The WH1000XM5 is the latest version of Sony's famous noise-canceling wireless headphones. These premium headsets for over-ears are a little different from their predecessors in terms of design, but still offer the same great sound quality and comfort.

Similar to their predecessors, the XM5s have a pair 30mm mica-reinforced full-range cellular drivers that produce clear and precise audio. The earcups have also been made a bit smaller to help reduce weight and make them more comfortable to put on your ears. The headband is soft leather cover and a smattering of memory foam. This makes the XM5s some of the most comfortable headphones around.

The XM5s are a high-end wireless headphone, competing with the Bose QC35 II, Apple AirPods Max and other top brands. They compete with high-end headphones such as Bang & Olufsen, Montblanc and more. However, the XM5s are more affordable and perform better.

If you don't want to pay the high price tag of the XM5s, there are the less expensive WH-C500.

Noise Cancellation

It doesn't matter if it's the low drone of an airplane's engine or your coworker's chattering neighbor, noise cancelation is vital in any good pair of headphones. The WH-1000XM5s are no exception with their excellent active noise cancellation that blocks out the most annoying sounds within your surroundings. The headband is padded, curved and fits around your ears. It seals you off from the world outside with an acoustic enclosure that blocks out low-frequency sounds like air conditioning and background conversations.

Sony's noise canceling does a very good job of filtering out high-frequency sounds, like clanging dishware or other ambient conversations. There's a limit to the amount of noise you're able to block, and that limit is mostly determined by your surroundings. The WH-1000XM5s can block out the steady noise of a jet engine but will not do much to calm down a screeching brake or your seatmate's raucous conversation (that's why passive isolation is more useful).

If you want to cancel out more background sound, Bluetooth headphones there are several options available. You can tweak the EQ within the headphones using the Headphones Connect app or a third-party equalizer, and you can also use the programmable physical button located on the left earcup to set three "favorite" noise cancellation levels. You can switch between 10 different ANC levels by pressing a single button.

The headphones wireless Sony feature Bluetooth 5.0 with multipoint and support SBC, AAC, and Sony's LDAC codec for hi-res audio streaming (if you connect to compatible devices). If you're using an older smartphone or tablet the headphones will switch to SBC to ensure stability.

When you buy a pair of premium headphones, you pay for premium Bluetooth codes, excellent sound and noise cancellation. The WH-1000XM5s are an excellent choice, particularly in the event that you already own a previous model of the headphones and want to upgrade. They're among the top wireless noise-cancelling headphones available. They're the most durable pair of headphones we've reviewed in recent years and they're a great choice for commutes that are hectic.

The earbuds come with a smart charging case that ensures the earbuds are charged when they are not in use. This allows you to keep your listening sessions going throughout the day. They also come with fast charging technology that can give you up to three hours of music in just 10 minutes.

When the case is closed, the earbuds automatically turn off and enter power saving mode to increase battery life further.
