    These are a nice upgrade from my older version 1000X earphones. Comfortable to wear. Using them also with my iPhone to make calls and the mic quality seems very good. Happy I bought them.

    *ANC is great *situational ANC/pass through feature is nice to have *sound quality is pretty good even after playing with the EQ but not totally immersive *build quality is great - though I am pretty careful about the headband, it doesn't inspire rugged confidence. soft goods feel soft and compliant *excellent battery life and battery charge rate *being able to connect to my phone and PC and having it seamlessly transition based on use case is amazing *had an issue with the XM5 randomly turning off, used it for about 400 hours total - spoke to Sony CS 3 times over 4 months and they only suggested factory resets if I hadn't already updated my firmware. On the third time they decided to do a warranty replacement on my XM5 - it took 2+ weeks total for a replacement because they sent me the wrong color on the first replacement.

    Very happy with these after having the Bose QC for a while. Noise canceling really is the best, especially on planes. Sound quality is excellent, plenty of bass that can be adjusted as well. Mids and highs are crisp. Good build quality, comfortable, easy user interface, intuitive controls.

    These headphones deliver excellent sound quality with deep bass and clear audio. They’re comfortable enough for long listening sessions, and the noise cancellation works extremely well, especially in busy environments. They feel premium, perform reliably, and are great for both everyday use and travel. Definitely worth it if you want high-quality audio.

    These would be 4.5 stars in my opinion. These headphones sound great (although a little bass heavy) and the sony software allows good customization. The noise cancelling is great. The ear cups worked well for my ears and the clamping force was good and I can wear these for extended periods. Not sure why they want you to share location to unlock headphone features, but not needed in my opinion. Case is nice and flat and will be easy to pack for travel. Highly recommended headphones.

      Hi ALANA!
      Thank you so much for the detailed review and the high recommendation!
      We are really happy to hear that you are loving the sound, great noise canceling, and comfortable fit for those long listening sessions.

      Regarding the app's location request, this is used for our Adaptive Sound Control feature, which automatically adjusts your noise canceling based on your surroundings, though you can easily turn this off if you prefer manual control.

      We value your input. Thanks for choosing Sony!
