Made her Happy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to upgrade to the Sony XM5 from XM4 for my 18 yr old daughter and she commented that XM5 feels more comfortable although sound quality was very much the same for both. She was very happy and that is what matters.
