It can be difficult to find a pair of noise-canceling headphones that are actually noise-canceling quality. Since my tolerance for snoring and crying infants is waning, I’ve been looking for a pair for quite some time. I was curious to try out the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Premium Noise Canceling Overhead Headphones after hearing Blume cofounder Taran Ghatrora gush about them. Because of the 360-degree sound, she told POPSUGAR, “I feel like I can literally become one with my music with these headphones, like one with my Spotify library.”
When Sony announced a new and improved model of her preferred headphones just as I was about to make the purchase, I knew I had to seize the opportunity to try them out.It can be difficult to find a pair of noise-canceling headphones that are actually noise-canceling quality.

I advise against dismissing the ambient sound mode because I have accidentally missed a subway stop when too engrossed in a podcast I was listening to on these headphones. The sound quality of the WH-1000XM5 headphones is unmatched; no matter what I’m listening to, whether it’s an exciting podcast or a playlist of lively music, I become interested right away. For a fully immersive experience, the bass, treble, and clarity are all properly tuned.
The WH-1000XM5 headphones from Sony include a ton of additional fun capabilities that are meant to simplify your life. I can easily listen to music on my laptop and answer a call on my phone without removing my headphones because they feature a multipoint connection, for example.
Speaking of calls, you can make them hands-free and get crystal-clear audio on both ends thanks to the four microphones. The audio will halt as soon as you take these headphones off or begin speaking thanks to their superior intelligence. Also, they contain touch controls on the left side that allow you to rapidly double-tap to play and pause, swipe back or forward to skip, rewind, or fast-forward, and up or down to increase or decrease volume. Even better, you can configure the controllers to communicate with your preferred smart voice assistant. You may also completely customize your experience with the companion app.
