Pros & Cons
Pros
wavers. App equalizer is great to use. I usually hate extra apps but don't headphones app and proper calibration is essential with these and any anc headphones. Anc processing nearly eliminates any additional sound that would typically leak by.
The noise cancellation is leagues above apple products. On the bright side, the earbuds offer excellent active noise cancellation and sound quality, largely due to the equalizer customization. The noise canceling feature is why i'm posting this commen... Read More
There aren't many upgrades from xm4, but i'd rather them not mess with what works. I hope the battery holds up longer than the xm4. The biggest difference i have noticed is that the xm5s battery life from charging to the next charging is better.
The case is fine, but not befitting of $300 buds. The case charges wirelessly, which wasn't immediately obvious. Even $30 earbuds offer digital readouts of the battery level on the cases.
Cons
Every size except xl is too small and the xl will not go far enough into my ear canal for a good seal. The case has to be open and at least one bud has to have been just recently removed from the case otherwise they won’t connect. The earbuds are not ... Read More
This means the sound quality suffers and the noise cancelling is virtually nonexistent. The noise cancellation sounds like a random robot.
On ios, sonys headphone connect app takes forever to make a connection to the headphones. Making a bluetooth connection to any device is very buggy and a headache to troubleshoot.

Sound quality is awesome, call quality better, and they stay in the ears great.

Like someone else said if you do not to the proper setup in the sony app and just hook em up then yeah your gonna leave a crap review.
Price
I am pleased that i made this purchase instead of paying the mortgage.
I had to buy a pair off ebay for $5.
Packaging/appearance
Came with an adhesive for the upper part to keep case attached.
Competitiveness
The sound quality is crisp, clear and better than any other besides my daughter's airpods on her apple.
Battery is great so far, better than xm4’s, beats fit pro, and the bose ultra’s i’ve used too.
The bose ultras may beat the sony’s on this, but barely, and the form factor sucks.
Not apple/beats elite, but the best out of the others in my opinion.

Sound was lackluster at first because none of the included ear tips worked for me

That foam material that sony uses doesnt work for all people perhaps thats why other manufacturers like apple sennheiser and bw use silicone tips which also are easier to clean and age better
