Our take on the Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Headphones

The WH-1000XM5 is Sony's flagship over-ear noise-cancelling headphone. It uses eight microphones and two processors for adaptive cancellation, and it has a lighter headband and softer earpads than the XM4. Sound is balanced with a bass boost option, and the app adds EQ, speak-to-chat and multipoint pairing. Reviewers rank its cancellation and call quality at the top of the class, though the fixed headband no longer folds and some find the clamp tight.
