Noise-cancelling over-ear headphones
Sony's flagship noise-cancelling headphones from 2022, replaced by the WH-1000XM6 in 2025. They pair strong noise cancellation with soft ear pads, but the ear cups do not fold.
-
Strong noise cancellation
Noise cancelling adjusts automatically and cuts engine, train and street noise strongly. The WH-1000XM6 blocks more.
-
Comfortable fit
The pads are soft synthetic leather and the headband is cushioned. Most reviewers found them comfortable for hours.
-
Ear cups do not fold
The ear cups swivel flat but do not fold inward, so the case is larger than the WH-1000XM6's. It flattens to about half its thickness when empty.
