I am in love with these headphones! I previously had the Sony XM4 which died after the warranty period by randomly making deafening high pitched squeals.
The noise canceling is scary good. While walking my dog I never heard a peep from cars driving past. I'd say this is the best noise canceling I've had. The sound quality is great with the immersive audio set to motion. They feel very high quality. I am very happy with my purchase.
The reason I didn't go with the xm5 is all the complaints about the auto adjusting anc never allowing anc to be at full power 24/7.
I have been dailying the Bose qc earbuds ii, before them I had the Bose qc earbuds...amazing the different between over ear and earbuds. I'm going to steer away from earbuds since an article talking about ear damage from earbuds being much easier to cause since they are feeding directly into your ear canal.
Are Bose headphones as bassy as people say?
