Not for me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good sounding headphones but compared to my air pods pro 2 that I’m so use too the Sonys lack a lot in bass and a little in noise cancellation. Overall very comfortable and well built but lack in sound quality on iPhone.

Posted .Hi ArmondP, We're glad that you like that these are comfortable. We're sorry if the sound quality did not meet your expectations. Please ensure to download the Headphones Connect app, it has an equalizer which can be customized to fine-tune your music.

Why you need to purchase this?
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good headphones 9/10 It has an awesome feature to change the way you want to listen to music and don't forget canceling noise, but why not a 10? She was 10 months old then, but unfortunately the head support needs a bit more support, it could fall off if you like to run a lot.I think it’s a very well headphones.

Posted .Hi Mari, We're very grateful for this positive feedback! Glad to hear you like the excellent noise cancellation of your new Sony XM5. To ensure a comfortable and stable fit, try to adjust the left and right slider of the headphones. And the step-less slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, make it a pleasure to wear. Hope this helps!

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using them for about a week now and they are great but the noise canceling is not as good as I thought it would be

Posted .Thank you for the feedback, MatthewWolowitz.
We're glad you like the headphones but sorry the noise canceling isn't hitting the mark. We recommend disabling "Adaptive Sound Control" in the Sony Sound Connect app to keep the ANC at its maximum level. Ensuring a snug fit around the ears and checking for the latest firmware update can also significantly improve performance.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team
