- Sony has a new set of flagship noise canceling headphones.

And I know, we've made fun of Sony's awful product names

but I think when it comes to the 1000 X series,

These are among the very best noise canceling headphones

Sony's been competing for years against Bose

to win over frequent flyers and commuters,

and as more jobs move to this hybrid work model,

I think noise canceling headphones are essential

for peace and quiet, whether it's your real office

Sony's 1000 XM5s have a fresh design, cleaner sound

than the M4s, which are staying in the lineup.

and instead of arms that cradle the ear cups at both sides

there's now a stem that runs down the middle.

If you look at some of Sony's competition

or Bose's noise counseling headphones 700,

I think you can see where they got some inspiration.

but I'm not convinced, it looks very premium.

I twisted the hell outta these headphones

but for $400, I would've appreciated some nicer materials.

My Sennheiser Momentum 3 are just on a different level

of fit and finish, but you can also overdo it.

Some people would say the AirPods Max are way too heavy.

So clearly Sony favors comfort over a lavish design.

Both air cups still pivot and turn just like always,

But one thing Sony's new headphones can't do anymore

This is one of my biggest disappointments

instead of folding down for a convenient portability,

these headphones just lay flat in their case.

Whereas I had no issue putting the old case

the 1000 XM5s would not fit in that same slot.

So they had to go in the main compartment in my bag.

even Bose's case for the noise counseling headphones 700,

People travel with noise canceling headphones all the time.

with storage for the USBC and headphone cables.

One thing you won't find in the box anymore

and there are bigger changes here than you might expect.

in the 1000 XM4s to 30 millimeter drivers

But I can't think of the last time a pair of Sony headphones

sounded this different from their direct predecessors.

more detailed and cleanup that sometimes muddy base

They're less in your face and less potent out of the box.

Now those are not audio file terms, obviously

I've been doing a lot of comparisons with the same songs

And in most cases, I do prefer the new ones.

When I put on Spoon's new record, for example,

the M5s just sound more crisp and detailed.

But if I put on hip hop or dance or soul music
