Pricey investment with a short lifespan!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a year of use here we are, broken headphones! These are primarily used by a hearing-impaired adult for TV viewing, and initially, they changed the way TV was enjoyed by him. He could hear the program with having to blast his wife with the sound bar volume. These headphone have superb sound quality. The operation might be easy for a younger person but is a little difficult for the older generation (small buttons and having to use an app). However, they seemed like the perfect solution. Until now! These headphones spend their time resting on a table next to the user's chair when not in use. Despite such gentle handling, a significant flaw emerged: the headphones broke at the hinge. This appears to be a widespread issue, as my online research revealed. I'll admit, I haven't reached out to Sony yet, but reading other users post, suggest that seeking a replacement may prove fruitless. Considering the price tag of these headphones, encountering such a fundamental flaw is deeply disappointing. With that said, while the Sony WH-100xm5 headphones offer exceptional performance, their fragility casts a shadow over their overall value proposition. Should you choose to invest in them, be prepared for potential durability issues.

Best anc headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product does live up to the hype, but sometimes the auto features on the device is a bit off like it switches to anc and ambient by itself without me doing anything. Maybe its a settings problem but overall if you tune its eq, youll get the best headphones ever.
