Another fine Sony headphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned Sony XM3 and XM4 wireless headphones. The XM5 is a significant upgrade with a more refined and neutral sound. However, I don't notice much difference in the quality of noise cancelling, compared to the XM4. The XM5 is comfortable and easy to setup and use.

Sony Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is great however the volume I wish it was able to be louder. The headphones also slide a lot for example when I am doing planks they slide forward.

Great sounds quality and comfort
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has the best noise cancellation in the industry imo and the audio quality is great for the price. I would say you can get ebtter audio quality out of more expensive headphones such as the h95 but the comfort on the sony is the best I’ve experienced

Very happy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You don't just hear music with these babies, but you experience it in a whole new way. I threw them on, sat back, closed my eyes, listened to songs that I've heard hundreds of times, and noticed things in each one that I've never heard before! I even find myself listening to music that I would have never listened to before, just because it all should so amazing in these things. I've had decent pairs in the past, but it's mind-blowing how big of a difference a quality set of headphones makes. Then, I booted up my PC, and was able to hear both it and my phone at the same time. Let me tell you, games on these sound almost too good. A character talk behind me, and I almost turned around in real life thinking they were there. And the noise cancelling... My wife, daughter, and son we're all screaming at me, and I didn't hear them at all! Thank you Best Buy and Sony for saving my sanity.
