Worth the price tag!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these every day! The noise cancelling is great, and I love that I’m able to connect to 2 devices via Bluetooth simultaneously. Not the best for workouts, they tend to slide off my head but it’s manageable.

Light soft and good fit.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter loves it. She even uses them at the gym. I tried them on and fit well, were soft, and didn't heat up compared to some other ones, we have tried them in the past. They are worth the expense in the long run.

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!

Best Headphones I've had
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones sound great, noise canceling is really good, pair this with a Tidal HiFi Plus subscription and youve got some really good sound. The sony headphones app offers good amount of customization for the equilizer and other features. Overall great headphones, I definitely recommend.

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.
