> 3 dayCumbersome when compared to other noise cancelling headphones as well as HUGE case. The WH-1000XM4 case is very slim, sleek, and compact - something easily carried on a plane where one would expect to use it most. The WH-1000XM5 case is BULKY, oddly shaped, and definitely not something that can be easily carried on a plane and utilized. The main reason for this is that the headphones dont fold like the XM4s do which is a HUGE disadvantage in my opinion. I personally dont care for the on/off button either. Many other higher-end noise cancelling headphones utilize the tilting headphone as the on/off activation which is easy, efficient, and preserves the battery. And an app ... why on earth does one need an APP in order to use the headphones. The only thing these headphones really have going for them is their noise cancelling ability and battery life are good. The negatives far outweigh the positives for the XM5s. Save your money and buy the XM4s or even another brand if truly looking for an exceptional set of headphones as these definitely are not in my humble opinion.

> 3 dayIm a headphones fiend, have probably owned over 70, and these are the most comfortable Ive ever worn. I was impressed with the comfort of the Bose 35ii and Bose 45 but these are next level. Also they do everything theyre meant to: great sound quality, noise canceling, battery life. Some people complain that they dont fold up but I could care less. The only thing Im not crazy about is how they look but thats just my personal opinion, I know many people think theyre stylish. I think they have a Space Balls vibe. But damn theyre great.

> 3 dayYou probably already know that these days, all the flagship noise cancellation headphones are awesome. It’s truly splitting hairs comparing these to those from Apple and Bose. They’re all just so good. I chose these these over Apple, even as an iPhone user. My main reason was wanting USB C, and the vastly superior battery life. It’s insane, I’ve been using them weeks and still am at 60% power. You can use them every day and charge like once a month. No regrets.

> 3 dayI’d been debating on whether I would get these headphones or the Apple headphones. Glad I went with the Sony. Fits well around the ears and doesn’t hurt at all even if I wear them for 4 or more hours. Great noise cancellation and love being able to use the touch/tap features.

> 3 dayI really wanted to like this product especially because it’s so cute. I have been on a hunt, trying a ton of new headphones like these. However, it slips a lot if you wear it for more than like 30 minutes it’ll start to hurt the top of your head even if you extend the wrap. I think the beats headphones have much better noise canceling. Quality wise, it’s nothing extraordinary, i think it’s pretty average especially for the price. I have experienced the same with headphones that were $20-$30. I would save up, do some more research, and not get these.
