quality worth the price. I found these and am very pleasantly surprised by them. They are so lightweight and have a great amount of noise cancelling. Love them!

These are wonderful. They are much better than my Bose 35’s. Recently upgraded and noticed the Bose hadn’t updated they’re product in a while and bought these. No comparison. Sony XM5 wins!

I need silence, I didnt realize that the microphone is also dealing with the noise cancellation too. Fantastic
