Wonderful Noise Cancelling Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The XM5 is a very comfortable, flexible noise cancelling headphone which has very great sound. They feel light and you forget that they're on your head after a while. The noise cancelling works great and I mainly bought them for traveling, but I use them at home when it's late at night.

Excellent Headphonesm
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with the new Sony headphones. Did not have the earlier version so I can’t compare however these headphones are comfortable and extremely quiet on planes where I use them the most. Love the ability to speak and the system allows me to hear what is being said then going back to quiet after a few seconds.

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.

Posted .Hi NicolasC,
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying the magnificent sound quality of the Sony - WH1000XM5. We also appreciate your feedback on the volume; for a more personalized sound, you may want to explore the equalizer settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. It allows you to customize the sound profile to your liking, which might help you get a little more out of them.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,

Light weight and works great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.light weight headphones, noise canceling works great! can connect to 2 devices at once. My noise canceling feature broke the first month, but Sony replaced me with a new pair easy. Resting the headphones on your neck while not listening is not ideal. It is so tight that it is squeezing my neck. So far it is a great headphones.

Light headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones for traveling around anywhere I have tried the AirPods max but I like these more because they sound great and they are very light to wear. Which is a key feature for me the AirPods are to heavy to wear for long periods of time
