Better than beats
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the perfect headphones for the gym! I have had beats studios 3 before and they tend to hurt my head and ears after a while. These headphones are super comfy and the noise canceling works really good!

Quality Sound
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Great sounding product with one of the best apps that let you tune the sound to your exact preference. Amazing bass and good noise cancelling, however not better than the Air Pods Max noise cancelling in my opinion.

Great for planes
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Planes seem louder than 20 years ago. I am likely wrong, but i needed these headphones. Wireless and noise canceling. I can listen to Audible without turning the volume all the way up. Perfect.

Another fine Sony headphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned Sony XM3 and XM4 wireless headphones. The XM5 is a significant upgrade with a more refined and neutral sound. However, I don't notice much difference in the quality of noise cancelling, compared to the XM4. The XM5 is comfortable and easy to setup and use.

Posted .Hi Bobby1947, Awesome! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your new WH-1000XM5! These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our noiseless design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear. -Carl

Sony Sound Equals Quality.

The instructions say they can't get wet and you can't sweat on them. So much for exercising. Otherwise, they had a beautiful sound.
