Bought it when I thought I lost my XM4. Aside from the excellent noise canceling the most significant feature that stands out from the competitors is the immersive mode. The Immersive mode has software control the left and right sound, so when you turn your head around, you can feel the sound produced from the different directions (so makes you feel like you are in a live music event).

However, the Immersive mode, IMO, is very gimmicky, and doesn't improve the experience of listening to the music, with mild annoyance at best.

Noise canceling feature is very finicky as well. The music and noise canceling will be paused and disabled whenever it hears a loud sound nearby. Walking by the busy street will make the headphone stops the music constantly, a very unpleasant experience. I read the manual and made all kinds of setting changes via the app, but nothing helped.

Fortunately, I was able to find my XM4 back and returned this "Ultra" headphone immediately.

Would not recommend it if you already have XM4 or equivalent headphones.

Placed a pick up order, got the email confirmation for the order. Never got a confirmation they were ready for pick up. Went to the store and asked to pick them up, 5 minutes later I was walking out with the headphones. Repped OP!

I had just returned the XM5s. I wanted to like them, had great ANC, and sound, but after 30 minutes the top of my head hurt from the band. I tried my daughter's QC45 and could wear them for hours. These products are very subjective so think need to try them all.

Can't you just disable "responsive" noise cancelling?

Same here, the headband seems soft but also hurts my head. I found the Bose Quietcomfort Ultras to be more comfortable for long periods and the noise cancellation was better. The XM5s lose noise cancellation if you accidentally tap your head on the side of the plane, while walking and sounds are changing, etc. I found the Ultras to be better than the XM5s by a fair margin despite several reviews stating the opposite.

Same for me.

Last time I ordered Bose from Verizon (during the 75% off sale), my entire order was canceled 2 days after I placed it.

So every day that goes by without shipping confirmation is a day closer to cancellation. Hope I'm wrong, but not optimistic.

Every way EXCEPT:
1. Force on ears
2. iOS / Android Apps
3. Balanced sound

Can I change my order from shipping to in store pickup if a store has the headphones in stock?
