If you were disappointed with Sony’s WH-1000XM4 — considered by many to be the best over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation — because of their dated design that didn’t change much from previous models, you’re gonna love the new WH-1000XM5.
For the fifth-gen ANC headphones, Sony redesigned everything — inside and out. I’ve been wearing the WH-1000XM5 for about a week and a half nonstop and let me tell you: These are really friggin’ light and really comfortable for long hours of wear.
