Besides offering impeccable sound quality and truly impressive noise cancellation, the 1000XM5s also feature a "quick attention" mode that lets you tune into what's happening around you without completely stopping your music. This makes it easier to hear gate change announcements or order a beverage on board a flight. Other perks include voice assistant support, up to 30 hours of battery life, crisp call clarity, and a sleek aesthetic. The only drawback is they don't fold up neatly into a convenient carrying case. But we're willing to overlook the bulkiness — especially at this new low price.
