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.
