    Really like these for traveling. Noise cancelling is great for the noises of plane/train. Sometimes have trouble switching connection from phone to computer but besides that no issues. I bought them full price and I recommend waiting for a sale or looking at prices elsewhere like Amazon. Had lots of issues with my AirPods charging and now these Sony are my go to.

    I’ve owned a lot of different earbuds and headphones. I’ve got to say though, my favorite are the Sony xm5’s. They feel super comfortable and the noise cancellation is the best I’ve had so far. I did like how the xm4’s folded but that being said it’s really not a big deal. Though I really like Bose, I believe Sony offers better noise cancellation than the 700’s and includes more features for usage, plus the sound quality is incredible as well!

    I bought this as an upgrade to my Beats Studio 3. Upon listening to these for the first time, I was impressed with the ANC performance, sound, and build quality which is all a step above the Beats. The only negative I can think of is how the case is larger than the Beats' case but other than that it is perfect. I also enjoyed the Sony app and all the features it offered.
