Good Choice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple to connect to bluetooth source. Solid connection when connected to my Samsung Note20. Impressive sound and the features to adjust volume and change song via the right headphone are convenient. They do perform well in regards to sound and clarity and battery life is decent as well. I would say between 4 and 5 stars, nothing really bad about them but also nothing really sets them apart for the rest around the same range.

Pretty good, thoroughly enjoyed
|Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the sound and it’s fairly comfortable, had it for almost two years and I will say it’s not as good at holding up against basic movement. Still worlds great though a bit loose.

It's okay on sale. If not, get the XM4s
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony comes with good ANC that you won't really notice and their bass forward sound signature. My main gripe is that the comfort of the earcups and headband is dinky. It kinda lives up the premium price tag, but shouldn't be 300+

Perfect Set of Headphones (Lightweight)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony M5 headphones are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a high-quality listening experience. One of the standout features of these headphones is the adaptive noise canceling technology, which is truly amazing. With this technology, the headphones are able to analyze the sounds around you and adjust the level of noise canceling accordingly, ensuring that you always get the best sound quality possible. Another feature that really impressed me with the Sony M5 headphones is the Bluetooth connectivity. The blue connection is consistent and does not intermit, which is essential for an uninterrupted listening experience. Whether you're listening to music, watching a movie, or taking a call, you can trust that the connection will stay strong and reliable. Overall, I highly recommend the Sony M5 headphones for anyone who wants a top-of-the-line listening experience.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband bought these for me for Mother’s Day. My daughter and husband already owned a pair. I had beat solos but they would hurt my ears after being on for a little bit. This do not hurt they are very soft.

The Best Headphones on the Market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are probably the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market at the moment. I purchased 3 sets - one for me and two for my kids. The quality of the sound and the level of noise canceling are great. The battery life is unbelievable.

Highly Recommend!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have been my absolute go to! I struggled for awhile finding headphones that comfortably fit over all my piercings, without making my ears sore or giving me a migraine- these were it for me! The design is very sleek and minimalistic, which was also very important for me. It comes in a travel case that is super handy to keep my headphones and charger all together in my purse or backpack for school. One of my favorite features is the active listening feature! Very similar to apple headphones, but rather than turning the feature on and off from my phone- I can hold down with three fingers and activate the listening. When I’m done, I just take my hand off and it goes back to the previous mode. This is my FAVORITE feature. There isn’t much audio leakage at all. Overall, this IS the product to by over the Apple Headphones!
