    These headphone sound amazing, have great noise cancelling, and are extremely comfortable. I’ve spent entire workdays with then on and never felt like I needed to take them off. Unfortunately, the weak hinge snapped on me out of nowhere and the headphones have become unusable. Apparently, this is an incredibly common issue with these headphones that Sony refuses to acknowledge. I wanted to love these headphones, but its not worth the money for less than two years of usage. Sony needs to fix this build issue on their next headphones and acknowledge the mistake on the XM5s.

    Charge them before using them sound was low at first then charged them and sounded way much better i recently had the Sony Wh-1000xm4 and wasn't planning on buying these but sadly i ran them over. And I can tell the sound is better and noise cancelation is better. The only thing i don't like is adjusting i liked the whxm4 clicking. Overall really good headphones

    I’m giving them a four because they come with no directions and I can’t seem to link them to my Rand McNally GPS system which is blue tooth. I can hear really well with them on. Everyone says they are really clear on the other end. I’m supposed to wear hearing aids but with these I can hear everything quite well. So if I could get some help linking these to my GPS they would get a five plus rating

    Owned XM3’s for several years now, got this set for my wife and she loves it. It convinced her to switch from her earbud only preference after having a lot of discomfort issues with other over-ear sets. Quality and performance is unmatched in all areas and still a noticeable improvement from the 3’s
