Sony WH-1000XM5B Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones - 30hr Battery Life - Over-Ear Style - Optimized for Alexa and Google Assistant - Built-in mic for Calls - International Version - Charcoal Black

Some headphone brands focus on quality, or comfort or battery life; Well Sony has knocked it out of the park with these with fast charging, Uber comfy pads, extremely long battery life, great sound quality and some of the best noise cancelling out there. I owned the XM 4s and loved them, but they were chewed up by a small dog, which is the only reason they needed replacement, even after 4 years of extreme use( for reference I listened to 126,087 minutes on Spotify in 2022). These headphones, if taken care of could easily last a decade no doubt, and I have used them without complaint every day since I got them.

Absolutely amazing headphones with great sound quality

Where to start? These are the most advanced headphones I have ever used. The noise cancellation is incredible. When mowing the lawn I can barely tell if the lawnmower is running. It helps when meditating to get rid of the background noises and just sit in silence. The battery lasts forever. It doesn't feel too bulky on the head. The case leaves a little to be desired, the flap to hold the 3.5 mm adapter is flimsy and falls open with a weak magnetic closure, the case overall feels cheap, but the headphones themselves are high quality. I would hope for a better case in the next iteration but overall these are still the cream of the crop.

One of the best headphones I have used when it comes to noise cancellation. One thing I hate is that fingerprints are hard to clean. Other thing is the app in iPhone sometimes will not work well. You have to turn off and turn on the headphones to connect to the app; the audio will still work with the last device connected, but if you want to use some other features you need the app.

Great battery life and even better sound! Noise cancelling on these is unmatched so far. Had no issue with microphone quality even in windy conditions. Only con would be Bluetooth connectivity was not that stable at times and default EQ is not the best one.

I've really enjoyed these Sony head phones. They work just as good as advertised, if not better.

The only redeeming feature is its sound quality — when it works About once a day the headphones would cut off with a loud pop and you have to restart it Oh and after a year of use, the hinge has broken on one side and the other is forming a big crack. Sony wants $99 to fix it I think not. I am disappointed with this “flagship” experience, I expected better from a supposed industry leading model

These headphones are great and, though they are refurbished, seem like brand new.

It’s an excellent ANC headset no other headphones can compare in this price range. The sound is great, though I personally wish it were slightly louder. One downside I must mention is that it’s not foldable. However, the comfort is impressive I don’t even feel like I’m wearing a headset. Overall, it’s a great buy at this price.

Best headphones i ever had. Choose this model because of professional recommendations and that was 100% correct choice.

This is just a really amazing set of headphones. Great sound quality (need to adjust the EQ) and the noise cancelling is outmatched only by the newer model. You can find this for super cheap on sale and second hand. Definitely worth the buy!!

Packaged extremely well. The product finishing is exemplary. The Headphones Connect to my Pixel 6 Pro and Lenovo Notebook effortlessly. Out of the box the sound seemsvto be a little crowded but with the Sony app I was able to choose equaliser settings that I like. The call quality in a crowded noisy place is very good. I am happybwith the conbination of playback sound quality, Active Noise Cancellation and Call quality. This review is written based on 24 hours of owning this gadget. So I do not know if reliability will be as solid as what I have comento expect from Sony based on my experienw with owning and using the WF-1000-XM4. I bought these because the XM4 buds xannot deliver good call quality in noisy places.

Best ANC! Won’t even hear anything when travelling.
