Read our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM5

Beats have taken so much of the consumer audio market share that I don’t even need to say “headphones” for you to know what I’m talking about. Good job in that regard, Beats. But I’m here today to test how they stack up against our top pick: the Sony WH-1000XM5. Sony’s latest noise canceling headphones had all of us impressed here at Moon Audio, which is saying a lot for an under-$400 headphone.

My dad told me to be responsible and get a job that would allow me to finance my passion for music. Well, I did. That's why I spend all day in a proverbial candy store for music lovers. It's a dream job really.

Ricky Kovacs is a performer at heart but loves to bring his passion and experience with music to others. With a background in both politics and religion, Ricky has a knack for writing about divisive topics - which is why at the end of the day he loves writing about the one thing that brings us all together: music. Outside of Moon Audio, Ricky enjoys performing music in his band, recording, video games, virtual photography, reading, traveling, partaking in the finest scotch, and spending time with his wife, newborn, and doggy.
