Sony WH-1000XM5

“...I will take the more comfortable design all day over the smaller compact mx4s...”

“...I actually think the new design is a welcoming improvement...”

“...The light weight, the comfort...”

“...I absolutely adore my XM4’s - wear them for up to 8 hours a day with absolutely no discomfort...”

“...They're super comfortable, the noise cancellation is top notch, and i'm not a sound engineer but I really enjoy the sound quality...”

“...But I would definitely go for the 5s because of the lighter and more comfortable build...”

“...much more comfortable and no more smelly fabric cushions...”

“...I can wear the XM5s for hours and not feel discomfort...”

“...I have been seeking comfort in headphones for years and these are the best I've ever used...”

“...the comfort has been amazing...”

“...They're super comfortable...”

“...the sound quality and nc is s tier...”

“...i just bought these 2 days ago and they sound amazing. i really don’t care about them not folding as long as they sound amazing and the noise cancellation is top notch!...”

“...I’m still astonished to see noise cancellation technology becoming even better...”

“...I still find it’s noise canceling really good 2/3 years later...”

“...They're super comfortable, the noise cancellation is top notch, and i'm not a sound engineer but I really enjoy the sound quality...”

“...the sound quality and nc is s tier...”

“...Sound quality, ACN is far better than my in-ear Airpod Pros...”

“...I know, that 1000xm5 don't have any white noise...”

“...Noise cancellation is impressive too...”

“...the way I can have it paired to my laptop and my phone simultaneously and it'll switch back and forth on the fly... But know the best part? The touch to the side to place it into transparency mode...”

“...As for battery life, after charging them to 100% and using them for 6 hours, I have 80% of battery life left...”

“...No quality issues yet; the pads are still 100% clean and no visible tears or wear. Very good battery life, no particular battery drain yet...”

“...there's literally an application where you can customize the sound signature...”

“...I absolutely hated the sound of my XM4s out of the box, but then I used the app...”

“...They sound VERY good if you tune them properly. You have an entire EQ graph that you can adjust...”

“...The apple pro max are heavy and that alone to me was a deal breaker...”

“...I know sound quality can be subjective, but how can you not differentiate between bulky and lighter headphones...”

“...There's no air pressure, they're light...”

“...how can you not differentiate between bulky and lighter headphones...”
