Most amazing headphones I've ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing, they literally make all the noise disappear. You can hear things in songs that you've never heard before. I also use them on zoom calls where the ambience noise allowance is super helpful. Battery life is incredible.

Amazing sound and ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible sound quality and ANC. I wish they had water resistance so that I didn't have to baby them so much but the audio quality is worth it. These aren't gym headphones, they're concentrate on listening to your music headphones.

Amazing headphones for studying and keeping focus
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first time buying noise canceling headphones. I needed some to help me when I am studying, I can’t focus with to many sounds around me but I also can’t focus with music to loud. Even so while play lofi study music and having the noise cancellation on it did wonders. I couldn’t Hear anything and if I did it was so muffled that it wouldn’t distract me. I also love love the feature where you can put your hand on the headphones and it’ll let you listen to your surroundings. Many would say it’s annoying that they can’t hear the person talking to them to clearly or their surroundings but, let’s be real. These headphones are probably only for work use like studying or working and not really for everyday use like normal headphones. These are definitely meant to make your world quiet and muffled.

Best Headphones in the Market
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing - The sound, the bass, the noise cancellation, and even the battery life; however, the only downside I would say is that these headphones are not sweat resistant. I purchased them thinking I could use them at the gym, but they’re prone to getting damaged, but they are really good headphones nonetheless!

Too sensitive
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the Headphones and thought they were cute but i did not like the fact that I could not wear them to the gym because they can’t get wet and because they were so sensitive on the outside I couldn’t lay in my bed with them! However the sound quality was amazing and they were pretty comfortable!

Theyre comfortable. They sound super good and they connect super fast. I like that it can be adjusted on the cell phone. I also like the small package in which they come.

98% perfection
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down top 5 if not the top 1 in overall spec. Comfort and Audio is just top of the top tier. If you got the money for it or see a good deal, then get it. Only downside is that it's not foldable.

Super comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfortable almost don’t even notice they are on. The noise cancellation works great, not a lot of bass. They don’t get really loud, good quality sound but not noticeable difference between other brands in my opinion. Overall really good and most comfortable headphones in that size class.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent gift for my 71yr old mother.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for my mother to use when travelling or at home. The noise cancelling is better than anything else available on the market and the comfort is above and beyond as well. They are quite expensive but these are the best ones on the market that I could find and try prior to purchasing.

Great sound and design
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used this series since M3 and its only gotten better with each iteration. The M5s sounds fantastic, great nose cancellation, the design is an overall improvement over the previous generation. The new carry case is also sleeker. One thing i miss about M4 is the NFC quick connect, M5 didn't have a nfc tap to connect.
