Researched pick

$329.99

Class-leading noise cancelling for flights and long commutes.

Still the benchmark: the cancelling is uncanny, calls are clear, and 30 hours means you charge it weekly rather than nightly.

What the reviewers say

Published reviews from around the web

“And as much as we’ve ragged on Sony’s terrible product names before, I think that at least with the 1000X series, people get it: these have always been among the very best noise-canceling headphones you can buy.”

The Verge· May 2022

“With new drivers, features, and design, the Sony WH-1000XM5 is an intriguing set of headphones among the flagship active noise canceling (ANC) devices on the market. It excels in travel or at the office, in particular.”

The predecessors to the Sony WH-1000XM5 were king of the hill, and this new headphone takes that crown.
