Great headphones
Fantastic headphones I’m a wood machinist and the noise cancellation is really good. Unfortunately Argos let me down with the packaging as it was all dented and marked like it had been kicked across the shop for but the product worked fine. I won’t use Argos again because of this

Unbeatable sound quality for current price.
Although the XM6 headphones are now the latest in the range, the XM5s remain a great buy for quality headphones. I have a Bluetooth transmitter with LDAC, and this works well with the XM5s. As I type this, I'm listening to Four Play with keyboards, guitar, bass guitar, and drums nicely separated but working together. I've yet to set up the personal Eq. Noise cancellation is very good, without that "sucked out" sensation that can come with some noise cancellation. Comfort is excellent too.

If you are neurodivergent these are the ones
I bought these headphones through very last month and they have honestly changed my life (for real tho lol) I got diagnosed with both ADHD and autism this year and I never realized how much a good pair of headphones would affect me. The noise control is unreal, I can dabble in and out of conversation whenever I please and its got all sorts of controls you can do I’m still yet to learn but so far it’s been amazing honestly. Would highly recommend to any of my neurodivergent folks xoxo

Fantastic headphones . Sound pure clear and great quality

Highly recommend
I had been looking (and procrastinating) for a while and final took the plunge with these. So glad I did. Sound quality is excellent and the functions like track skipping and the app are great. I wear glasses and was concerned they headphones wouldn't "sit right" but I've had no issues at all.

Great sound & comfort, minor fit issue

Not worth it
Bought 10 months ago and the left hinge broke. Frustrating to say the least. The quality of the physical headphones isn’t great, they feel very flimsy and well broke. Sound quality and noise cancellation is fine - not completely silent with these on but enough to make train journeys more bearable. Though sometimes they did seem to get dirt in the sensors and freak out.

XM5's upgrading from XM4's
Very good quality, I am upgrading from my XM4's as I broke the head band. The noise cancelling setting does not seem to be as good as the 4's, but the sound quality is definitely better. They are comfortable.

Bought thesd in january and the hinge had already snapped from regular use. Do not buy

Noise cancellation at last.
Really pleased with this purchase. The noise cancellation is very impressive as ‘road tested’ on a recent flight to Southampton. Ear buds simply don’t work for me - must be my ear profile. Handy and secure carry case. It’s not cheap but it does exactly what it says on the tin. Money well spent if you can afford it.
