Actually Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Omg. I've never purchased such expensive headphones...these were WORTH it. They completely block out sound. I went to a car wash, sat close to the machine tunnel, played music and could not hear the car wash AT ALL. The smart features are super convenient. If they were waterporoof I would never removw them. Super amazing.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally i was going to get the XM4s then i was like lets go up-to-date. I do not regret my decision at all. These are hands down best headsets i ever owned. The noise canceling down to the sleek design is superior.

Sony XM5 times 2
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these Sony headphones for myself for a long trip and then a 2nd pair for my wife and we both enjoyed the a little more quiet during our flights over seas and back. I like that we can update the headphones and control them with the app on our phone. Easy peazy purchase at Best Buy

Definitely worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome features, I got it as a gift and they use them daily. It’s amazing when I FaceTime them, I don’t hear the noisy background, I even borrowed them for a trip and they were life savers during the flight, I’m thinking of repurchasing for myself. Definitely worth it.

No more football!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these hoping they would block the sound of our tv and my husband offering his advice to the various sports teams being broadcast on said tv. THEY WORK!!!! I can relax on our comfy sofa, connect to music or a video and not hear a single thing he says or SHOUTS at the tv. It's pure bliss.

Spectacular headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these as a Christmas gift for my wife and she has absolutely loved them. She is a musician and records from our home studio quite a bit and these have fantastic headphones for recording or just sure listening casually. Normally she does not care about this kind of thing but she has absolutely been in love with these headphones and will not go back to any others.

Wonderful and fast noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I traded in my Bose QC xx noise cancelling headphones at Best Buy for these new Sony headphones. I had a trip upcoming and I was hoping for new and faster microprocessor technology. My Bose never disappointed, but these Sony headphones are magical. So very quiet I'm N/C mode. Almost made my air travel bearable.

Not for me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good sounding headphones but compared to my air pods pro 2 that I’m so use too the Sonys lack a lot in bass and a little in noise cancellation. Overall very comfortable and well built but lack in sound quality on iPhone.

Posted .Hi ArmondP, We're glad that you like that these are comfortable. We're sorry if the sound quality did not meet your expectations. Please ensure to download the Headphones Connect app, it has an equalizer which can be customized to fine-tune your music.

Light soft and good fit.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter loves it. She even uses them at the gym. I tried them on and fit well, were soft, and didn't heat up compared to some other ones, we have tried them in the past. They are worth the expense in the long run.

Great Overall but alright for Gym
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great over the ear headphones. If you cover the right ear with your hand then it’ll automatically go into transparency mode which is really cool. They aren’t that great for the gym though. Sweat easily builds up in the ears and they are not water or sweat proof. Really wish they made it water proof for the price it’s going for.

Getting them on sale is even better, but what makes them so good is the sound quality. I was listening to music and heard parts of the song I’ve never heard before. Outstanding headphones, 10/10
