The WH-1000XM5 offers 30 hours of battery life, industry-leading noise cancellation, and comes with a handy carrying case for easy transportation. Amazon also offers the headphones in four colours: black, midnight blue, silver, and smoky pink – though the prices vary depending on the colour.
According to the product description, there are four microphones on each earcup meaning “unwanted sound is eliminated more accurately”. The headphones offer “luxury comfort” with the “plush cushions cradling the ears” and the adjustable headband “ensuring a tailored fit”.
Shoppers have praised the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for their “excellent” sound quality and noise-cancelling. One reviewer enthusiastically endorsed the product, stating: “Having tried a lot of headphones over the years, I can say the Sony WH-1000XM5 delivers one of the best audio experiences available, which is why they still deserve five stars from me.”
This reviewer went on to elaborate: “The audio quality is exceptional, the battery life is fantastic, and while some have had issues with durability, I’ve found mine to be reliably sturdy. If you want high-end sound quality and a solid overall performance, the XM5s are a great choice, even with a few minor flaws.”
Another person wrote: “I can wear these all day – the soft headphone cups are very comfortable and I do not feel the strap at all. The sound quality is excellent.”
While they have a 4.4 rating on Amazon from over 9,000 reviews, some users did point out drawbacks. One person said they “weren’t the most comfortable” to wear, while another mentioned that the noise-cancelling feature, while effective, wasn’t entirely “world blocking”.
