Great sound as always, fit and retention is meh.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is on par with all Sony headphones. Fit is less than desirable. Going from the XM4, the fit of the XM5 is not as good as the XM4. The bar is not as wide, and with less padding in the muffs, along with less tension, the headphones slip around more when leaning forward and backward. If they sound better than the XM4, I can't tell. If the XM4 wasn't still more expensive than the 5's, I would have bought the 4's again.
