Sony doesn't honor the warranty
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Left side swivel joint plastic cracked after 6 months. Sony refuses to cover them under warranty because it "Doesn't cover Physical, Cosmetic, or Water Damage". Even if the physical damage is a design defect.

Just get the XM4s…
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high expectations but these were very uncomfortable due to the skinny band with limited padding. Also I have a large head and these were very loose. Returned and bought the xm4 and they are fantastic. If Sony considers the xm5 an upgrade they’re wrong. Only thing better on xm5 is the call quality.

Good but not Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent quality, but it hurts my ears when the noise canceling is on, also it doesn't compact itself with bending, and noise-canceling feel subpar compared to earlier Sony Headphones.
