Our take on the Sony WH-1000XM5 Over-Ear Headphones

The Sony WH-1000XM5 is Sony's flagship over-ear noise-cancelling headphone. It uses eight microphones and two processors for adaptive active noise cancelling, with 30 hours of battery life and Bluetooth wireless. It suits commuters, frequent flyers and remote workers who want strong noise cancelling and a light fit. Against the Bose QuietComfort Ultra it cancels a bit more low-frequency noise and lasts longer per charge, but it does not fold, so it packs bulkier. Reviewers rate its noise cancelling and call quality at the top of the class, while some miss the folding hinge of the XM4 and find the hinges plasticky.

What people mention

  • BatteryPraisedUsers report getting close to the rated 30 hours and quick top-ups from a short charge.
  • BuildCriticisedReviewers call the plastic headband and hinges less solid than the price implies.
  • FoldingCriticisedThe lack of a folding hinge makes the case bulky for bags, a step back from the XM4.
  • ControlsMixedTouch gestures work well for most, but some owners trigger them by accident.

Questions and answers

Is the WH-1000XM5 worth it over the XM4?
The XM5 cancels more noise, has clearer calls and a lighter fit. The XM4 folds and feels sturdier, so pick the XM4 if portability matters more than the extra quieting.
How does it compare with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra?
The Sony cancels slightly more low-frequency noise and lasts longer per charge. The Bose has a more premium feel and spatial audio, and it folds.
How long does the battery last?
Sony rates about 30 hours with noise cancelling on. Heavy use of calls and high volume shortens that, and a short charge gives several hours of playback.
Can I connect to two devices at once?
Yes. Multipoint pairing keeps it linked to two devices, such as a laptop and a phone, and switches between them.
Does it work wired?
Yes, with the included 3.5 mm cable, and it can run passively with the power off. The cable is the only wired option; there is no USB-C audio.
What is in the box?
The headphones, a carrying case, a 3.5 mm audio cable and a USB-C charging cable.
Where is the Sony WH-1000XM5 Over-Ear Headphones cheapest?
At Lowe's, for $281.99, as of our latest check.
