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

Obviously these are expensive AF and I would recommend people wait till these are on sale to get them but can say these are amazing! I have had these for a week or to now and can say these work so well and were def worth the money. I don’t like the whole needing to download an app to pair these BUT will say these are great at cancelling noise, amazingly seamless at switching between devices, have a great battery life, and comfortable. Will say it was a learning curve with the fact these are touch sensitive for the controls. Only minor complaint is that sometimes I have to go to my Bluetooth settings to get them to connect since they don’t automatically connect sometimes. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good pair to invest in!

If youre going to be wearing these headphones for many hours, then this is a bad choice. After 1 hour of work, the head and ears begin to hurt.

I bought these headphones for use at work and they are amazing. The ANC is something that I did not realize I needed until using these. They are perfect for keeping noise out when on important phone calls and you are in a noisy environment. For music, these are amazing. I would recommend.

Makes a great gift!

default signature disappointed me but drives are handled perfectly by Eq. you can customize your perfect signature. high mid and tremble are very responsive. muddy in lows and decent but not great soundstage. overall true high res experience.

This probably is my first product that I pre-ordered. I generally wait, do extensive research and try it myself before spending such a huge amount on any product. Sony has built a very strong brand for itself in the wireless headphone space since the launch of XM series. XM 3-4 both are great products, with no major issues. But they both had 1 or 2 drawbacks that didnt push be enough to upgrade and buy one. XM4 Bass is little forward for me. I like to prefer tighter, clear bass. XM5 delivers that. XM5 - the good Stuff 1) ANC - Best ANC in the market. I own several Bose headphones and earbuds. This has far the best ANC. 12 Quick setup- It took me not more than 5 mins to open the box, connect my phone and start listening. Battery was pre-charged to about 65% 3) Comfortable - The earcup are soft padded with a faux leather type material that appears to be of good quality. Will have to see how it performs during sweaty, hot environment. 4) Connectivity- It connect seamless, and quickly. The range is insane. I can literally walk all around in my home or in my backyard away from my phone and it stay connected. I have had no issue of any drop at all. 5) Battery/Charging - Long enough and charges quickly 6) App features/Options - Multiple options to customize EQ setting, noise cancellation, transparency etc. 7) Multiple device connectivity 8) Love the Sand (white) color 9) Sound Quality - Last but not the least sound quality is amazing. The default EQ out of the box is really good. But if you customize the EQ and bump little bit the Clear bass and treble it just sounds amazing. Its been 6 hours non-stop listening for me, I have played all kind of genre and they all sound great. XM5-Not so good 1) Carrying Case - Case is little big, flatter. The headphone doesnt fold. Not a huge deal, but it could be issue for some. 2) It can get hot after couple of hours. To sum it up, for 4hunderd bucks, it is not a cheap headphone. But does it deserve the price tag and delivers on that. YES! With all the features it has, I really do not find anything that I am going to be missing or need for at least several years. It even has a 3.5mm jack :) This will be my new travelling buddy as I prepare to start travelling again!

Hey there, cats and kittens, let me tell you about these noise-canceling headphones, see? Theyre pretty good, I aint gonna lie. They cancel out all the noise like nobodys business. But let me tell ya, this adaptive ANC thing is driving me nuts! I mean, Im trying to yodel here, you know, and all of a sudden the headphones start adjusting the noise cancellation and it throws me off my game. I cant be having that, see? I need my yodeling to be on point at all times. But, aside from that, these headphones are the bees knees. The sound quality is top notch and the battery life is the real McCoy. And let me tell ya, they look sharp too. Ive had people come up to me on the street and ask where I got them. So, all in all, these headphones are the cats meow. But if youre planning on doing any serious yodeling, you might want to turn off that adaptive ANC. Otherwise, you might find yourself in a real jam, see?

Nice headphone but this color gets dirty easily if you sweat!

I ordered these and they came late. I ordered the SILVER colored ones but the black one was what was shipped. I was mad but then I put them on and loved them. They sound really good

I had a very nice performing budget ANC headphones for a few years, which unfortunately not sold anymore. As they statted peeling off and I accidentally broke one side, decised to go to a new pair. The issue is that I recently was very disappointed with high advertised medium priced headphones, so after a bunch of research I went to these, as multiple sources indicated xm4 or xm5 as best recommendation. It is understated luxury. Box not flashy, headphones smooth without any huge brand names, fit perfectly, came in galf charged. After turning them on, I did not even need to invoke pairing dialog on my laptop, it automatically jumped out offering to pair. After paired to my phone and installing app, it automatically caught that I use Google Assistant and not Alexa and suggest to be linked to. Taps and swipes for managing volume, pause, tracks are so intuitive, I needed only to glance through the instructions and see hold and swipe, and it made sense. So far first impression is great - you pay not for flashiness, but for comfort, quality and ease of use. I still need to read more about multipoint pairing between phone and laptop, as I want to be able to listen to music from phone, but respond to meeting calls coming in from laptop wherever needed.
