||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn't completely convinced to buy them but I don't regret it. Theyre comfortable. They sound super good and they connect super fast. I like that it can be adjusted on the cell phone. I also like the small package in which they come.

Love the M5s
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. The sound quality and noise cancelling was done very well. I use it to study and when I need to go in my own world. Battery life is also very long. I don’t have to charge it for a couple days with constant use.

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.

Posted .Hi Badapex, Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sony XM5 Wireless headphones. We're glad that you are happy with it. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. We also appreciate your feedback regarding NFC. This can help us improve in the future. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Craig

Best by far

The sound quality is second to none and the noise canceling feature is flawless. Also, these are very comfortable, much more so than the SM4 I used to have. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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.

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.
