Sennheiser HD 800 S vs Sony WH 1000xm5

Our take: In daily use the HD 800S feels like a precision instrument once paired with a good amp, revealing micro-details in classical recordings that the XM5 smooths over. The Sony folds flat into a bag and blocks subway noise instantly, but its closed cups create a more intimate and less airy presentation during long flights.
