Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones
The other half of the noise-cancelling argument. Slightly better sound, slightly less comfortable.
Our rating
4.7 out of 5
Marginally better sound and marginally better cancellation than the Bose, in a lighter frame that does not fold as flat. The app is genuinely good. Choose between these two on head shape and price on the day; there is no wrong answer.
