Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Pressure-relieving ear pads ensure a snug fit without causing discomfort. Plastic ear pads are sweaty, but that's necessary for the anc to work properly.

The headphones have a touch-sensitive panel on the right earcup for controlling music playback and volume. The swiping feature to control the track and volume is a piece of cake. Holding your hand on that earpiece also stops all music so you can hear ... Read More

Bought this for wife's birthday. First of all. It is fantastic. Highly recommend. These headphones are a life saver!

The anc is wonderful. The battery recharges quickly with a qc charger. The anc is great.

Cons

The headphones are completely unsuitable for gaming. Ur payn for the name & looks. The problem seems to be getting much worse at $350. This is unacceptable and should be ashamed of releasing this product that is unusable for gaming due to this del... Read More

Overall the case puts apple's airpods max case to absolute shame. The 5's are more expensive, they are very uncomfortable and super flimsy. Sony has doubled down on with the anc playstation 5 versions which i bought and return because the anc was non-... Read More

The problem is it's only been 6 months since i purchased them and they already have countless problems. It happens for about 30 seconds a few times every hour of use. Then a day or two later, it reverts again. I have to reset this and within the next ... Read More

Some of the features that i use all the time are really cumbersome. But, the software spoils everything. Another strange decision is the app name on android headphones.

Quality

Good sound qualitygood bassamazing sound optionsgreat build👍

Very happy with the quality and sound and how light weight is perfect

The noise cancelation on these are next level and nothing comes close.

There is practically 0 latency and no compromise to sound.

Price

I never thought i would spend $250+ on a headset, or even more than $150, but this one is worth it.

But this is definitely worth your money.

For the price of this device, this is criminal.

I was hesitant at first because it cost so much but the noise canceling feature is a god send.

Shipping

Also scheduled for delivery 22 dec and arrived 12 dec.

The shipment for the headphones was very fast.

Packaging/appearance

It didn't come in its original packaging but the case, wires, and headphones were all included.

Competitiveness

We researched other popular brands, and overall, these got the best reviews for the price.

I can’t compare directly with bose, but these do sound terrific after adjusting to my tastes with the app.

I've seen professional reviewers say about the same, and that they fall short of sony's claims.

I've been researching these headphones along with other brands and models, and i decided on the sony xm5's.
