    I traded in my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones and upgraded to the XM5. My only priority was better noise cancelation on flights, and the XM5 delivers. Sound quality is excellent. I am taking away 2 stars because the carry case is larger than the XM3 and there is no 2-pring airplane adapter included with the headphones. Plus, the carry case is missing the net sleeve outside which the XM3 case had. This elastic sleeve was perfect to store my phone on flights, and Sony just overlooked it, maybe to save some pennies.

    Great headphones. Bought them because our fire alarm kept going off at work due to a malfunction. We had to keep working while it was going off. These helped soooooo much with drowning out the sound. Only downside is it would randomly disconnect while using them from my phone.
