    Very solid, music sounds awesome through these! The noise cancelling works very well, allows me to get lots of work done with little to no distractions. It's features are really good, plus it's connection quality is great! While they're expensive, they're definitely worth every dollar if you're someone who loves listening to music alot!

    I bought these for a flight so I could watch movies on my Fire tablet. They worked great! I was able to listen to my movie without having to crank up the volume. The noise cancelling was amazing. I also liked the ability to pause the movie with a tap on the headphone and turn off the noise cancelling by covering it with my hand to hear the announcements. I definitively recommend these.

    I purchased these phones recently to deal with prolonged medical visits due to cancer. The hospital is busy and noisy - these phones are amazing. They give me the peace and quiet I need to get through my long days. Great value, and amazing sound quality. Highly recommend these if you travel, or just want some IAT (Independent Alone Time) with yourself! Rock on Sony.

    I bought the NC Bose 700 headphones a couple weeks ago... which did not convince me.. I was very disappointed. I decided to go with these XM5's and at the very first listen i FELL IN LOVE! These headphone sleave the Bose ones in the dust! The sound quality is 10x better, microphones are amazing.. overall I give them 10/10

    Omg. I've never purchased such expensive headphones...these were WORTH it. They completely block out sound. I went to a car wash, sat close to the machine tunnel, played music and could not hear the car wash AT ALL. The smart features are super convenient. If they were waterporoof I would never removw them. Super amazing.

    Sound quality is amazing, whether it be TV, cellphone or laptop, music, movies and games sound great. Can connect to multiple devices at a time and switch between, although sometimes switching between 2 devices gets a bit confusing for the headphones. The make is very premium and easy on the ears.

    Have been a loyal sony user for many years - it never disappoints me! I've had a XM2 for 6 years which worked so well, but I unfortunately lost it during a trip. Upgraded to XM5 last month and it delivers moreeeeee than expected. Sound is a personal taste but I prefer Sony's profile to Bose and Apple. Definitely recommend :)
