    Great headphones, works great, the aux plug in option is great for saving battery and when working off of a laptop or playing on my switch. Just be careful when doing pull ups, the touch controls can be set off due to your arm touching it also. Lol

    I upgraded from Sony’s previous model, the XM4, and the biggest changes was the appearance of the headset. The sound quality remains stellar with clear highs and deep bass you can feel. The biggest con is that I cant fold these up like the XM4s, otherwise these do very well if these are your first nice headphones. If you are upgrading from the XM4, its pretty much a coin flip, but if the XM5 will be your first nice headset, its worth every penny!
