Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones ($348, originally $398)
From workouts and lounging to traveling and daily commutes, Sony's WH-1000XM5 headphones are built to be a part of your everyday life with features like a 30-hour battery, the ability to switch between devices, take calls hands-free, and automatically pause your audio when it detects you in conversation. What makes these unique is the product's smart noise-canceling feature, which learns your routine and switches from active noise cancelation to ambient sound when appropriate.
Editor Quote: "The noise cancelation on these headphones is also truly one of the best on the market — there are times when I don't even need to play audio and the headphones still block out the noise pollution of my environment," says one of our editor's in her in-depth review of the Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones.
These headphones are an upgraded version of the Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Canceling Overhead Bluetooth Wireless Headphones ($278, originally $348), which are an investment must have for Blume cofounder Taran Gatrora.
