Good but not Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent quality, but it hurts my ears when the noise canceling is on, also it doesn't compact itself with bending, and noise-canceling feel subpar compared to earlier Sony Headphones.

Posted .Hi RedS, Amazing! We're glad that you are enjoying your new headphones. We're sorry if they hurt your ears when noise canceling is on. You have the ability to fully control the noise canceling and ambient noise feature within the Sony Headphones Connect App. If you want to toggle between noise canceling and letting the ambient noises, simply use the button on the side of the headphones.

It has a dumb feature but everything else is great
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good sound. Crap gimmick in the left ear cup that pauses music when it's taken off. OK Mic I guess, it's an upgrade from the last one for sure. REALLY long battery life

Just get the XM4s…
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high expectations but these were very uncomfortable due to the skinny band with limited padding. Also I have a large head and these were very loose. Returned and bought the xm4 and they are fantastic. If Sony considers the xm5 an upgrade they’re wrong. Only thing better on xm5 is the call quality.
