      Hi KevinZ,

    I enjoy the headphones while studying but they are not for working out! They slip off my head constantly & when I’m moving my arms with weights the headphones think I’m trying to change the song, etc. so the music is constantly being interrupted. The music sounds great though & the noise canceling option works extremely well! Great for studying but not for working out!

      Hi ElishaT, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience so far using your Sony WH-1000XM5. We're glad you love the exceptional sound quality and excellent noise cancellation of your headphones. Having read your review regarding the fit and waterproof performance, these headphones have great cushioning and adjustability. This will help the headphones stay on your head while working out. These will work great for you while working out “Non-Hardcore”. That being said, these headphones are not specifically designed for sports activities as the unit is not sweat resistant. If the proximity sensor part inside the left unit housing gets fogged up or there are water droplets on it due to condensation or humidity from sweat, etc., wearing detection may not work properly. We recommend you practice caution when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    I prefer the XM4s Because you only need an auxiliary cord and can have them turned off to plug into a PC. The XM5s To be used by Bluetooth, which uses battery and has a bit of delay versus using the auxiliary

    I decided to upgrade to the Sony XM5 from XM4 for my 18 yr old daughter and she commented that XM5 feels more comfortable although sound quality was very much the same for both. She was very happy and that is what matters.
