Sony WH-1000XM5
Noise-cancelling cans that turn an open floor plan into white noise and a calendar invite into a podcast.

The Problem#
Slack pings, HVAC rumble, and loud sales calls derail flow state faster than flaky tests. You need a personal anechoic chamber without lugging planar magnetics.
The Specs#
The XM5 doubles down on ANC with eight mics, adaptive profiles, and absurd battery life. Multipoint pairing keeps you on both laptop and phone without re-pairing rituals. The lightweight build disappears on your head, and the touch controls are less finicky than earlier generations.
The Verdict#
Flip a switch and the office turns into library mode.
