Should you buy it?
Buy the WH-1000XM5 only well below its $399.99 launch price: you get Sony's strong ANC and 30 hours of battery (Sony claim), and reviewers still rate the sound highly. Skip it at full price, because the XM6 has replaced it. The cups swivel flat but don't fold up, so the case takes more bag space.
Commuters and flyers who want top-tier ANC at a big discount to the XM6.
Anyone who needs headphones that fold small, or who will pay near XM6 money.
