Warranty feels weak.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones till just after 2 years in with weekly to monthly use, the left ear up started making noise and became too annoying to use anymore, one year warranty doesnt seem long enough for a product this expensive.

Not as good as expected
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are okay. I expected more. For one they were uncomfortable compared to the xm3. The sound was slightly better but seemed like some songs sounded really good while others sounded terrible. I never notice that on the xm3. I couldn't wear them more than an hour without taking them off. Maybe it would have adjusted over time but not in two weeks. The bass seemed great on some songs but non existent on others. I suspect the range isn't as good as previous models even though it's cleaner it's just strange and makes for an inconsistent listening experience. Something else I noticed was way more detail but almost to much where I never heard it before in a song and it was distracting and didn't add to the music. An example is some songs have like what sounds like you are listening on vinyl. Some songs are made that way but it's over emphasized and stands out. Hard to explain but it's distracting and unpleasant to me. The mic for calls is noticably better but the lack of comfort and the inconsistent sound quality I gave them to my wife to use and took my xm3s back and will look for something else down the road. Disappointed in Sony for these. They used to only release the best but feel these are rushed or something and was a letdown.

Excellent headphone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I experimented between this and Airpods Max, and in the end, decided to keep the Airpods Max. However, XM5 is still an excellent headphone. The only couple of things I didn't like about it were the ear cushions (extremely thin and uncomfortable) and the overall plasticky build quality.
