Killer value, great features, no reason to buy xm5
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. There is no reason to buy the xm5, they didn’t make enough upgrades to justify the cost. Buy these and save the money. These are the best consumer grade headphones in their price category. I am a professional audio engineer and the sound quality and ANC is second to none without buying into a much higher tier.

Great upgrade from Bose QC 35 after app settings
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Long-time owner of the Bose QC 35 and I’m glad I took the leap. I owned the QC 35s for several years now, and it still works great. To me, the upgrade in going to this pair of Sony wireless headphones wasn’t there until I changed the configurations in the Sony app to my preference. After those configurations, the sound quality made a world of a difference. I still prefer the buttons on the Bose QC 35, and the part of the headphones that goes over the top of your head on the Bose feels more comfortable to me. I will still alternate between using both, but will definitely grab these Sony headphones when I really want to appreciate the music sound quality, especially the 360 reality audio song selections on Amazon Music.

Absolutely Amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been waiting for these since last year. It was a hunch. I was hoping they would announce these for 2020 because I didn’t want to buy any of the already existing top pairs in the market. The best ones were already out for a year to a couple. I figured waiting for the newest made more sense as it would be safe to assume that improvements have been made. That’s exactly what Sony did with these following the already highly successful WH-1000XM3s.

SOUND AMAZING, WORK AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these as a gift for my wife a while back and she has been using them so often that she sold her AirPods pros and will not head to a gym or coffee shop without them. I have the level below these that I bought around the same time and I'm honestly a little jealous whenever she tells me to listen to something on them.

Amazing Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing! I probably spent an hour in the store trying to convince myself that the Bose and Beats headphones were better than the Sony ones but my ears would not let me! I bought these to drown out the noise while studying and they work perfect. When you put your hand on the outside of the right speaker you can hear the noise outside of the headphones. Truly amazing!!!!!

Awesome Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the first pair of wireless headphone I have purchased. I love the sound quality and the noise cancelling technology. You can place your hand on the right side and hear if someone is talking to you without taking them off. The volume is controlled by swiping your finger up and down on the side. Highly recommend. If you see them on sale definitely buy one. I got an amazing deal on my at Christmas time.

The best you can buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth every penny, got this on sale for two seventy eight. -Noise cancelling 10/10 -Sound quality music 10/10 -Sound quality voice 8/10 (some distortion but that’s to be expected of most headphones) -Comfort 8/10 (perhaps I have a bigger head but it does clamp me a bit after 3-4hr use) -Style points 8/10 (personally I think the beats have flashier colors and more modern shape) In the current market as at august 2021, these are the best that money can buy before going into studio level headphones
