Over-Ear Headphones

“Getting here form the M4s, great comfort, decent battery life. Overall a great purchase.”

“Great headphones, but the 2nd Sony headphones of mine, what physically broke after a few years, and Sony service rejected to fix.”

“I knew I was getting into a high-end experience but the XM5s just moved the bar MUCH higher for me. Sound is extremely clear, speakers are loud and the battery lasts around a month and charges quickly. They will kill the sound quality the moment you get in a call though.”

“I bought these planning to EQ them. You can, but it's an imperfect solution and shows depending on genre. Overall comfortable, the ANC is very good, build quality & case are decent, and battery life is plenty. The cans are slightly unwieldy. My unit had a manufacturing defect.”

“The hinge design is severely flawed, and many other reviews online corroborate this. Not enough people, particularly reviewers discuss this point of failure.”

“You need to play around with it heavily or find guides / QR codes to get good / preferable audio response / quality. Once it’s dialed in, these are my favorite pair of headphones visually, physically (buttons and dials), and especially audio-wise.”

“It sounds great, looks great, feels alright, controls are amazing, battery is strong”

“The anc is Good but not top level still it blocks more than enough presonally theres no reason to have better anc. The comfort is better than my old jbs but overall not top level id give them a good but you may need a break each like 4 hours. I love the white”

“Graphite colour looks better in photos from Sennheiser, IRL they look cheap. I’d buy black if I could do it again.”

“The ANC with airplane engine noise is exceptional the engine noise isn't totally gone but the noise was impressively lowered I found the combination of the lowered plane noise mixed with the nap mode sounds actually helped me fall asleep on the plane ride”

“Is very comfortable for the ears, it has a lot of space inside (ear space) and my ears aren't constantly under pressure by a mesh or something like that for example.”

“I did need to use the custom EQ to get my preferred sound, but the headphones take EQ very well. The ANC is quite good, but getting a good fit is crucial, as sometimes my thick hair and wearing a hat let sound leak causing a feedback loop that resulted in a crackling noise.”

“The wireless puck is only really useful as a way to connect non-Bluetooth devices. It does not offer any other useful features as the app performs them better.”
