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

I have been looking for some good over the ear headphones and seen so many good reviews of these. I decided to try them out and these are some amazing head phones! I recently had to travel and ended up wearing them for 6 hours straight! Battery life: The battery was full and by the end of my travel it dropped to 85% so the battery life is outstanding. Noise cancellation: It was really good and didn’t create too much pressure while on. Even when the headphones were off it did an amazing job of damping outside noise. Ex: I was by a VERY loud construction site and once I put on the headphones (turned off) it almost dampened the noise completely. Ambient Mode: It’s nice, I will say that in some cases I didn’t really use it. For example if you are in a loud environment it will be extremely loud while on. Which makes sense as the point of AMB is to be aware of your surroundings but if you have sensory issues I would be mindful of it. When you do the quick ambient sound it’s really good and makes what you need to hear very clear. There is very little static noise but if you are listening closely it’s very faint. Comfort: These are so comfortable and lightweight. Part of the reason I was having difficulty choosing over the ear headphones was because many were too heavy for my liking but when I wore these I forgot I had them on. I only had to adjust them once when it hit closer to the 5 hour mark. There is very little discomfort. My only thing is being that they are so light it feels like they can slip off easily sometimes. When you have them laying on your neck it can be a little uncomfortable at least for me. They landed on my collarbones so there was just hard plastic hitting my collarbones over a bit of time. But that is just me nit picking. Few set backs: the storage of them is a little inconvenient or undesirable. I wish these could fold because the case is quite large and take ups a lot of space especially when you are traveling. Overall: I have really enjoyed the experience with these headphones! I would really recommend these to someone who has auditory sensitivity like myself because they check a lot of boxes! There are only a few things that I wasn’t a huge fan of but that was like I said me nit picking. A video that was very helpful in making this decision was by: This is Tech Today on YouTube, they really went in-depth of all the features while also comparing it to different nc/amb headphones!

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.

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?

I loved my MX3s. I still have them and when I got the MX5s I tested them. The equalizer and sound is better. The ANC, though? No. Its not great at all, and the app does not help make it any easier--like all of Sonys stuff, they overdo the app and make it hard to easily use, tiny buttons, and slow slow slow response on my iPhone 14 pro. The worst part is the case and lack of foldability. While I love how light these are, they dont fold like my MX3, making them bulky and hard to pack. I will not use the case it weighs almost as much as the headphones. Why they dont fold is beyond me and poor design. While I love the pause when you take them off, if you wear them around your neck theyll restart again immediately and the touch buttons are too sensitive and do the same thing. I was willing to live with them until I tried a friends Airpod Max. While those are way pricier, Im sold on those--way more comfy and the sound is better, plus they fold. I was hoping for much better for these, but not it. The reviews with all the audiophiles gushing over the ANC are horsehockey--simply not that great. The bulkiness and the poor app design (an ongoing reason Sony lost the phone and electronics battle) dont help, either.

I bought these when they were discounted by $50 and have been using them for about 3 months now for both personal and work from home use. Sound quality, noise cancellation, microphone, and battery are great; they are pretty light and the clamping force is just right. The only thing that could be better is the headband part which can become uncomfortable after some time. But this seems to vary as my wife does not experience this issue. At this price though, you can’t really ask for more: if you want the same quality and more comfort, you would need to go with the higher end ones which are $200 more

Let me just start off by saying these are SO GOOD! The quality, the look, the sound ARE SO GOOD! They are so sleek!! if someone were to blindfold me and put these on my head, I would really think they were a Apple product, from the sound quality and features. All of my personal devices are Apple products, and I decided to go out of the box for these kind of headphones and definitely made the right choice. I tried the Apple ones, but in my opinion, these were lighter and more comfortable with the same quality. And these are definitely at a bit lower price point. 11/10 recommend.

I replaced a pair of Plantronics Backbeats. I use these every day at the gym, and despite the lack of a water resistance rating they have been fine. The sound detail, bass, and volume are excellent. The only thing I dont love is the recyclable headphone case - its flimsy, and the pocket for the cables pops open too easily.

There is no comparison to these headphones. The quality of sound, noise cancelling and Alexa features out performs the rest. Completely satisfied with this purchase.

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.

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
