Best noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noice cancelling, significantly better than my last Bose, which was not cheap. I already bought another for a relative, and another one when seeing how well it works on the airplane, will buy a bunch for his employees.

Dog ate my XM4, these are different but great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My dog literally tore my old xm4's to bits, with the money I got for her, I got these. I missing the folding of the ear cups, I miss the more practical case. Outside of that these headphones are pricey, but worth every penny, they just rock.

Better than MX4's esp, in the Noise-Canceling.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes ! An obvious improvement in Noise Canceling especially in the treble and mids. I hear almost next to nothing except for a faint hint of voices in the higher frequencies, very faint though. These are better than the MX4's. Lighter, more pronounced sound quality, ... clarity. No more flippy flop folding cans. These are perfect... hope they last long. :)

"underwhelming"
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own several sets of headphones including, Bowers & wilkins, Sennheiser, bose, bang & olufson, shure. I currently own sony xm-3's and had xm-4's. (which I sold for the xm-3's). This was not a downgrade, it was an upgrade. Just because there is a new version of something doesn't automaticlly make it better and that's the case with the xm-5. 1st I must say the noise cancelling in version 3 is as good as the latest edition. Also for the 400.00 price tag I cant hear any more detail from the new ones over the 3rd edition. If anything, fine details are muted. The bass is still muffled like version 4 and turning up the bass only muffles it more. The best part of these headphones are the comfort and phone call quality, which I don't buy headphones for anyway. I'm looking for sound quality, anc performance and comfort. Based on sound quality alone, I had to return these. Also, when I turned them on and put them on my head I kept smelling burning rubber. It was coming from the ear pads. Probably chemicals they use in packing from over seas. Not good, It made me sick. There are much better options at a cheaper price point. What comes to mind are the shure aonic 40's for 250.00. To each his own!

Posted .Hi rockme395, While we're glad that you like the comfort and phone call quality, we regret that these headphones had to be returned.

We regret that we can no longer help you troubleshoot the problems you've encountered. We apologize for the inconvenience and we hope that you will consider the XM5 in your future purchase.
