Proof that headphones are evolving very, very well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound (well, of course), but sound dampening also works like a charm. You're shut off from construction sites, other passengers on board planes, trains, buses. Love the ability to cup my hand over the right 'phone and instantly my music turns down and I'm able to speak to someone who's addressing me. No fumbling.

Comfortable and Sounds Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality in feel and sound. Great features like speak to chat, where they stop playing if you start talking and then resume in as little as 15 seconds. App was clunky for me to use at first, but with practice became easier. It analyzed a picture of my ear and then the sound got better based off the picture...WOW!

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these headphones for work in an open floor plan. The noise cancellation at work and on airplanes is incredible. I’ve had some synching with my phone, but I don’t really care about that.

Great Headphones with a Few Minor Cons
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Pros: They are comfortable, look great, sound proofing is future tech, and produce amazing sound quality that can be manipulated in high detail on the app. Cons: - Highly susceptible to water damage. Wore them for 5 minutes in the rain and the board fried so get that protection plan! - The app, while it does it's job well, is kind of wonky and not very user friendly.

Excellent wireless headphones.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent pair of headphones for working in a noisy office. Bluetooth functionality is easy to use. Noise cancelling muffles the sound without completely muting everything, making it possible for people to get my attention while still not being distracted by other sounds nearby.

Get these headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First over the head earphones I have had since 2010. I love them. I cannot hear anything while walking down the streets of NYC. Only complaint is that people have a hard time hearing me on calls. May just be a setting.

XM4 Bluetooth with LDAC is amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you start using the XM4's with the Bluetooth LDAC codec they transform into a hifi wireless delight. Im using the hifi Tidal streaming service for maximum effect. Im not an audiophile expert, but OMG they sound good. Right now Im hearing the "Alice in Chains MTV unplugged" in Tidal and my ears are in that room.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good. If you have AirPods Pro the noice cancellation on these are about 25% better(in my opinion). AirPods Pro have an overall more clearer sound while these ones tend to sound more cloudy BUT they are one of the clearest over-the-ear headphones I’ve ever owned. They are more bass heavy than AirPods but not as much i would want them to be. In fact, I wouldn’t even categorize them as bass heavy at all even with the equalizer. Basically they give you a nice overall sound.

Too big for my head
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought the noise canceling would help solve my working from home issue. It helps some. I wish I could control the headphones through my computer. I have to be connected to my computer for zoom. It takes time to stop connect to my phone, unconnect my phone and then reconnect my computer.

For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Craig
