At Audio Advice, we are big fans of @MarkLevinson . In 1972, they cracked the code of pure audio playback by hand-building stereo components that overcame every known limitation on sound reproduction.
That was 50 years ago - and since then, they have created a class of their own through their consistent output of the best sounding, longest-lasting, most intuitive audio/video components that are as gorgeous as they are meticulously crafted. The sound that has been 50 years in the making is now available to go anywhere, revealing hidden details of hi-res audio now available through streaming services - on the go or at home.
As a leader in luxury audio since 1972, № 5909 is Mark Levinson’s first high-resolution wireless headphones. № 5909 is a durable and lightweight pair of closed-back headphones that feature Mark Levinson’s Adaptive Active Noise Canceling (ANC).

Those vs h95?
Thank you for taking the time to review our headphones. We are happy to hear that our dedication and passion to build the finest premium wireless headphones with ANC is being appreciated. Your detailed review is spot on. There was one other convenience feature worth mentioning about our headphones. They offer Multipoint Bluetooth connectivity which allows it to connect to your smart phone for streaming music and your laptop, simultaneously, for your next virtual meeting making it a great tool for audio enthusasts who work from their home or office. Enjoy the № 5909.
Thanks for sharing!
@@AudioAdvice how does the ANC compare to likely candidates - Bose and Sony? While not chief criteria, using for peace and quiet is a nice to have. What testing has been done here to qualify the ANC effectiveness?
@@brentgaynor5232 When we set out to build the best headphones we knew that ANC was a criteria that we needed to be best at. We looked at every ANC chip set available and chose to use one that had not yet been released to the industry.
As you may know, Harman has a world-class research and development team called HarmanX that has the testing equipment to measure any type of headphone or earphone. We can measure Frequency Responses and ANC on all headphones. We have been measuring headphones from hundreds of suppliers for many years.
We wanted our No5909 positioned as the best headphone for travel which meant that we had to have the best ANC performance. We had our ears set to surpass the performance of Sony's best ANC headphones which were considered the industry's finest. The measurements we took on our No5909 confirmed we chose the right ANC chip for our headphones. This chip set also allows for our engineers to keep improving the ANC performance and then push a firmware update to owners of the No5909 so they can update their headphones via our Mobile App.
At Mark Levinson, we are committed to using Science and Subjective Listening to build the finest audio products possible and we believe we continued that tradition with our No5909. I hope I answered your question. 😀
@@brentgaynor5232 Brent, great question, Craig, who did the video and testing is on vacation, we will let you know when he gets back on Monday.
@@brentgaynor5232 In terms of low-frequency noises, like the low-end “hum” of cars, or even trains passing by, the № 5909 performed well and better than expected. We found them on par with many of the best noise-canceling headphones on the market, including Sony and Bose. More thorough direct testing is needed, and we have another video that directly compares the B&W PX7 with the best noise canceling headphones on the market here: audioadvice.io/carboncomparison however that video came out before the Mark Levinson 5909 was released. We may update that article and video later now that the 5909 has been released for another direct comparison sequal, so stay tuned for that and be sure to subscribe so do not miss our comparison. Until that video comes out, we can say that we were very impressed by how well the № 5909 canceled out high-frequency sounds like honking cars, sirens, and people chatting in a busy urban downtown setting. We hope that helps and thanks for watching.
They look understated and luxurious. I'd expect nothing less from Mark Levinson.
Thanks Marty!
After watching this video, who wouldn't want to own a pair of these headphones! Amazing, in-depth review.
Thanks very much, we appreciate your comments
Well its an advertisement, so thats kind of the point.
Can’t wait to try these out!
You should!
It’s good to see Levinson diversifying into a growing market. I’ve been an audiophile and a Levinson proponent for over 25 years. Their gear is extremely well made with intrinsic proprietary design and cutting edge sound reproduction and technology and a good warranty. I recently rebuilt my digital front end and amps and was searching for a high-end wireless headphone other than my Sonys, that I could travel with and yet plug into my No. 360s for wired sound. Your comprehensive review has helped me make my decision. I’m gonna to audition a pair of No. 5909’s. Want to see how they compare to leading wired units such as Sennheiser and Grado. In the past, you had to stay at home to listen to audiophile quality headphones. Since wireless has emerged, it makes sense to integrate the high-end into blue tooth and Levinson is leading the way. Thanks for the review.
Thanks very much for sharing. We appreciate your comments. We’ve been a Mark Levinson dealer since the 1980s and love the sound and build quality.
@@AudioAdvice Levinson is the best. Can’t wait to get my 336 back from Pyramid - being totally rebuilt. Gonna be awesome
@@georgiafan6618 Wow, that is a classic model! Pyramid does a good job on refurbs, Levinson has used them for decades. You will be happy.
@@AudioAdvice Pyramid rebuilt all of my gear. Have a Proceed HPA3 - mint shape - new caps - sounds amazing. Each amp runs on its own dedicated 20A line. Huge difference when I did that - cheap upgrade. 💪
@@georgiafan6618 Those were great amps, we still have several clients with them in service. Agree on the dedicated, there is so much online chatter that you don't need to do dedicated, but the proof is in the listening and it's very inexpensive compared to the price of other upgrades.
Just pre-ordered these!
Awesome, hope you enjoy them
Thank you for this review. After I saw it I ordered the Mark Levinson No 5909 and I’m really excited how they will be.
Thank you, we hope you enjoy the headphones
Tim - did you receive your headphones? If so, how are they? Please let us know what you think and how they sound. Hope you’re well, Dave
@@daveinseattle Hi David, Yes I received them last week and they are really Great. I love the sound, for me the sound is perfect and of course the sound of Headphones are always a personnel thing. I like the balance between the heights and the basses and also the ANC is very good. I know the ANC of the Apple Air Pods Max are better, but the ANC of the Mark Levinson No 5909 are smoother and I love it. Even the whole feeling of the Headphone is so great and pleasent to wear them. I love them and the Mark Levinson is every Euro worth.
Very informative!
Glad you think so!
Brilliant review
Thanks for watching our review Taylor!
These look great!
Thank you!
I think these are the first wireless headphone with Beryllium drivers. I'm normally a wired headphone kind of person but these are very cool.
Thanks for sharing
Nope, Master & Dynamic did it first with their MW65 wireless active noice cancelling headphones and MW50+ which was the first ones. The MW08 ANC earbuds also use beryllium drivers.
They are coated with beryllium. Not total

He makes me feel like I am a normal person when everyone calls me crazy when I spend the money I don't have for the love of music.
I wish if he talked about the sound quality a little bit more and may be a very quick comparison with common headphones like Sony's XM4's or Bose 700's although I know it is better than these one's but still
Cheers!
Thank you! We appreciate you sharing your comments.
Some others are also asking the same, so here is a more thorough impression: Regarding sound quality, the 5909 has a neutral sound profile, meaning compared to the Sony WH-1000XM4 & Bose 700, the sound quality of the 5909 will be a lot closer to the way the artist intended it to sound. The Sony XM4's have great bass that will appeal to bass heads who listen to a lot of bass heavy music. If you listen to a lot of music with a lot of natural instruments like classical, Jazz or even progressive rock music, the 5909 will be a better fit in terms of listening style. In terms of noise-cancellation, the Sony XM4 sets an industry standard, however, the № 5909 performed well and better than expected. We found them on par with many of the best noise-canceling headphones on the market, including Sony and Bose. If you'd like to learn more about our impression of the new Mark Levinson 5909, check out our full-written article for more: audioadvice.io/MLNo5909 We also have another detailed review on the Sony XM4 here: audioadvice.io/sonyxm4 and if you'd like to know more about the best headphones to buy for your listening style, then check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/O4wBiX7OyOI/v-deo.html We hope these resources help and thanks for watching.
Very detailed review for sure… but I would have liked to hear you they handle while long walks in the park, hiking, running, working out, etc.
We may do a follow up to this once we’ve spent more time with them. Thanks for watching
Is this a review or just a paid ad? For instance, did you test the battery yourself? Are there really no cons for these headphones?
@Audio Advice Tnx for the great review. How would you compare this headphone to B&O H95?
Sorry, we are not a B&O dealer and have not heard them. Thanks for watching
What did you end up purchasing and why? Any issues thus far?
Brilliant!
Thanks Eric!
I Love headphones. I have a pair of Focal . Just amazing.
You are in good company. We LOVE listening to music with headphones too. if you'd like to know more about listening styles and the best headphones to buy for the type of music you enjoy, then check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/O4wBiX7OyOI/v-deo.html We hope this resource helps and thanks for watching.
@@AudioAdvice I will .Great thank you. check for my Resume on the site :)
How do these compare to the B&O Beoplay H95?
Sorry, we have not heard those B&O models. Thanks for watching
Great video 😎👍🏼 I can’t get these headphones to pair with the Bluetooth on my Macbook though 🤷🏻♂️ - have tried everything… ??
Thanks! We had no connectivity issues in our testing. You may want to reach out to our experts at audioadvice.com to see if they can help troubleshoot the problem.
I love these and am gonna get a pair when I can.
We hope you really enjoy them when you get a pair
Thanks but what is the brand of back pack that you show in the video thanks great headphone by the way but expensive I stick with m'y px7 until got enough money to spend
Thanks for the question! The water-resistant tech backpack is made by Incase, but it was purchased back in 2014 by the reviewer in this video, so we imagine his model is likely discontinued? It's a great tech pack, but if you check Incase's official website for their updated product catalog, they might have come out with a similar and better backpack by now. We hope that helps and yes both the ML No 5909's and the B&W PX7's are fantastic noise-cancelling headphones. Thanks for watching!
Any issues with the ML5909 Headband? I heard it falls apart at the stitching. It may stop me buying. Thankyou
We have not seen that, but anything is possible. Harman does have good warranty support
Why no aptx lossless?
Sounds like awesome headphones already got AirPods max I haven’t seen mark lebinsons in any stores
They are pretty hard to find. www.audioadvice.com/mark-levinson-5909-premium-high-resolution-wireless-anc-headphones Thanks for watching
Woah! 😮 Mark Levinson made a headphone?! 🤯
Yes, they are a true luxury product. Thanks for watching
Are these miles ahead of Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless in terms of sound quality?, I currently have them as my main headphones for wireless/USBC wired use.
We have not heard those. Sorry. Thanks for watching
For £1000 they won't be used wireless if they sound great and enjoyable then I may get a DAC amplifier for this thing because I want decent volume all these Bluetooth sound way too quiet I mean Irs hard to rock and roll to bat out of hell a 80db on the xm5 on max volume it sucks get that upto 100db and rock and roll starts to shine thats why for £1000 Ile be sending a extra £500 on a ifi DAC amplifier just to get the best out of it and no drop outs due to Bluetooth aswel
@@jonathanoxlade4252 I have numerous wireless headphones yes it's a addiction 😂 I find the volume acceptable, some very loud indeed, the PSB M4U8 is very loud, this headphone hits pretty hard and the sound it produces is quite good , but I don't like the build and comfort level, Im not really a fan of Sonys wireless headphones I have a Xm3 which is acceptable as travelling noise cancelling headphone but I find the sound it produces is to processed, to digital if that makes sense, the B&W P7 wireless is old but sounds better, the Amiron wireless are my overall favourite so far they have no noise cancelling though and are a tad bit bulky but comfort is superior and I find the sound quality Much better more realistic, with that all said 😂 I'll probably Still pick up these Mark Ls.
I'd love your feedback comparing these to the Sony WH-1000XM4.

Interesting review of these new headphones. I feel like you spent the first 8.5 minutes talking about these headphones like they were a fashion accessory. Lots of information about the looks, the materials, the "luxury" elements of the headphones. It will be interesting to see additional reviews about how these headphones sound. I suspect these headphones might be a tough sell. There's a niche market for these headphones. I think audiophiles who are willing to spend $1000 on a headphone will look elsewhere. I think the audiophiles will be more likely to invest $1000 in a wired headphone from Focal, Abyss, etc. People who want a travel headphone will likely just buy Bose or Airpods Max if they are in the Apple ecosystem. It seems like the only wired connection on the No. 5909 is a USB-C port, is that correct? If so, when using the 5909 wired from an analog source (the 3.5 mm to USB-C cable) doesn't that mean the headphone is converting the analog signal to digital in the headphone and then back to analog again for playback?
Well put, these are a very nice luxury product, but for pure audio the Focal Clear MG is much better, but not wireless. Thanks for watching
Hi again Todd. We wanted to make sure we checked as many boxes as we can , so here is another followup answer to your question. The USB-C port is capable of both charging the headphones and passing hi-res audio through the wired connection without conversion which will likely appeal to audiophiles. It’s important to note, Mark Levinson is one of the few that make the USB-C port capable of both charging and passing hi-res audio through the wired connection. Since many people will be using these on the go with a phone or a laptop that no longer includes a 3.5mm jack, we see the USB-C audio cable as an added convenience for those wanting the best audio quality from their laptops. In the box, there is also a long 4-meter USB-C to 3.5mm headphone cable, another shorter USB-C to 3.5mm headphone cable, and one USB-C hi res audio/charging cable to use the headphones in passive mode for hi res music without any conversion like we mentioned above. For audiophiles who travel and want a noise canceling headphone with a neutral sound, the 5909's custom Beryllium drivers offer something that presents music as close to the way the artist intended like nothing else for the money. There is also a USB-C to USB-A adaptor for charging with laptops or charging bricks that have traditional USB-A ports, and almost every adapter you will ever need. Regarding the information we provided about how the 5909 looks, we do see this appealing to the luxury buyer who travels, since the build quality has been taken to such a high standard. After holding them and wearing them for several hours, the craftmanship and the way they look really cannot be understated. We hope we answered your questions. If you'd like to know more about how they perform and sound, you can check out all our listening tests in the full written article here: audioadvice.io/MLNo5909 or feel free to chat with one of our headphone experts at the audioadvice.io/aa-chat so we can help you find the right headphone for your listening style and your ergonomic situation. Thanks for watching!
@@AudioAdvice Thanks for your detailed response. I appreciate your commitment to supply all the details about this headphone. So, when connecting the headphones to a computer using the included USB-C to USB-C cable, does the computer pass digital audio to a DAC built into the headphone for the D>A conversion?
@@stnkpalm Thanks for hanging in there while we worked with Mark Levinson's engineering team to get your question answered. According to their engineers, the short answer is YES! There is a high-performance DAC built into the No5909 headphones. The longer answer is that the USB direct connection is only making the digital connection to the No5909. The internal DAC in the No5909 takes the signal from there. The DAC included in the No5909 is a very high-performing device allowing processing of various codecs including LDAC. A cool side-note is that the internal DAC can be bipassed if you prefer to use an external DAC instead. This application would use the no5909's Passive Mode using one of the proprietary 3.5mm to USB-C audio cables that comes with the No5909's, and then going into your DAC of choice, be it the one built-in to their PC device, pre-amp, or an external one such as an AudioQuest Dragonfly, etc. . . Really cool! We hope this answered your question. If you'd like to read more about the No5909 feel free to check out the full-written review here: www.audioadvice.com/mark-levinson-5909-premium-high-resolution-wireless-anc-headphones
@@AudioAdvice Thanks so much for your commitment to answering these questions for me and for your audience. It seems like a number of smart design and engineering choices were made in the design of this product. Being able to bypass the internal DAC is a nice feature that I believe audiophiles will appreciate. It would be interesting to learn more about the internal DAC and Amp. Another feature that would really set these headphones apart would be a replaceable battery. A replaceable battery would ensure owners can feel secure that they can continue to use these headphones for a long time. I would also love to see measurements of these headphones from a GRAS test rig.
They take their audio system found in higher trim Lexus vehicles and put it in a set of headphones. Honestly a nice use of $1000 if you have some lying around.
We agree and thanks for watching!
Own myself the PX7 from Bowers & Wilkins and consider myself impressed by them. After seeing these headphones from Mark Levinson though, I'm just as intrigued.
One big question. Are these THE best closed-ear wireless headphones on the market? That's what I'd want to know, if they surpass the already supreme PX7s.
The PX7 is also very good, we have not done a head to head comparison, but plan to. Thanks for watching
Great question. A lot of comments are asking similar questions comparing these to other noise canceling headphone models out there, so here is a more thorough impression on this: Regarding sound quality, the 5909 has a neutral sound profile, meaning compared to the Sony WH-1000XM4, Bose 700, the sound quality of the 5909 will be a lot closer to the way the artist intended it to sound. The B&W PX7s are also very natural sounding, however, the sound profile is slightly more musical, especially on the bass. If you listen to a lot of music with a lot of natural instruments like classical, Jazz or even progressive rock music, the PX7 will be great, however, if you want a noise canceling headphone that will let you hear the music as close to the way the artist intended it to sound, then the 5909 will be a better fit in terms of this listening style. Regarding noise-cancellation, we have another video comparing the PX7 to the best noise canceling headphones on the market.

It's an overly simplistic question. It's a function of what your needs are and how you prioritize them along with the sound signature you prefer. I also have the PX7 and love them but would not recommend them to certain people. It's a matter of taste. Not simply better or worse.
I prefer the sound signature of my ML5909 to my PX7. In particular the highs and mids are better represented. There is still some slight shrillness to very high notes but much much better than the px7 (not as good as the blessing 2 iems). I also find the px7 a little veiled in sound which is not an issue with the ML5909.
The PX7s have a nicer design imo though the build quality is very nice on ML7, I just don't think it's as pretty. I will say that the earpads on the ML 5909 are roomier and more plush with great passive isolation.
I haven't tried the px7 s2 but I hear that they made the tuning better. They also have a really nice design.
PX7 are bassy and muddy, I’d not put them as audiophile headphones
Wow, these look to be a fantastic, high end headphone! My Apple AirPods Pros are crying ;)
Thanks for sharing!
How come all reviewers seem to think that wireless is only for traveling etc? I use them mostly at my desk as I really hate being teathered :) Great review though!
Good point and thank you!
Are the batteries in these replaceable ? I would like to use them for a long time and batteries seem to be a point of failure for electronic
That is a good question. We will find out
@@AudioAdvice did you find out 😊?
@@mobteknik Thanks for the reminder. The battery is covered under the 2 year warranty and it can also be replaced later at a Harman service center.
@@AudioAdvice amazing, great news. I actually bought these just 2 hours ago. So looking forward to trying them out.
@@mobteknik We hope you enjoy them and better yet go them from Audio Advice to support our small business :)
This guy looks like one of Stephen King's Sleepwakers.
Mark Levinson is owned by Harmann who also own JBL, so who did create and build these. The original brand made only amps , Dacs and CD player( combos)
And preamps and phono preamps! We were one of their early dealers.
Hmm 🤔
These headphones must really be very good in music, ANC and others but frankly I do not see how they are more luxurious and beautiful than other high-end headphones on the market 🤷🏽♂️.
We agree there are other luxury headphones, but these are the best we have seen in the wireless category. Thanks for watching
Can customers change the battery in it when it dies? That's one thing that'd justify the high cost. May be more up front but cheaper than buying mid to expensive headphones every year because of the crappy throw away culture we have grown to accept.
And what kind of warranty do they offer?
Hi Geoff. Mark Levinson confirmed the No5909 are not serviceable. This is in line with other high-end brands making premium products with tighter tolerances required on the production line in order to deliver the most consistent build-quality with repeatable performance. Since they are not serviceable (similar to Apple) the No5909s are covered by a warranty (2 years), which offers a replacement program. Having said that, the build quality on the No5909s is exceptional and both Audio Advice and Mark Levinson's customer support will work directly with Audio Advice customers to troubleshoot and verify issues should one ever occur. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to one of our Mark Levinson chat experts because we would love to help you out: audioadvice.io/aa-chat Thanks for watching!

The person who did all the serious listening is out on vacation till Monday, we will let you know then.
My story is I bought Mark Levinson 5909 headphones. Very careful home use 1-2 times during the week. After 6 months, the leather parts around the head came off. The glue is bad. Now I have to look for a solution to this problem. Hey guys from Mark Levinson, how do you like this quality of headphones for over 1000 USD. The headphones sound great. The quality of the construction is terrible. I do not recommend it.
Sorry you had issues. If you purchased them from Audio Advice, we can help. If not, you should reach out to the dealer who provided them.
Don’t know what makes it has double the price than bowers&wilkins ps8
Nice fore blind people out there that wants clear buttons on the headphones even though I can handle the touch screen on the Bose headphones. For me the issue is the price but it costs more to get good quality. I have to live with the AirPods max for a while now.
We agree. Sometimes having a physical button is just the best experience overall. Thanks for watching!
I have to say the aesthetics of these headphones are quite unpleasant. The red stitching and shiny gloss earcups with the company name seem a bit tacky. I would have guessed these were mid- tier headphones based on the appearance.
If you buy headphones based on aesthetics, you are better off getting a Beats by Dre.
@@ilikealotofthings731 or Bowers and Wilkins, Bang & Olufsen, or Master & Dynamic...
I didn't suggest it was the only criteria but it's not an irrelevant criteria.
What a silly comment.

Nobody wants a over the ear noise canceling headphones because the wireless noise canceling buds are more practical
Many people do not like the feel of in ear headphones which is where these fit in. It’s all personal preference. Thanks for watching
This might be the most worthless review of a headphone I’ve ever seen. You focused mostly on build quality and comfort. Two of the lesser reasons one selects a headphone at this price range. You might want to familiarize yourself with a concept called “sound quality” and not how nicely the carry case fits in your backpack.
These headphones sound great but they are also built for someone who cares a lot about comfort and style.
@@AudioAdvice You can buy comfort and style at $350, at this price point only a serious audiophile would consider these with sound quality being paramount. If you feel your job is to speak of “luxurious” comfort and build over parameters of sound then why would anyone look to you when buying high end audio components?
ANC , Bluetooth = Trash never ever Hifi HighEnd
