I couldn’t be happier with the build and sound quality of these headphones. I had reservations about spending that much on headphones but my post purchase regrets went away upon first use. Sony just earned another loyal customer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I recommend you to buy a xm4 or even xm3. It isn't worth so much money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The sound quality of these headphones is awesome. However I was disappointed with the build quantity and size. I wish the top part of the headband was made of plastic while the bottom leather. I felt the headphones protrude a little too much and looked too big for my head. Would be great if Sony can get that great sound in a smaller form factor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This model of headphones seems to continue to be the best in class in all areas. The superb noise canceling, great audio quality and excellent features easily put it in front of all other models. I use these for trips and while I work in the office, and they are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time and have become a must for me on plane rides, with their noise canceling. I can't recommend these enough.

I upgraded from the Xm-2 for the Xm-5, and am very glad I did. Wonderful headphone, with class leading noise canceling and sound. They are also very light and completely comfortable and create no fatigue after extended listening.

I am really enjoying the great sound quality and noise-canceling capabilities of this product. One feature I think could be improved is the performance of the Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) button. Sometimes, I have to press it multiple times before it turns on/off and it would be useful to have a clear indicator for ANC status (on/off) - either a voice or light.

Bought them to replace 1000xm4's that started whistling in my left ear. They are easier to pair and volume and ambient sound controls are improved. Needed a set with good noise canceling.
