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

This is truly amazing. First, they fit perfectly over my ears and are so comfortable Second, The sound quality is awesome. Third, the features are excellent. I can set it so if I need to hear people talking I can, or set it to hear only whatever I am listening to. I really like all the features of these headphones. Honestly, this is the best headphones I have ever purchased. Well worth the cost. They fold and have an amazing case to carry them in as well.

damn these are fire, got them during the prime member day on the 11-12th for about $50 cheaper definitely worth every penny.

The noise cancellation is no joke, I love them!!

Switched to these from the AirPod Pros. For around $100 more the quality difference is uncanny. It’s also nice to have headphones I can plug in to make sure they’re actually charging and not just hoping they did while they’re in their charging case (you could say I’m a bit jaded by apple at the moment). That aside, these are a great set of headphones. I live in the NYC area and things can get a bit loud here. These headphones allow me to tune out the noise while also giving incredible sound quality. I also don’t notice an incredibly large difference between the sound quality in Bluetooth vs wired connection. Finally, while they don’t fold in they do come in a slim carrying case that is of nice cloth quality. It fits perfect in any brief case.

I fly often. I use noise cancelling headphones to make my plane time more peaceful and enjoyable. I owned the M4s for a while and loved them, so when Sony brought the M5 to market, I couldnt wait. I was hesitant to pay this kind of money, of course, but I read several professional reviews that raved about them. I will say right up front, I just couldnt hear any difference in the noise cancelling from my M4s. I gave my M4s to my partnerer who travels with me most of the time, so I am able to switch with her for comparison. I just cant hear a difference. But, Im that guy who always wants the latest and the best in tech, so I thought I would be happy. Heres the thing. My new M5s are constantly shifting the noise canceling. Im sitting on the plane listening to relaxing music and it is like they shift from canceling to ambient noise. It lasts for 5-10 seconds, then they shift back. It happend every 5 minutes or so. I have tried turning off adaptive sound control, but it doesnt make a difference. Unfortunately, I went a while without traveling right after I purchased these and so didnt really start experiencing this until a while after purchasing. It is probably to late to return, but I will try. My advice would be to save the money and buy the M4s. They are certainly cheaper and in my experience, much better.

The best headphones Ive ever tried

For so long, I yearned for a true headphones to give me the true connection to my soul when listening to my music. I have swap, switch, swing, and had a lot of one night stands with many. But nothing has made me fall in love at first sound until now. I am a firm believer there is a true sound at first ear for everyone and this is the one. I don’t know if I can yearn for anything else beyond this majestic piece of love juice. My ears melt at first touch of the soft silky pads. The girth of the the band brings amazing feeling around my head caressing me and reminding me it loves me unconditionally. As the sound pours through my ears with it soft whispers and vigor bass, I am at awe and excitement at every song, music, and instrumental I have heard before, but now it is uncharted territory for my ear pleasure. The vibration is so subtle and invigorating making me spew of oohs and ahhs. I kid you not, get these headphones and you will melt into the dimension of this love making machine. Thank you Sony ❤️

My gym buddies love the xm4 so I bought these when on sale. We compared them and I am shocked to say quality has gone down. Also the xm4 are way comfier

These headphones are the best investment I’ve ever made. The noise cancellation is so good that I forget about my surroundings. And battery life last so long and I used them daily.

The factory ear pads are a bit crowded for larger ears. Only negative I could come up with.
