    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.

    Like this better than the Airpods Max. Not as seamless as apples headphones for the apple ecosystem, But fit and comfortability wise I would definitely choose this over the other. ANC feature is nice and carrying case is really nice.

    I had the previous model before these and I loved them and when I heard they released a new version I was excited. Long story short the build quality isn't as good but the sound and noise cancelation is beter than ever. Overall I definitely recommend.

    Very comfortable. I bought these because I have severe insomnia due to Lyme disease. I use these to fall back asleep while listening to binaural beats or the Abide app. I fall asleep with them on all the time. I have never owned expensive headphones but these are extremely comfortable. They also silence my husband’s snoring.
