Never a let down
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Throughout my time using these headphones I’ve never had any trouble with them. Even through the extensive use and beatings, it still manages to produce the best quality sound until the end.

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.

Posted .Hi Noneya, Thanks for the feedback. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. 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

Great for the gym
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these and the bose 700 to test out at the gym. The sonys had more bass to where you feel your cheeks vibrating. When someone talks to me at the gym and i start to speak the music stops so i can have a conversation which is really convenient. The material is real good quality.

Noise cancellation for the win
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never appreciated noise cancellation until I bought these headphones. Whether I was on a plane, on a trail, walking around or working out there has never been a time where I regretted this purchase.

Excellent product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product, does exactly what it claims. Great noise cancelling, effective in environments like airports or cafes, but still allows you to hear announcements that are being made. Fast charging with USB-C, multipoint functionality makes connecting to 2 different sources a breeze. No major complaints.

Outstanding
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding purchase, these have been the standard for a few years and perform as well as the newer XM-5 without a few of the bells and whistles. But at 1/2 the price.

GREAT product
||Posted .

She wore them one night while watching Netflix on her laptop and she LOVED them. She wished she'd had them on the airplane next to the crying baby....

Sound Quality? Meh.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From the title of this review, it probably sounds like I hate this headphone. No. I completely understand the purpose it serves under the factor of convenience. The noise-cancellation is fantastic, the call microphones are alright, and the fit and comfort are out of this world, though slightly clampy for a big head like me. What I dislike, however, is how meh and uninspired the sound quality is. I would hope from a headphone this expensive that the sound would at least be much more clear and crisp. Instead, the XM4 has this awful muddyness to it. Personally, I find it to be unbearable, however your mileage may vary, when headphones are all bass. And the XM4's really are just mud and bass. Perhaps this headphone isn't aimed at me, but still, I would love a pair of good travel headphones that don't sound like being drowned underwater while your favorite music plays. If you are someone who isn't very keen or just doesn't care about sound as much as convenience and comfort, these are for you. I completely understand that side, and I would recommend them for commutes. But general listening, you can do way better.
