While many also appreciate its good bass, snug fit, and decent active noise cancellation, some concerns have been raised. These concerns primarily revolve around its portability, price, occasional connectivity issues, and a desire for louder volume and water resistance.

    I upgraded from Sony’s previous model, the XM4, and the biggest changes was the appearance of the headset. The sound quality remains stellar with clear highs and deep bass you can feel. The biggest con is that I cant fold these up like the XM4s, otherwise these do very well if these are your first nice headphones. If you are upgrading from the XM4, its pretty much a coin flip, but if the XM5 will be your first nice headset, its worth every penny!

    Excellent noise cancellation. I am someone that uses hearing aids so was trying to find something able to accommodate without having to just crank up the volume. These headphones achieve that by adding a lot of customization within the app. I’m also able to use them for work calls and switch between my laptop and personal device seamlessly through the dual Bluetooth connection.
