The XM5, which just hit shelves May 20, comes with longer battery life, more comfortable construction, larger audio drivers and a sophisticated new noise-cancelling system. The XM5s are the latest descendant of the groundbreaking WH-1000X, which helped change the game for consumer-facing high-end headphones with active noise cancelling, or ANC. The result is the WH-1000XM5, featuring an all-new design that's both sleeker and more comfortable than the XM4. The XM5s have been optimized for the format, and Sony includes s a trial subscription coupon with the headphones. Overall, the WH-1000MX5 headphones are winners, a strong competitor in the higher-end market for noise-cancelling, stylish, and great-sounding consumer headphones.
