    They are a true upgrade from the XM4s in every way; though the question remains of how significant of an upgrade? The sound quality and isolation is amazing. Not quite at the Airpod Max level - but impressive nonetheless! The touch controls on the right ear up by itself makes these an intriguing option to consider when looking for a high quality, excellent sounding pair of headphones! I’m glad to have received these over the holidays!

    I love these headphones! I originanly boguht them to try them out and to see if they were worth the big price, but let me say, every cent is worth it! Ive never used such premium sounding headphones that are worth the money! I love the fact they sound wonderful, the amazing noise counseling, and even the fact I can connect them to my gaming console with the cord that comes with them, and listen to my video games! Song is where it’s at!

    Replacing my XM4s

    A family member wanted to keep my XM4s, especially since they are using them to help them study through college. So I decided to get the XM5s on sale and they are just as good, if not better than the XM4s. The headphones sound great and aesthetically pleasing. I wouldn't necessarily upgrade from the XM4, but if you don't have either, go ahead and grab the XM5. You won't regret it!

    Now that I’ve tested them in a long car ride, noisy work place and laying in bed relaxing. I can honestly say that i am extremely happy with these. The noise cancellation is amazing. The sound quality is clear and not over bass heavy. Has a great case and comes with all needed accessories.

    I love sonys always have. Even over bose. I had the xm3 and just bought the xm5s. Way better noise cancelling that i love the most and the call quality is perfect. I took a phone call with lawnmower noise in the backtound and my sister said she could hear me perfect and clear. So two thumbs up for that. Lasty the sound quality is amazing as expected like my xm3s. So five stars for sure.
