||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These head phones are comfortable enough to bing watch but I can't tell if they are on or off unless I listen to them.. I wish there could be a light indicatior to let me know. I have put them away charged but when I want to use them they are not charged.

Big Head - Sony vs Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Airpods max vs sony XM5 I brought both and I returned the airpods after I used these. Most of my devices are apple and this works super smooth between them, its easy to connect and everything. The transparent mode is unmatched for the maxs, but I think everything else is better on the 5s. I have a bigger head and to me these fit much better than the maxs, I would suggest this for bigger head people the maxs had a lot of force and did not feel good for long periods.

Perfect Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these for work, I make phone calls constantly throughout the day. I compared them with Bose 700s that my co-worker tried swearing up & down was better. Of the 2, yes the Bose are better at music wuality honestly, but for phone calls… Sony all day! Perfect sound quality in and going out, and i even made a call once while vacuuming and the person on the phone with me could not hear my very loud vacuum at all!

Made her Happy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to upgrade to the Sony XM5 from XM4 for my 18 yr old daughter and she commented that XM5 feels more comfortable although sound quality was very much the same for both. She was very happy and that is what matters.
