A Day In The Life With Sony WF-1000XM5 Headphones
WORK:
Transparency sounds a bit robotic
You can connect to two devices at once, but not with LDAC
My ears get hot after a bit
Comfortable while wearing though - super lightweight and the softest foam
They call this vegan leatherette which is a hilarious marketing term for synthetic fake leather, but regardless, its comfortable
Fantastic call quality
RELAX:
Still cannot play music via wired USBC playback
You can use them with the cable included, even when the headphones are off. If you turn them on, you get ANC and perhaps a slightly different sound profile, but it was hard to tell
App is outdated
Controls are all on the right ear, so it is easy to remember everything - very intuitive
MIC TEST IN WINDY/LOUD ENVIRONMENT
NFC
Google FastPair
No-plastic packaging
WORKOUT:
No water resistance rating, so I would rather not run with them in the rain
Ear cups snap in and are pretty easy to replace and new ones are about $20, so this is good!
They stayed on my head when lifting like benching and squatting - good
They stayed on my head when running - level 2 = good
They stayed on my head while doing burpees - level 3 = good
Ears might get hot - if you are sweaty, they will not stay on as well. I’m not a heavy sweater
Plenty loud with strong bass capabilities
Great simple gestures

Sony is dominating as a 3rd party headphone for your devices, not because they look great, but because they perform just as well as first-party headphones or sometimes better. The new Sony WH-1000XM5 are no exception as they doubled the processor and microphone for better noise canceling while keeping the same battery life. I just wish I didn't try the Sennheiser IE600.

Sony’s best headphones just got [a little] better 🎧
Sony’s new WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are the company’s most advanced to date — but also the most expensive at $400. For that money, you get a fresh design, upgraded sound, better active noise cancellation than ever, and improved voice call quality. But they're very similar to the 1000XM4s, giving Sony fans little reason to upgrade.
