    This is my 3rd pair of headohones and imhave to say the noise cancelling has really improved in my opinion. They are also easier to stow away since the previous versions felt like they had tombe tangked and untangled respectively when taking them out and purting 5em back in the case. The design chane is a welcome one with the headband being more comfortable.

    I’ve owned a lot of different earbuds and headphones. I’ve got to say though, my favorite are the Sony xm5’s. They feel super comfortable and the noise cancellation is the best I’ve had so far. I did like how the xm4’s folded but that being said it’s really not a big deal. Though I really like Bose, I believe Sony offers better noise cancellation than the 700’s and includes more features for usage, plus the sound quality is incredible as well!

    Really like these for traveling. Noise cancelling is great for the noises of plane/train. Sometimes have trouble switching connection from phone to computer but besides that no issues. I bought them full price and I recommend waiting for a sale or looking at prices elsewhere like Amazon. Had lots of issues with my AirPods charging and now these Sony are my go to.

    Very good headphone with some flaws( minor). 1. The material on the ear cups is finger print magnet. 2. It feels so hot after using it for an hour so. I was sweating after using it for a couple of hours. 3. The case/folder is very large and cumbersome to carry it around. 4. The noise canceling and audio quality is excellent but not exceptional or any better than from the new Boss quiet and apple earMax. Overall very good headphone with some flaws.

    I bought this as an upgrade to my Beats Studio 3. Upon listening to these for the first time, I was impressed with the ANC performance, sound, and build quality which is all a step above the Beats. The only negative I can think of is how the case is larger than the Beats' case but other than that it is perfect. I also enjoyed the Sony app and all the features it offered.
