Love
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've just had these for a few days. That being said I love them. Came from the MX3's and these are so much higher quality. No squeaks from the frame. Noise cancelling is much better thann the 3's and so is the over all sound quality. So far I love them.

||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using my headphones for a few months now, and it has been the best purchase that I’ve made this year. I was blown away at the noise-cancelling quality, and love that it has the feature to opt into the noise for a quick convo without taking the headphones off!

Worth it for travelers
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Indispensable for airline flights. Works great for keeping the various rude passenger disturbances to a minimum. I was worried that the foam would make it uncomfortable on long flights, but it's no problem at all. Now, can Sony help with the "oversized" passengers encroachment on my space?

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lemme tell you. These are AMAZING! I’ve been coming from the lower end version of Sony headphones and these are night and day different! I was debating betweein the Airpod Max and the XM5s - this has an IP rating that Apple doesnt have which is well needed because my ears get damp and moisty a lot! Regardless, It’s super comfortable and amazing! Props to Sony for an amazing product!
