SonyWH-1000XM5 Premium Noise Canceling Headphones, Auto NC Optimizer, 30-Hour Battery, Alexa Voice Control, Silver

Loving these headphones so much! They are soooo comfortable. I had a pair of Beats headphones & I could seriously only wear them for 20 minutes before my ears starting hurting. I have a lot of piercings as well, so any pressure on my ears from headphones is really uncomfortable. They fit over my whole ear and are so soft. Battery life is awesome, it lasts so long. The charging cable is so short, like 6 or 7 inches. You do have to download an app in order to connect the bluetooth to your phone which feels unnecessary to have an app that I don't use, but have to have in order to connect to my phone. But all to say, I am so happy with this purchas!

With up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC on, and intuitive touch controls, the WH-1000XM5 is engineered for both the audiophile and the frequent traveler.One of the standout features is the advanced noise cancellation, which uses multiple microphones and a sophisticated algorithm to adapt to your environment, whether you're on a noisy train or in a bustling café. The Sony Headphones Connect app further enhances usability, allowing for personalized sound settings, including an adaptive sound control that adjusts based on your location or activity. Additionally, the integration of voice assistants and the ability to handle calls with remarkable clarity make these headphones a versatile companion for any scenario. While the price tag is on the higher side, the value delivered through comfort, sound quality, and noise cancellation technology positions the WH-1000XM5 as a leader in its category. The only minor critique might be the non-foldable design, which slightly impacts portability, but the trade-off in comfort and performance makes it a negligible concern for most. This is a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations, cementing Sony's reputation at the forefront of audio innovation.

Okay I have to admit when I first saw these things in Best buy I thought they were the ugliest thing ever but honestly I think it was just the lighting there. They're actually some really nice looking headphones.Sound- these are absolutely incredible I'm hearing notes and backup singers and different nuances in music I didn't know existed and I've tried four or five different of the top line pairs including the JBLs, the boses, and the studio beats pro.These absolutey beat every other pair I tried and it wasn't even close. If I had to rate them in order these will be number one, The beats pro would come in at number two, The JBLs were number three and bose would be dead last.Comfort: I can wear these all day with no problem My ears will not be hurting the headphones themselves are very plush and comfortable and I have a smaller head in comparison to a lot of the headphones I've tried and the adjustment sizes are really great no matter what your head size is. The only downside is of how insulated I think the inner ear cuffs are because it will make your ear sweat after a while because it keeps your ears pretty toasty.And coming up on the number one reason why I bought these, these by far have the clearest sounding calls of all the headphones I've tried people on the other line can hear me clearly I can hear them clearly the Bluetooth syncs pretty effortlessly.Even the custom sound profiles that you can access during the app make it even better.The battery life is pretty good I can go pretty much 3 days 4 days without charging on one use I would have to say you probably can get a solid 24-30 hours runtime out of them.Literally the only thing that could be better on these is since they are made by Sony you would think they would hook up effortlessly to the PS5 and it does not which is really annoying considering it's the same company. You can still hook them up via audio jack into your controller and it works fine but I just think it's ridiculous that Sony will not let it be Bluetooth compatible to another Sony product like that.Overall even though it's pricey I think it's worth it and you're not going to do better than these headphones.Yes I actually own this product and I paid full price for them I am not a reviewer In fact I hardly ever come on here to review unless something's really great or something's really terrible.
