Xm5‘s aren‘t bad but not great for sound quality either. If you need great noise cancellation, there is no way around Sony/Apple though. Can‘t recommend bose, from my experience their sound quality even sits below these two. If you don‘t need amazing ANC you could go for something like the Final UX3000, Audeze Maxwell or even Focal Bathys depending on your budget.

Sound quality is meh, slightly worse than XM4s actually, build quality is average and battery life isn‘t amazing either. I hope you care a lot about ANC otherwise they are absolutely not worth it with options like the Audeze Maxwell or Final UX3000, maybe even Grado GW100 v2s and Audiotechnica M50 BT

The treble was too hot
