Not what I expected. XM4’s are Better!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried out these headphones for about 3 days and I will say they do have premium feel and look to them. From my experience with the past XM4’s, theses new headphones surprisingly lack the control of noise cancellation. A huge downgrade from the previous gen, not only that but they lack the portability of the previous gens. I will be returning the XM5’s and stick with the XM4’s. If you want a solid pair of headphones with portability and great noise cancellation, I’d say you are better off with the XM4’s. These headphones are way too expensive for what they offer.

Posted .Hi raymonddz, Thank you so much for your honest review. We appreciate your feedback to our WH-1000X5 headphones as this will help improving our products. These lightweight headphones are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. This material fits snugly around the head with less pressure on the ears while keeping out external sounds. Our noiseless design with stepless slider, seamless swivel and hanger, and silent joints, makes WH-1000XM5 a pleasure to wear. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl
