Sony XM5
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones have great sound quality for everyday users. Most advanced adaptive noise cancellation in its class. As for connectivity with Apple it can’t real contend with headphones like AirPods Max or Beats.

Amazing Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are as great as people say they are and I would definitely recommend them. The only issue I have is that the disconnect and reconnect if I’m using them for my work laptop and my phone is near by. It’s annoying during a meeting

Good sound slightly annoying build
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good but ever dependent on the EQ settings it seems. You have to take the time to tailor the experience to how you want to experience sound with the companion app. In terms of build it is aesthetically pleasing but smudges easily. The cupping around the ears is also prone to become wet from sweat.

Great for Office Work
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good headphones. The noise canceling doesn't silence everything for me with my glasses and long hair, but it definitely makes all the sounds more manageable. The option to enable and disable noise canceling at the push of a button is also very nice.

Posted .Hi Diego,
We are pleased to learn that your WH-1000XM5 headphones have become such a vital asset to your education! We understand that for a student, a "best investment" means gear that can keep up with long library sessions and back-to-back lectures. It’s rewarding to know that the Industry-Leading Noise Cancellation is helping you create a distraction-free study zone, while the 30-hour battery life ensures you aren't searching for an outlet in the middle of a project.
The Multipoint Connection is a particular favorite for students, as it allows you to stay connected to your laptop for a lecture while simultaneously paired to your phone for important notifications.
Thank you for making Sony a part of your academic journey and for trusting us to help you focus.
Best regards,
Dominick

Great purchase if you have the extra chedda
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are definitely a luxury headphone for when you’re looking for that smooth audio and features. Not a big fan of the material it’s made of due to it feeling a bit flimsy and less solid then other headphones.
