Amazing sound. Amazing feel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the look, feel and most importantly the sound. Sony really has checked all of the boxed with this one. I feel like i never have to recharge it and the swipe/ tap controls on the right ear are so intuitive.

Superb noise cancelation
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones basically make a noisy room silent. The speaker wuality is good too. I would say when i turn the bass up very loud at all it makes a funny pop sound. I listen to a lot of metal so the kickdrum sounds funny. Other than that great headphones

Much better than previous version
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic! The sound quality and mic quality are outstanding. Kind of bulky compared to the last generation. Wish the hand gestures were somewhat customizable. Pricy but worth it especially if your in an open office floorplan or frequent traveler

XM5's beat M&D headphones in almost every way.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these on a whim and I gotta say, I really liked them. I returned them because I also ordered at the same time a pair of M&D headphones at $600.00. Being a bit of a snob I kept the M&D headphones instead. I've regretted it ever since.

Great buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Almost everything I was looking for, excellent noise canceling and volume 10 out of 10. Only thing I would like is more bass but that doesn't mean these are bad. I really like the feel of quality and hard shell case definitely a good product.

Doesn’t fold for storage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I prefer the previous generation. This generation does not fold away for storage. Sound quality is very good. Just not the level of upgrade I expected over the previous generation given the price.

Great headset
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headset was a game changer for me. I love using them while traveling. They pretty much block out any unwanted noise. The sound is great. The sticker price is up there but it's worth it to me.
