Posted .That's awesome, TyMD! We're glad that you are impressed with the new Sony XM5 wireless earbuds. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thanks for choosing Sony. -Craig

Must Try
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are AMAZING! The sound is awesome, battery life is sufficient, love the app on the phone with scanning your ears, helping with the way sound is delivered. The update was really slow though, took about an hour to finish the firmeware update for some reason.

Life is good... but it can be better!
|Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best pairs of noise cancelling headsets I've ever owned. Sounds could be louder and after a few hours the top band can be painful on the top of your head. My wife said the same thing, so it could be better by improving the very hard and lightly padded band that connects both earphones.

All around good set of headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is very good, crisp. Lacks a bit of booming bass compared to my much older Beats Pro (before the apple merge). Noise cancelling is good, the dynamic mode leaves some room for improvement. Overall great set, nice and light on the head too. I'd say theyre $100 overpriced, given some of my $100-200 headphones are pretty close in terms of sound quality alone.

Posted .Hi TomD, We're glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function. Please ensure to download the Headphones Connect app. It has an equalizer that can be use to customize the settings to fine-tune your music.

MX5 great for work, school, not the gym
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such amazing headphones and I’m writing this review after a year with them and they’re still good. Great sound and I love the noise cancellation feature. However, I don’t recommend these if you’re running because they do tilt depending on your posture and personal speed as you jog/run but overall great to listen to music sitting down, studying, or just to play Roblox with but I don’t use the mic feature as I have my own mic but I use them to hear the in-game sound.
