Best Sony XM series yet.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. My wife has the xm3's These are an improvement, with better battery life and noise cancelling. Miss the NFC pairing but the app reconnects them easily when moving between devices. Case is a little lack luster.

Perfect Set of Headphones (Lightweight)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony M5 headphones are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a high-quality listening experience. One of the standout features of these headphones is the adaptive noise canceling technology, which is truly amazing. With this technology, the headphones are able to analyze the sounds around you and adjust the level of noise canceling accordingly, ensuring that you always get the best sound quality possible. Another feature that really impressed me with the Sony M5 headphones is the Bluetooth connectivity. The blue connection is consistent and does not intermit, which is essential for an uninterrupted listening experience. Whether you're listening to music, watching a movie, or taking a call, you can trust that the connection will stay strong and reliable. Overall, I highly recommend the Sony M5 headphones for anyone who wants a top-of-the-line listening experience. The adaptive noise canceling technology is truly impressive, and the consistent Bluetooth connectivity ensures that you can enjoy your music or other media without any interruptions.

Superb headphones
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I've ever used. I considered the apple AirPods Max, but they were much more expensive and not useful for non apple products. These headphones work with everything that supports bluetooth, including perfectly with all my Apple devices.

Best headphones on the market
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound and quality build. These are without a doubt the most comfortable headphones I have ever used. Easily 10/10 for me my one and only complaint is that when turning them off you have to press the power button for a long time I often ended up putting them back in the case while they stayed ON and the battery drained. Hoping this can be fixed with a update.

My daughter and husband already owned a pair. I had beat solos but they would hurt my ears after being on for a little bit. This do not hurt they are very soft.

Headphone review
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones would be great for activites that dont have a lot of outside noise and for those that don't blast their music. These would be great in an offic setting or for walks around the block. Their noise cancelling is good and i love their ability to stop noise cancelling when talking or being talked to. They're not the loudest headphones. If you want something loud for the gym I wouldn't recommend these.
