Why it is worth it

In an open office or noisy aircraft, noise cancellation is not a luxury—it is a sanity saver. The XM5 offers class-leading silence, superb call quality via four beamforming microphones, and an exceptionally comfortable 30-hour battery life that makes them worth every penny of their premium price.

Best for

Commuters, remote workers, frequent flyers, and anyone seeking a silent workspace anywhere.

Good to know

Unlike the older XM4 model, the XM5 headphones do not fold into a compact shape; they lay flat in their included carrying case.

Editorial Review

The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones represent the pinnacle of consumer audio engineering. With two processors controlling eight microphones, they adapt noise cancellation dynamically based on your environment. The sound signature is rich and balanced, powered by a custom-designed 30mm driver unit. The design is a major departure from previous generations, sporting a slim, noiseless headband and comfortable synthetic leather earcups.
