Good sound but fragile headphones
one of the best pair of headphones I’ve owned for sound and noise cancellation and very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time I’ve had my pair for a few months and wore them almost everyday and they recently broke on one side while putting them on which is unfortunate for the price the durability is questionable would definitely get insurance if your considering purchasing these headphones the storage is also awkward they aren’t foldable like a pair of beats so not the best for traveling or storing in bags I will try another pair of Sony headphones just for the sound quality alone but definitely won’t be rebuying this specific style.

Excellent upgrade
Purchased to replace my partners XM3 as I inadvertently spilled a cup of water into the ear piece that the charger goes into. Needless to say, they now fail to charge. However, these are well worth the upgrade as these XM5 have so many more features. Knowing how good these are, I would have upgraded sooner.

Fantastic for Adhders
These are incredible for my Adhd and have completely made my work so much easy to do. The noise cancelling function is fantastic. Definitely recommend for any Adhder. Only issue was the manual was pretty poor, had to google how to use it, but to be fair that wasn't exactly difficult to do!!

Brittle materials used
I love the headphones, the sound and the noise cancelling. Unfortunately it seems the arms that the headphones are mounted on are quite brittle and broke easily. I have had to send the headphones in for repair at a cost of almost half the price of the headphones.

A Definite Buy
Bought the Pink version for my adorable wife. This is her first set of ANC, over ear headphones and she loves them. I have been buying these headphones for a few years now and wear them constantly. My first were the three's, then the four's and I presently own the five's. I converted from Samsung phones since the first Xperia 1 and presently still using the Mark V. Looking to get the VIII which is when I will hopefully get my XM6's. I have alot of Sony products in my house, so yes, I would recommend this product whole heartedly if you want a well rounded set of headphones. They do everything you would expect if a flagship product.

Don't Waste Your Time or Money
Received my headphones and by the middle of the third song I was listening to was already requesting a refund. Built quality is cheap; headband uncomfortable; not able to get the headphones into a position that didn't feel like there was a bar across my head, noise cancelling not as good as advertised, sound quality ok, but to have any 360 Spatial Audio you need different apps and services. Then comes support - slow and inept. Getting a refund was a process in itself. Would not recommend, will not be purchasing any other Sony headphones.

Terrible durability
GreatSouSound quality is great, but the durability is terrible, and even worse is Sony's customer service. I've had these headphones for 4 months, and they have already broken at the junction between the earpiece and the headband. I called Sony customer service becuase it is still under warranty. Apparently, they consider this "cosmetic" and will not repair or replace the headphones under warranty. For the amount of money I paid, I certainly expect more than 4 months of careful use. I'm an adult and take care of them properly. Very disappointed. I had a previous version that lasted over 4 years.

Solid but ANC mid
sound quality is good with the equaliser. however the noise cancelling is disappointing. it has the possibility to be good but only activates effectively in noisy conditions which means in a quiet library i can still hear whispers because the device doesn't activate the noise cancelling. would be 5 star if the noise cancelling was manual rather than automatic so i could turn it up to the max even in quiet areas.

AMAZING HEADPHONES!
Bought these a couple weeks ago as I am now commuting for work. The noise cancelling quality is fantastic and completely blocks out the noise on public transport. Sound quality is superb and there are so many great features such as they stop playing music if I speak and the sound adapts to the environment etc. Would 100% recommend!!!
