If the only headphones you’ve every used for listening to music are the earbuds that used to be freebies whenever you bought a new phone or the cheap ones they give away on airplanes, then I’m sorry but you’ve never really heard music. A quality pair of over-ear headphones have depth of sound that will have you hearing layers in every song you’ve never heard before. It’s kind of like if someone extremely nearsighted went all their life without glasses and then finally saw the world through 20/20 vision. The level of detail they’d be exposed to is similar to what its like to use a really good pair of headphones for the first time—except with sound.

Active Noise Cancellation
Noise cancellation is perhaps the best way to full immerse yourself into what you’re listening to. The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones’ two processors and eight built-in microphones work to take in and eliminate distracting background noises like a chatty coffeeshop or the whirring sounds of a plane turbine while flying. What you’re left with is just the sounds of your music, audiobook, or podcast you have queued up.
When it comes time you’d prefer to hear your surroundings again, you don’t need to take off the headphones. You can just flip transparency mode which will allow those outside sounds to filter in once again.
