Noise Cancellation
Noise cancellation is a must-have feature in any pair of headphones. The WH-1000XM5s don't disappoint and feature excellent active noise cancellation that blocks out the most annoying sounds in your surroundings. The headband is cushioned and curved to fit around your ears, sealing you off from the outside world by creating an acoustic envelope that blocks out low-frequency sounds such as air conditioning or background conversations.
Sony's noise canceling does an excellent job of filtering out higher-frequency sound, such as clanging dishware or other ambient conversations. However, there's a limit on the amount you can block out and a lot of it is due to the surrounding environment. The WH-1000XM5s can block out the constant sound of a jet engine but they won't be able to shut down a squealing brake, or a jolly conversation with your seatmate (that's why passive isolation is more useful).
There are a variety of settings you can choose from if you want to reduce noise even further. You can alter the EQ of the headphones by using the Headphones Connect App or a third-party equalizer. You can also use the programmable button on the left earcup to set three "favorite levels" to block out noise. There are 10 total ANC control levels and you can switch them on or off with the push of a button.
