98% perfection
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down top 5 if not the top 1 in overall spec. Comfort and Audio is just top of the top tier. If you got the money for it or see a good deal, then get it. Only downside is that it's not foldable.

||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's been a few months since purchasing the Sony xm5 headphones and so far they are great! They cancel out noise and are very loud. Battery last a long time. The only issue I had was connecting it to different devices, I had to download the Sony app.

Super comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfortable almost don’t even notice they are on. The noise cancellation works great, not a lot of bass. They don’t get really loud, good quality sound but not noticeable difference between other brands in my opinion. Overall really good and most comfortable headphones in that size class.

Great sound and design
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used this series since M3 and its only gotten better with each iteration. The M5s sounds fantastic, great nose cancellation, the design is an overall improvement over the previous generation. The new carry case is also sleeker. One thing i miss about M4 is the NFC quick connect, M5 didn't have a nfc tap to connect.

Amazing Quality and Best Noise Cancellation
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The XM5 headphones by Sony absolutely blew me away. First, starting off with the app. The app is super easy to use and makes adjusting audio and fine tuning the noise cancellation super easy. Moving onto the actual headphones, the sound quality the superb. There were notes and sounds I was unable to hear in my other pair of headphones and they do an amazing job at adjusting to your music tastes. Finally, the noise cancellation. I go skating a lot and find the area very noisey. I can barely hear anything with them on and the ambient noise mode makes it easy to talk to people or be aware of my surroundings if needed. Overall, 10/10 and I recommend these especially for the price.

Excellent gift for my 71yr old mother.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for my mother to use when travelling or at home. The noise cancelling is better than anything else available on the market and the comfort is above and beyond as well. They are quite expensive but these are the best ones on the market that I could find and try prior to purchasing.
