These headphones almost have it all, the sound quality is excellent, the ANC is superb, and the fact adaptive pass through feature excels. My only issue is that they are not waterproof, and have the same issue that many headphones do with sweaty earcups, besides that they are excellent.

When you get them, download the app and tweak the eq. Without it they sound muffled and veiled; with a bit of mid and treble boost, these sound excellent. The ANC is as good as ever, the build quality light but strong, the comfort is the best.

Great pair of headphones. Incredibly comfortable to wear, noise cancellation is amazing and the adaptive sound control is superb. Only gripe is having to download and use the headphones app but it does mean getting to change the equalisers. The actual audio quality is phenomenal.

This headphones solved for me a couple of issues that I had before with AirPods Pro 2. I mean the poor quality of microphone in a video/audio call even in FaceTime, and battery life. And WH-1000XM5 is an amazingly lightweight.

I had xm3 before upgrasing to xm5 and i'm glad i did. I thought it will be a problem xm5 don't fold but it's not at all. Sound quality is better and noice cancelling is improved. I've read lots of reviews that travel case is huge but it's not true. It's just a bit bigger than xm3

Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are a game-changer. Killer noise-canceling, comfy for all-day use, and the sound quality is top-notch. 30-hour battery life is a big win. Adaptive Sound Control and voice assistants add to the convenience. Worth every penny.

Not much of an improvement on the XM4, but these are excellent headphones. Comfortable and stay on my head whilst training which I didn’t expect nor had an expectation for. They are expensive, price can really only be justified for the new style as the XM4 are also excellent headphones.
