    Comfortable and high quality sound along side excellent active noise cancellation make these top tier wireless headphones. I’ve owned the Airpods Max in the past and surprisingly enough I like the way the XM5’s sound much better.

    The ones I was waiting for. I didn't think they were coming until August. My Bose 700 were stolen and so I wound up getting these and have to say, the Sony are better in sound isolation, sound quality using Tidal (3d audio, eq) and they cancel out everything! The hand over the right ear to amplify the outside world for you hear is an amazing touch. I use these for remote working all over town. I'm always in my headphones but can let in people as I want. A blessing for my social anxiety. The only spot that Bose has these beat is on the device switching. This may be a familiarity thing at this point. TBD

    I had the bows headphones, the most expensive ones I think around $430. They accidentally got washed. I thought the Bose were pretty good until then. I then just did a little research and ended up buying these Sony's. What a difference. Night and day in every aspect better than the Bose

    Compared to BOSE 700, Sony GH-4 Comfortable for hours of wearing, sound quality is good but too flat, noice cancelling is great. Built quality is good as well. A few times had an issues with connection and n/c, was resolved by turning off/on the headphones.

      Hi HugoH, We are thrilled to hear that you love everything about your WH-1000XM5. Having read your review regarding the low sound level, check the volume on the connected device as well as on the headphones. You may also play different song with different quality to further isolate the issue. High-quality songs will give you louder audio. From there, you can use the Sony sound connect app to adjust the sound to your liking. Make sure to update the firmware of the headphones by performing a software update. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US
