Are you Older? READ THIS.
I am almost 65 years old SO, I DO NOT have the ears of a 18 year old. That said, I consider these to be good for these reasons:A: Exceptional battery life.B: Call quality that was considered good UNTIL I did a direct comparison to my Blueparrott B450-XTâs – NO WHERE NEAR the quality of the Blue 450âs, BUT the Blues are made specifically for calls in noisey environments. . Blues are in my opionion the defacto standard by which all other ANC phone calls should be judged. My “demo” for people is to run my upright vacuum cleaner whilst on a call. People on the other end cannot hear it AT ALL â REALLY!, I hear them, and they hear me perfectly! TRULY amazing! I did the same test with these and alas they failed miserably in comparison. I expected that. I was told they sound like I am in a room away from the microphone, a bit fishtank like, and muddy. SO, theyâll do in a call but not as a primary phone call device in noise. I heard a sample of the BOSE 700âs and they were terrible, which is what prompted me to get the Sonyâs.C: One unconventional thing they do great at: A Sleep Aid. Yup, they drown out all the extraneous noises like people talking, Air conditioners, fans, Water coolers, hums, etc. ALL gone with nothing playing through them!I bought them primarily for playing on my PS5, and watching TV late at night. They do both quite well.D: Amazingly, my ears do not sweat much in these even after prolonged use. Iâve ordered those Dekoni Suede Earpads for them as well just for added comfort.(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BS4T3X62?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)(5/16/23 – Returned The earpads: they claim they are suede when in fact they are 2/3 suede. The inner part inside the cup is something else, not leather so NOT durable. Considering this, $49 seems FAR too expensive.)E: They are long-term comfortable unless you have ears like a B-52 in which case you will probably be stuffing bits.As for music, I find them to be more flat without pronounced highs or bass – which I prefer. The EQ on the app is a nice feature. The ANC works very well listening to music and will be adequate to the task in both quiet and noisey settings. Again, I remind you, Iâm not 18. ;-)Pricewise, they ARE a bit expensive but the build quality seems better than most.If you have the time, I would HIGHLY recommend you test several brands and models at a store simply because sound quality is subjective and EVERYONE has their preference.UPDATE: 5/23/23 – Returning (REPLACING) Headphones – Why? They started acting “Funky”. By that, I mean that if you turn them off, they will not turn on unless you do not hit any buttons for about 15 sec. NOT normal. ALSO, they started to exhibit Connection issues that were NOT there initially. I STILL, at this point consider them excelllent. Now, if the NEW pair goes weird, THEN I would have to re-evaluate.UPDATE 6-3-23: New pair are working as they should no connection issues or on/off bttun problems.UPDATE 2-16-24: Still working perfectly and I use them nearly every night to sleep.

Overall the XM5 are the best
For some reason Iâm obsessed with headphones so here is the most straight forward review to help you out.Price – They are all expensive, usually in headphones you pay for what you get.Sound – APM sound better, but youâre not gonna know unless you compare them side by side. XM5 sound amazing.Comfort – Super light and really comfortable. Headband doesnât bother me at all. Trick is to expand the headband so it doesnât rest on the top of your head that much. APM are too heavy, Bose feel slightly better than XM5.Features – They are the best you can get.Controls – Amazing, touch controls work great!ANC and Transparency – ANC is really good and on par or better than all other brands. Transparency on APM sound like youâre not wearing headphones, XM5âs transparency is much better than XM4 but do sound electronic, like you can tell itâs coming through the mic. Itâs no APM but 2nd best for sure.Build Quality and Design – Plastic but thatâs a good thing because they are lightweight. IMO they look better than anything else.Multipoint Connection – Set it up in the app and you are good to go with 2 devices. Stop playing on one device start playing on another. Itâs seamless for the most part but sometimes you may have to reload the video or song to get it to play.Headphones are really subjective to the user. What Iâve learned is sound quality and comfort matter more than anything. There arenât any headphones that are perfect and check all the boxes but the XM5 IMO are the best on the market.

I have fallen in love
I have been looking for some good over the ear headphones and seen so many good reviews of these. I decided to try them out and these are some amazing head phones! I recently had to travel and ended up wearing them for 6 hours straight!Battery life: The battery was full and by the end of my travel it dropped to 85% so the battery life is outstanding.Noise cancellation: It was really good and didnât create too much pressure while on. Even when the headphones were off it did an amazing job of damping outside noise. Ex: I was by a VERY loud construction site and once I put on the headphones (turned off) it almost dampened the noise completely.Ambient Mode: Itâs nice, I will say that in some cases I didnât really use it. For example if you are in a loud environment it will be extremely loud while on. Which makes sense as the point of AMB is to be aware of your surroundings but if you have sensory issues I would be mindful of it. When you do the quick ambient sound itâs really good and makes what you need to hear very clear. There is very little static noise but if you are listening closely itâs very faint.Comfort: These are so comfortable and lightweight. Part of the reason I was having difficulty choosing over the ear headphones was because many were too heavy for my liking but when I wore these I forgot I had them on. I only had to adjust them once when it hit closer to the 5 hour mark. There is very little discomfort. My only thing is being that they are so light it feels like they can slip off easily sometimes. When you have them laying on your neck it can be a little uncomfortable at least for me. They landed on my collarbones so there was just hard plastic hitting my collarbones over a bit of time. But that is just me nit picking.Few set backs: the storage of them is a little inconvenient or undesirable. I wish these could fold because the case is quite large and take ups a lot of space especially when you are traveling.Overall: I have really enjoyed the experience with these headphones! I would really recommend these to someone who has auditory sensitivity like myself because they check a lot of boxes! There are only a few things that I wasnât a huge fan of but that was like I said me nit picking.A video that was very helpful in making this decision was by: This is Tech Today on YouTube, they really went in-depth of all the features while also comparing it to different nc/amb headphones!

 Ele realmente entrega o que promete. O Cancelamento de ruÃdo e o Audio 360° sãos extraordinários. Eu realmente não escutei nem a campahia da minha casa sendo tocada. O material é bonito e delicado, vem com uma bolsa para carregar/guardar muito boa, o cabo de carregamento é curto, mas como a entrada é USB-C provavelmente tenha outro cabo mais comprido disponÃvel. A bateria é muito boa e o carregamento é rápido. A configuração é toda através de aplicativo próprio.Os fones esquentam a orelha, senti calor mesmo estando em pleno frio do Rio Grande do Sul, mas imagino que seja um pequeno preço a se pagar para potência do cancelamento de ruÃdo que era minha principal busca. Enfim, acho que valeu cada centavo.Quanto ao vendedor, muito atencioso, respondeu as dúvidas e a entrega foi espetacular, recebi 20 dias antes do previsto. Realmente não tive taxa cobrada na aduana e foi liberado bem rápido.

The best ANC of any headphones I’ve tried. I can even use these while mowing the grass and still hear music clearly without having the crank the volume. Excellent battery life, I seem to be getting very close to the 30 hours claims. Good call quality, I use these for Teams meetings regularly. Very comfy – most headphones have too high of a clamping force for me, but these are perfect; I can wear them for hours without getting a headache. I do with the headband was wider, but so far I haven’t experienced any pain from the round design this headband. The buttons and touch controls work well. I had Sennheiser Momentum 4s, which have slightly better sound quality, but were unreliable in terms of the touch controls, ANC turning off by itself, settings going out of sync with the app, etc. The XM5s work reliably and still sound great.

 O headphone é premium, apresentação, acessórios, emfim o produto é top, padrão Sony, qualidade Japonesa!Cancelamento de ruÃdo não funciona perfeitamente pra sons muito agudos, ex: tenho periquitos australianos e com o NC ativado ainda da pra escutar o piado deles, porém se vc colocar uma música de fundo ai desaparece todos os sons ao redor e vc fica isolado.Qualidade de som nas músicas é excelente, porém tenho um Astro A40 que uso no playstation e prefiro o som do Astro com a MixAmp tanto pra músicas como filmes e séries.Em relação ao conforto achei confortável, dá pra usar por bastante tempo, porém achei o espaço para orelhas muito raso, as orelhas encostam e é oq faz ter que dar umas pausas, oq por exemplo não ocorre com o Astro A40 que o espaço é bem maior, mais confortável, a orelha não encosta e daria pra ficar o dia inteiro com ele, nesse quesito também gostaria de citar o Anker Life Q30 que era o headphone que usava antes desse, acho o Anker mais confórtável, embora perca no NC e qualidade sonora.Por fim o investimento foi grande, mais nosso problema é a taxação e o real que não vale nada comparado com o dólar, espero que o headphone dure muito tempo, pois realizei a compra por conta do meu Anker Life Q30 com 1 ano e meio de uso parou de funcionar o Noise Cancel e descascou todo e abriu a parte da espuma, levando em conta que o Anker custa em medio R$ 400 e o Sony R$ 2500 espero que se reflita na durabilidade.

These are the best headphones from Sony. Previously I used Sony headphones but they’re entry-level headphones. I also used headphones from other brands like Sennheiser, One Audio and JBL but all of them are entry-level headphones. This is the first time I bought high-end headphones and I trust Sony. You can’t go wrong with Sony as per my experience. Coming to the headphones, I already knew that these were best. However, I researched thoroughly on YouTube and read many articles for almost 3 months before buying these. I want to get the best value for the price. These headphones are costly and I don’t want to go wrong with my purchase decision.Build quality: These are made of high-quality plastic and feel lightweight and comfortable to wear for longer durations. The only thing is, that the headband is thin and hurts a little on my head after wearing it for a few hours. Just move or adjust it a little and I’m good to go for another hour.Sound quality: It’s Sony, no need to brag about sound quality. Sony is known for sound clarity. Every small musical instrument is heard in great detail. I can’t forget my first experience of listening to music using these headphones. I’m blown away by the details and the clarity of sound.Battery life: It is mentioned 30 hours. Seems to be true. Headphones will easily last up to two days of mixed usage.Noise cancellation (N.C.): These headphones are my first experience with noise cancellation. When NC is turned on, it is silent. Zero noise. But after a few days, I realised that I could still hear voices from other people when they were shouting or talking loudly. It’s good not to completely block all sound.Update on N.C.:I want to address one thing people who are saying that NC is not good. I think they feel like that because of the adaptive NC feature in the Sony headphones app. Due to this feature, the level of Noise cancelling is adjusted automatically according to the surroundings. I know it doesn’t work 100% accurately every time. It works sort of 70 – 80 % accurately depending on the surroundings. That’s why some people complain that NC is not completely silent or perfect. Some are complaining there is no option to disable the adaptive NC feature. It is available in the Sony headphones app after the latest update. We can also manually disable the adaptive NC of headphones using the app. I mentioned these details because some people may not be aware of these features available in the headphones app.Note: When NC is turned on, a sound pressure is created between ears and headphones. So there is a vacuum-like seal between ears and headphones and it blocks external sound. I’m not sure how NC works. This is the first time for me experienced noise cancellation. It was a shock and a surprise feeling when NC was on. My brother got scared due to this effect. I got used to it now. Check the Sony manual regarding the safety of NC. In the Sony Headphones Connect app, there is a safe listening setting. Please follow it and you don’t need to worry about your ears getting damaged due to headphones. I have attached screenshots of the same. Please check.Final Verdict: I can say that these headphones are the best consumer headphones. Audiophile headphones are different that’s why I mentioned them as the best consumer headphones. Most people who use them will love them.
