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

So I did tests on several different headphones, Sony, Audio Technica, Bose, Apple, etc. Noice cancelation, sound quality, weight, comfort, you name it the mark V comes out on top. Even being more inclined to buy Apple, I still felt there were more pros for the Sonys than the AP Max.

The noise cancellation is insane to me. I brought them on a road trip where noise and screaming is prominent and by my surprise canceled it like crazy. And the sound is even better. Just in all a great pair of headphones. 10/10 would recommend buying them.

These headphones do a great job with ANC but if you take the bus in Los Angeles like I do during rush hour 5 days a week, you will still hear noises and chatter. Also, the size of the case will take up a fair amount of space in your backpack.

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 loved these headphones, and they are very nice in every way. Great sound quality for being Bluetooth. The side touch panel was quite annoying, as I would go to turn up the volume right before the chorus of the song just to be met with my song skipping to the next song. Because when you wear the headphones they sit on an angle on your ear so that they fit the shape of your ear. So often when I try to swipe up to turn up the sound I instead input the command to skip the song forward or backward. Dont know how this happens so easily. THE PROBLEM: I do not know if I have a faulty pair but in the past week of me having them (purchased 24 days ago) I have noticed twice now that I will be listening to music then suddenly I will be met with a jarring sound (nearly a screech) for around 4-6 seconds before my headphones suddenly stop my music and disconnect from my phone. The first time this happened it was as I was taking my headphones off, I put them back on to hear the continuing screeching then the headphones turned off without me pressing the power button. The second time this happened was when I was just listening to music, my hand never even reached for the headphones when suddenly the screech came up and shut off my headphones. I have no idea what is causing this, both times my headphones were sufficiently charged. I would be willing to send these in if it meant I got a full refund. I would totally recommend these to anyone, but then this happened to my 400-dollar headphones... now I am questioning the quality of this product and whether or not this model is prone to bugs in their system. Trying to get a refund now...

I think often times big time techies and Android users/Apple haters write stellar reviews for this product. I have extensive experience with audio technology and have used other products, both popular and lesser known. These are fine! The NC technology is actually superior in the AirPods Pro 2 for a fraction of the cost. Also, something about a $400 product feeling so CHEAP is driving me insane lol. They are very comfortable for over the head headphones.

I love the Sony WF-1000xm4 so I was excited for the updated version. They sound great but I think the noise cancellation option is better on the xm4.

These sound ok. Personally like the sound from older Bose 700 model. But always disconnecting and not working with Teams. Frustrated that they are not able to handle it. Yes I have tried everything on Windows 10 to get them to work. They will literally work watching a YouTube video and as soon as I go to Teams they stop working.

These are sick. There’s even a app you can customize your settings and how you want specific settings for when your up and active, when someone speaks to you, or if you just sitting down studying. The volume controls are swiping either up or down vertically. To skip songs, it’s horizontal left. They are very comfortable, HOWEVER after certain times after long wear, give or take 5-6 hours they can get a little uncomfortable but I think that’s inevitable. However as a broke college student, these allow me to stay focus while also communicating with my peers. Trust me, they are worth the money.

These headphones were faulty when I got them. They wouldn’t stay connected to any device and randomly disconnected. I returned it and ordered a new pair but it took me a lil over two weeks to get a refund. I had to hunt drop it off at a specific Amazon locker and then contact customer sales after two weeks of not receiving updates. Luckily, they refunded me right away once they confirmed they got it. So here’s my revised review of the product. The Bluetooth connection does need to be set EACH time I use it with any apple products. Mildly annoying bc I’d love for it to connect automatically but I have it paired with three nearby devices so this is acceptable to me. The new pair sometimes disconnects randomly but not much and a quick button click gets it back on. With zoom it’s even more weird but I think that’s more to do with zooms interface than these headphones so I’m not faulting them here. Otherwise the sound quality is nice AF! And the cushions are ultra plush. I love it! I’ll update again if more things pop up but so far so good.
