Waited and watched atleast 1000 videos about product and comparison, finally bought this on offer for 23k. My listening experience is great and comfortable for me.
And this is my first premium headphone, so I can’t scale this 1 to 10, but from my side great for my usage, i played valorant with this and I had zero latency, that’s the best experience I ever had in this, since this is a bluetooth device.

I had been an AirPods Pro user and was always of the belief that they have the best music reproduction with lossless audio from apps like Apple Music. Was seriously wanting to try the XMs when the XM4 was launched but wasn’t happy with the reviews of mic quality as I generally take calls for more than 7 hours on my work days. But when XM5s came in was tempted to try them after the reviews paying more details on the improved mic quality. I wanted to give it a try and tried the music when I was in France in a store, but the sound quality was very poor since the store let me use it only with their wired audio source and said NO to try with my phone. Back in India I tried again once in a store using my phone and Apple Music and Boy o Boy I was proved wrong!!! I was simply blown over on how the headphones were clear with the Spatial Audio even with the default EQ setting. I’m not a bass heavy person but rather love the different tones and this is a Pro quality one in that. With the ANC microphones it was even a blessing that the call trials(both with MS Teams and Phone) I did were fantastic. Decided to grab this and ordered in Amazon when it was available for around 28K net with cashback and I would say this is the best investment I had made. The dual connectivity, monstrous battery back up, ANC combined with the best mic makes it a great headphone one can ever have. The size and case as most say as negative isn’t a problem at all. The build also is good and this is a keeper. If you are not worried about the budget and need a headphone that u can use for both work(calls) and music blindly go for this.. 👍🏻

I have been looking for some good over the ear headphones and seen so many good reviews of these. I decided to try them out and these are some amazing head phones! I recently had to travel and ended up wearing them for 6 hours straight!
Battery life: The battery was full and by the end of my travel it dropped to 85% so the battery life is outstanding.
Noise cancellation: It was really good and didn’t create too much pressure while on. Even when the headphones were off it did an amazing job of damping outside noise. Ex: I was by a VERY loud construction site and once I put on the headphones (turned off) it almost dampened the noise completely.
Ambient Mode: It’s nice, I will say that in some cases I didn’t really use it. For example if you are in a loud environment it will be extremely loud while on. Which makes sense as the point of AMB is to be aware of your surroundings but if you have sensory issues I would be mindful of it. When you do the quick ambient sound it’s really good and makes what you need to hear very clear. There is very little static noise but if you are listening closely it’s very faint.
Comfort: These are so comfortable and lightweight. Part of the reason I was having difficulty choosing over the ear headphones was because many were too heavy for my liking but when I wore these I forgot I had them on. I only had to adjust them once when it hit closer to the 5 hour mark. There is very little discomfort. My only thing is being that they are so light it feels like they can slip off easily sometimes. When you have them laying on your neck it can be a little uncomfortable at least for me. They landed on my collarbones so there was just hard plastic hitting my collarbones over a bit of time. But that is just me nit picking.
Few set backs: the storage of them is a little inconvenient or undesirable. I wish these could fold because the case is quite large and take ups a lot of space especially when you are traveling.
Overall: I have really enjoyed the experience with these headphones! I would really recommend these to someone who has auditory sensitivity like myself because they check a lot of boxes! There are only a few things that I wasn’t a huge fan of but that was like I said me nit picking.
A video that was very helpful in making this decision was by: This is Tech Today on YouTube, they really went in-depth of all the features while also comparing it to different nc/amb headphones!

The media could not be loaded.
O headphone é premium, apresentação, acessórios, emfim o produto é top, padrão Sony, qualidade Japonesa!
[...]Cancelamento de ruído não funciona perfeitamente pra sons muito agudos, ex: tenho periquitos australianos e com o NC ativado ainda da pra escutar o piado deles, porém se vc colocar uma música de fundo ai desaparece todos os sons ao redor e vc fica isolado.
Qualidade de som nas músicas é excelente, porém tenho um Astro A40 que uso no playstation e prefiro o som do Astro com a MixAmp tanto pra músicas como filmes e séries.
Em relação ao conforto achei confortável, dá pra usar por bastante tempo, porém achei o espaço para orelhas muito raso, as orelhas encostam e é oq faz ter que dar umas pausas, oq por exemplo não ocorre com o Astro A40 que o espaço é bem maior, mais confortável, a orelha não encosta e daria pra ficar o dia inteiro com ele, nesse quesito também gostaria de citar o Anker Life Q30 que era o headphone que usava antes desse, acho o Anker mais confórtável, embora perca no NC e qualidade sonora.
Por fim o investimento foi grande, mais nosso problema é a taxação e o real que não vale nada comparado com o dólar, espero que o headphone dure muito tempo, pois realizei a compra por conta do meu Anker Life Q30 com 1 ano e meio de uso parou de funcionar o Noise Cancel e descascou todo e abriu a parte da espuma, levando em conta que o Anker custa em medio R$ 400 e o Sony R$ 2500 espero que se reflita na durabilidade.

These are the best headphones from Sony. Previously I used Sony headphones but they’re entry-level headphones. I also used headphones from other brands like Sennheiser, One Audio and JBL but all of them are entry-level headphones. This is the first time I bought high-end headphones and I trust Sony. You can’t go wrong with Sony as per my experience. Coming to the headphones, I already knew that these were best. However, I researched thoroughly on YouTube and read many articles for almost 3 months before buying these. I want to get the best value for the price. These headphones are costly and I don’t want to go wrong with my purchase decision.
Build quality: These are made of high-quality plastic and feel lightweight and comfortable to wear for longer durations. The only thing is, that the headband is thin and hurts a little on my head after wearing it for a few hours. Just move or adjust it a little and I’m good to go for another hour.
Sound quality: It’s Sony, no need to brag about sound quality. Sony is known for sound clarity. Every small musical instrument is heard in great detail. I can’t forget my first experience of listening to music using these headphones. I’m blown away by the details and the clarity of sound.
Battery life: It is mentioned 30 hours. Seems to be true. Headphones will easily last up to two days of mixed usage.
Noise cancellation (N.C.): These headphones are my first experience with noise cancellation. When NC is turned on, it is silent. Zero noise. But after a few days, I realised that I could still hear voices from other people when they were shouting or talking loudly. It’s good not to completely block all sound.
Update on N.C.:
I want to address one thing people who are saying that NC is not good. I think they feel like that because of the adaptive NC feature in the Sony headphones app. Due to this feature, the level of Noise cancelling is adjusted automatically according to the surroundings. I know it doesn’t work 100% accurately every time. It works sort of 70 – 80 % accurately depending on the surroundings. That’s why some people complain that NC is not completely silent or perfect. Some are complaining there is no option to disable the adaptive NC feature. It is available in the Sony headphones app after the latest update. We can also manually disable the adaptive NC of headphones using the app. I mentioned these details because some people may not be aware of these features available in the headphones app.
Note: When NC is turned on, a sound pressure is created between ears and headphones. So there is a vacuum-like seal between ears and headphones and it blocks external sound. I’m not sure how NC works. This is the first time for me experienced noise cancellation. It was a shock and a surprise feeling when NC was on. My brother got scared due to this effect. I got used to it now. Check the Sony manual regarding the safety of NC. In the Sony Headphones Connect app, there is a safe listening setting. Please follow it and you don’t need to worry about your ears getting damaged due to headphones. I have attached screenshots of the same. Please check.
Final Verdict: I can say that these headphones are the best consumer headphones. Audiophile headphones are different that’s why I mentioned them as the best consumer headphones. Most people who use them will love them.

I’ve owned every version of Sony’s 1000X series since the WH-1000XM2, and with the XM5, Sony has taken a big step forward—not just in design, but in sound quality, noise cancellation, and comfort. This feels like the most mature and confident version of these flagship headphones yet.
The redesign is sleeker and more modern, with a smoother headband and slimmer ear cups. They feel incredibly light—noticeably lighter than the XM4—and the comfort is outstanding for long sessions. I can wear them for 4–6 hours without any pressure fatigue or heat buildup.
Noise cancelling is phenomenal. Sony’s new integrated processor and eight-mic system do an exceptional job filtering out both low-end rumbles and high-frequency distractions. I tested them on a flight, in a busy coffee shop, and even during vacuuming—and each time, the environment faded to near silence. The Auto NC Optimizer really works: it adjusts in real-time depending on your surroundings and even takes pressure changes (like cabin altitude) into account.
As for sound, Sony continues to deliver a clean, rich profile. The bass is deep but never muddy. Vocals come through naturally, and the instrument separation is excellent. Compared to the XM4, the XM5 has a slightly wider soundstage and better clarity in the mids and highs. It’s still fun and engaging, but more balanced than before.
Call quality has been improved dramatically. Even outdoors with wind or background chatter, my voice came through clearly. The microphones isolate your speech much better than past generations. People I spoke with couldn’t tell I was using wireless headphones.
Pairing is fast and seamless, and multi-device connection works flawlessly—I easily switch between my laptop and phone. Battery life remains rock solid at around 30 hours with ANC on, and it charges fast via USB-C.
If there’s any trade-off, it’s that the XM5 no longer folds inward like the XM4, which could be a consideration for travelers. But the new design feels more premium overall, and the included case is rigid and compact enough for most bags.
Simply put, Sony has refined nearly every aspect of what made their previous models great. The WH-1000XM5 is one of the best wireless ANC headphones on the market today. If you want a no-compromise listening experience—whether it’s for travel, work, or pure music enjoyment—this is an easy recommendation.
