Sound great, but expensive and not comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great and it's great for discord, but it gets uncomfortable quick and the ear muff is a little small for one of my ears. Overall I think my AirPod Pro Max's are better because they are cheaper, sound just as good, and are more comfortable.

Posted .Hello NikaM,
While we're happy that you are satisfied with the noise canceling feature and comfortability of our XM5, we're sorry to hear that you are having issues like the unit shuts off by itself while using it. This is not the news we want to hear. Please allow us to help. If the headphone shuts off in the middle of using it, you may not be wearing it properly.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can check:
- When you wear the headset over a cap, cloth, a scarf, hair, etc., wearing detection may not work properly. The automatic power off function may trigger and the headset may be turned off automatically. Wear the headset so that your ears are inside the earpads.
- When the automatic power off function is set to [Do not turn off] on the [System] tab of the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, wearing detection will continue to work and the symptom may be improved.
- Make sure the battery is fully charged.
Should you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

We are more than happy to assist you.
