Solid equipment.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones were extremely comfortable, terrific sound and great bass response. Sony App is not required but has nice features. Bluetooth has good pairing. Case included is decent but the charging cord has no adapter and is extremely short measuring around 3 inches

Impressive noise-canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great pair of noise cancelling headphones. I purchased these to wear on a flight and the turbulence on the plain was so minimal that all I could hear was my music playing in the background. I was impressed. The battery life is just as impressive. It also came with a case that I found useful for traveling.

Best Sony XM series yet.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. My wife has the xm3's These are an improvement, with better battery life and noise cancelling. Miss the NFC pairing but the app reconnects them easily when moving between devices. Case is a little lack luster.

Definitely recommend
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would definitely recommend the xm5 since they are very light and good price for the quality they provide. But, like anything else, they do come with a flaw. During intense work outs they do tend to fall easier.

Posted .Hi Masonb,
We are immensely pleased to hear that these are the best headphones you’ve ever owned and that you are enjoying the "awesome" noise canceling! To deliver that industry-leading silence, this model utilizes two processors controlling eight microphones—the Integrated Processor V1 and the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1—which work together to dramatically reduce high and mid-frequency noise. Furthermore, the sound quality is elevated by the specially designed 30mm driver unit, featuring a light and rigid dome for more natural sound, while DSEE Extreme™ upscales your compressed digital music files in real time for a truly premium listening experience.
Thank you for making Sony part of your listening experience.
Regards,
Dominick

Incredible purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling with these is absolutely incredible. I cannot hear anything when I am listening to music, even when on a mower or in a loud environment. Only issue that I have had is when it self switches between noise canceling and ambient, sometimes it gets confused by the wind if I am outside. But inside I have had 0 issues with that. Sound is very customizable as well. Seem very durable so far as well.

|Posted .

Still worlds great though a bit loose.
