Served me well for two years

Exactly What $400 Headphones Should Be
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's everything a good pair of headphones should be. The materials are sturdy, but comfortable and light on the head, the sound quality is stellar and the noise cancelling works phenomenally! The app gives you a lot of customization for the sound, including level of noise cancelling and an equalizer. It's an expensive electronic that is worth as much as it costs!

What the!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing… the controls to skip, pause, etc., are very easy to learn. My one complaint is that the charger is too short. Skimping out on length!?! Haha, not a big deal. Also, incredibly light! Placed my headphones in my case before work, and after work, I lifted up my case and thought my headphones weren’t in there. Turns out they were.

The Greatest NC heaphones on the market!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far the best noise canceling headphones on the market today! I was blown away by the technology Sony has harnessed with these. Auto adjusts with no input needed from you, the user. Simply turn on or off with the press of a button. Feature rich companion app that is one of the best companion apps for any product I have ever used in my life. This product truly deserves 6 stars. Buy without hesitation!

Good sound, ANC so-so
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a few noise canceling in-ear headphones before (QC20, Airpod Pro, Momentum TW2, ) and have been disappointed with the amount of noise canceling they offer. I picked the Sony X5 over the Airpod Max and Bose 700, sound unheard, so I can't say how those compare. The sound is fine -- obviously better than any earbud I've tried (Aonic 4), but about the level of on over-the-ear set like the ATH-M50, a solid performer. The question was whether I could get that level of audio quality without hearing a nearby leaf blower, or industrial fan, or someone drumming upstairs, or even just music playing at moderate volume in the same room. The answer is no. I'd say the attenuation is like a good pair of earplugs, which is better than nothing but you're not going to enjoy audiophile quality with noise in the vicinity. Also, the noise canceling is automatic-only, meaning that even with the app you can't max the canceling; the headphones decide what level of noise canceling you need, which is a really, really bad design decision. I hope a firmware release changes this.

Previous model was better
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Okay overall pretty good, but only for a while. I think m4 model was way more practical and comfy. The one I bought has now lost the ability to adjust the size smoothly and also the pads are so soft that overtime they provide minimum cushion for your ears. Sound quality is great but I would buy m4 model if I were to do it again
