What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Battery claims differ by operating mode: the listing gives 30 hours with noise cancelling on and up to 40 hours without it, it separately lists 30 Hours as battery life. The box list names “WH-1000XM5” despite this being the WH-1000XM6 listing, so confirm that item against the selected package. Water-repellent wording is not a stated immersion rating.

Customer feedback highlights sound quality and noise cancellation positively, with one customer noting a larger soundstage. Comfort, fit, value, design, reliability and connectivity are mixed: some find the headphones comfortable and well-fitting, while others report discomfort after two hours, connectivity is described as generally good but sometimes hit-and-miss. This matters for long travel or work sessions, despite the listing's cushioned over-ear design and noise-control features. The aggregate rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 1,991 ratings, but that score alone does not explain individual experiences.

Positive themes

Customers praise sound quality and noise cancellation.

Mixed feedback

Comfort and fit divide customers, including reports of discomfort after two hours.
Value and design receive mixed reactions, with some considering them overpriced or disliking the design.
Connectivity is described as generally good but can be hit-and-miss.
Reliability feedback is mixed.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the battery life?

The listing says 30 hours with noise cancelling on and up to 40 hours without it. It also gives a separate 30 Hours battery-life field, so treat the figures as mode-specific claims rather than one unconditional runtime.

Can these headphones be used with a cable?

Yes. The listing specifies a 3.5 mm jack as well as Bluetooth connectivity.

Can they connect to two devices at once?

The listing claims multipoint connection for two Bluetooth devices, including phones and computers.

What is included in the package?

The explicit contents list names a collapsible protective carry case, USB-C cable, “WH-1000XM5” and documentation. Because that model name conflicts with the WH-1000XM6 product identity, check the selected listing's package details.
