In our comprehensive review of the Sony WH-1000XM5, Kevin Lee praised them, stating, "The Sony WH-1000XM5 is hands down the best sounding and most impressive noise-canceling headphones around. They demand a high premium, but the cost of audio excellence is well worth it with this pair of headphones."
The Sony WH-1000XM5 builds upon the success of its predecessor, the XM4, with significant enhancements in noise cancellation and comfort. The XM5 is equipped with a second processor and double the number of microphones dedicated to filtering out ambient noise. Additionally, the earcups have been redesigned to fit more snugly on the ear, improving passive noise isolation. The result is a noise-cancelling performance that surpasses the XM4 and most other headphones in its price range.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 also features a sleeker redesign with an updated headband adjustment mechanism. The band is now wider for better weight distribution, and the earcup padding is made of a luxurious synthetic leather material that's softer and more comfortable, allowing for extended wear. However, one minor drawback is that the XM5 can no longer be folded inward, only swiveled, making it less compact.
Despite these improvements, the Sony WH-1000XM5 maintains the excellent battery life of the XM4, offering over 30 hours on a single charge with ANC activated. It also supports fast charging via USB Type-C.
At this discounted price, the XM5 is significantly more affordable than its competitors, such as the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and the AirPods Max. If you're in the market for premium noise-cancelling headphones, this deal is not to be missed.
