Love them, no complaints!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After almost 2 months of daily use, I would say these headphones are worth it! The noise cancelling feature is fantastic, i ise it at work daily. It is convenient to have a button that turns off the noise cancelling for when coworkers come up to ask a quick question. I only need to charge them once every week and a half.

Excellent upgrade from WH-1000XM3
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned the WH-1000XM3 and the XM5s are a wonderful upgrade. The ANC is better than the old model without that pressurized feeling. Sound stage is great on the default eq settings but a little tweaking really makes these shine, especially with LDAC enabled on Android. It's a shame that apple users miss out on that feature. These headphones are also very comfortable, I've been wearing them 4-5 hours at a time without any issues.

Overall a great product!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality is well, but the headphones do not fit perfect because it is a little big for me personally when the headphones are on the lowest adjustable height but other than that it fits well and is very comfortable (I have one ear piercing on each side and it has not caused an issue even when I lay in bed with them on). It totally depends on your head size and shape. It is very lightweight and has many useful and cool features. The app is not the easiest to work at first but it just needs some getting used to. The transparency mode is not as good as the AirPod max but is still comparable, but it is still very cool and useful. I believe for the price it is definitely worth it.

noise cancelling is great but app gives me issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.excellent noise cancelling! I would give 5 stars however the price is high in my opinion. I love all the features, the app looks dated but is still useful. The only issues I have are regarding app settings changing and having to reset them each time I turn the headset on/off. Specifically the feature that pauses music when you turn your head gets annoying, I change it in the app however it changes back between uses. Overall, solid headphones but pricey for app annoyances.

Best Sony WH Series Headphones Yet!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical when I saw the design of these headphones, and they were going to be overpriced and cheaply built. I was surprised at how comfy, and well-built these were when I put them on. The noise canceling is the best iteration yet and doesn't hurt my ears like previous models. If you want to splurge on over-ear headphones, then give these a try! I use these in the office daily and couldn't be happier.

I think they really are the best ...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't feel there's anything wrong with these. The sound is amazing, noise cancelling is pristine. There are so many different options to customise your listening. The finish on them pick up grease, that I consider just a teent annoyance but otherwise they're not too heavy, they're really comfortable. 10/10
