    These headphones work great! I especially love using them in the gym. They really block out all surrounding noise. I use them while moving around a lot and they rarely slip off my head. The only time they slip a bit is when they are over my long hair. It is better if you move your hair out of the way so the pads make contact with your skin, keeping them in place and barely moving.

    I’d probably give these headphones 5 stars if their programming could reduce the wind noise, headache-inducing bass response when using them in a high wind environment. Also, the connecting bar between the two ear cups can feel pretty hard and heavy if you don’t adjust them right. But hey, literally everything else is fantastic. The sound quality, outside of the wind noise thing, whether for music or podcasts is above reproach. If these were $250 they’d be a no-brainer.

    The xm-5 appears to be made of cheaper plastic materials. Previous model sony headphones are stronger and more durable. I broke my pair of xm-5 within a few months just like a pair of beats headphones. I would prefer xm-4 for durability, sound quality is good enough.
