Sony WF-1000XM5.

Even with the WF-1000XM6 out, I still think the Sony WF-1000XM5 is the more well-rounded buy. The ANC is nearly unmatched, the memory foam tips isolate incredibly well, and you get a stacked feature set like multi-point, Google Fast Pair, LDAC, and a strong 8–12 hour battery.

Pros

+Nearly unmatched ANC performance
+Memory foam tips provide excellent passive isolation
+Warm, punchy sound with EQ customization in Sony app
+Multi-point connectivity and Google Fast Pair
+LDAC and spatial audio support
+Tiny wireless charging case
+Strong 8–12 hour battery life

Cons

-Microphone clarity for calls isn’t the best
-IPX4 water resistance could be higher
-Memory foam tips can feel too full for some ears
-High list price around $330
