Better than all others
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own xm3 and still use it but this new model 5 is simply better at noise canceling. It is ideal for traveling. Unfortunately, that is not my major use. Pros. Best sound isolation i have tried. I thought that my xm3's where great, this is much better. Being able to pair with 2 or more devices at a time is what originally had me try them. It works great for that. I have them connected to phone, tablet and computer. Auto switching when sound is heard on each device. The ear pads are larger but thinner than early models. Better fit for me. That is totally a subjective veiw. Some don't like that, others do Cons.. greatest con, the lack of control over sound isolation. Good for traveling which helps you hear important voices but terrible for when you want silence, which is why i use them. Sometimes the auto shut-off of noise canceling if i cough or say something when i had disabled that feature is really annoying when I'm in a very loud area, like mowing my lawn. I can not get the headphones to cancel out voice at all. With the model 3 you could set voice canceling but with this model 5 you can not. I can no longer pair my model 3 with my phone, the sony app refuses to connect. Still waiting for an answer from them. Ok, lest bad thing but very important. Normally, when you take off your headphones, you either put them around your neck or lay them down with the pads close to your body or down toward the table. The model 5 will only fold forward if you loop them around your neck so the ear pads are pointed away from you, open to anything that could get in them. Dirt, water, bugs, people sneezing, whatever. So, if you don't want your headphones collecting these things, you can not put them around your neck. You must take them all the way off and find a way to protect them because they will not fold together either. Overall, I love them. A little annoying to take care of them but I find it worth it for their abilities.

Good headphones for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the Apple AirPods Max for the last 2 years and noise cancelling of that headphones is amazing. Unfortunately, lost my headphones and started looking for alternative. I auditioned the M5 from my casual ears, music and movie audio is comparable to the Max. The noise cancelling though is I found a bit weaker than the Max. I do love the option to cover the right cup and you'll instantly hear your surroundings ambient sound. Overall, with being cheaper than the AirPods max, this is a great headphones

It doesn’t push down on your hair, the boise cancellation is really good, and the touch pad comes in handy a lot. I’ve had it for around 1 year now and no issues. I also love how you can connect it to multiple electronics at once.
