Sony review
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The head phones were terrific at first until it started to give me headaches and ear pain when I use it for 2-5 hours. Over all, the sound quality and connectivity was amazing. I would recommend if using to the gym, having a walk, etc. Don’t have the volume to high people could hear what you're listening too.

Posted .Hi SarahM, We appreciate your feedback and we're glad that you like the sound and connectivity. There are several reasons why your ears may hurt when putting on or wearing headphones:
You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue.
Note: Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while.
How long have you been wearing the headphones? The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt.
Note: You may need to limit your headphone usage.
Should you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com.
Regards,
Erin

Nice headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an much older pair of Sony NC headphones. These are leaps and bounds better. Struggled with the decision to go with the newest version or save a few bucks and get the XM4. I don’t know if the XM5 is that much better but they are really great, especially for airplane travel.

Quality headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, true noise cancelling which is a huge deal. They can run warm, but the quality is worth it. They do shut off if you take the headphones off and lay them down so you need to have a stand to hang them on or be prepared to scramble to put them on your head and engage the "on" button on if someone calls, all at once.

Great buy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great and so is the noise canceling feature. Can get a little uncomfortable wearing it for too many hours consistently but mostly very comfortable if adjusted well to fit head.

Really good just a bit pricy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, sound quality overall is great, ambient noise is good just you need to lower music volume, the touchpad on the right headphone is my favorite feature, one complain i have is that the ear foam is not thick enough but overall if you have spare money i would definitely recommend these.

Great for mowing !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these headphones when I am on my very loud zero turn mower and they block out the noise and allow me to listen to my favorite tunes while I'm mowing. My wife can get ahold of me anytime easily by just calling my cell phone which is connected to the headphones by bluetooth.
