In our rave review of the Sony WH-1000XM5, Kevin Lee stated, "The Sony WH-1000XM5 are hands-down the best-sounding and most impressive noise-canceling headphones available. They command a premium price, but the cost of audio excellence is well worth it."
Building on the already excellent Sony XM4, the XM5 boasts significant improvements in noise cancellation and comfort. A second processor and double the microphone count drastically enhance noise filtering. Redesigned earcups provide a snugger fit, improving passive noise isolation. The noise cancellation is noticeably superior to the XM4 and most competitors in its price range.
The XM5 also features a sleeker redesign with a refined headband adjustment. The wider headband distributes weight more evenly, and the luxurious synthetic leather earcup padding offers enhanced comfort for extended wear. However, a minor drawback is the inability to fold the XM5 inward; they only swivel, resulting in less compact portability.
Maintaining the XM4's impressive battery life, the XM5 delivers over 30 hours of playtime on a single charge, even with ANC activated. Fast charging via USB Type-C is also supported.
At this price, the XM5 offers significant savings compared to competitors like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and AirPods Max. If you're seeking premium noise-canceling headphones, this deal is a must-grab.
