Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless
Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus
Between the Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless and Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus, the Sony have much better noise cancelling and isolation performance. Out of the two, only the Sony support virtual surround sound. Their cushioning is softer, and use touch controls on both ear cups. Unlike the Sennheiser, they don't support USB audio and lack a dedicated ANC mode for windy conditions. The Sennheiser's battery lasts roughly twice as long as the Sony's. However, their noise cancelling is not as effective (except against wind), and only the right ear of the Sennheiser has touch controls.
