    My head is a little big, so it would be better if it could be stretched a little more, but it is very comfortable to wear, and the sound noise reduction function is really perfect. I have been watching this headset for a long time, and the discount on best buy made me get it. Thanks to this store

    Design Flaw

    with the time I had with these headphones I can say that they are a really good pair of headphones in terms of noise cancellation and amazing sound quality, however this product does have its fair share of drawbacks. The material that it is made out of makes it easy to break, although I have not broke my pair of headphones, there has been a design flaw that I have unfortunately come across. The design flaw are the hinges that connect the headband to the headphone cups and they tend to break easily without any external factors that caused it to break. I have researched about this problem on the internet, and this is a common issue that has not yet been resolved. There are numerous complaints about these headphones and their poor durability. I only had them for about 6 months, I put them on and then all of a sudden they are broken. I am actively trying to get them replaced, fixed, or refunded because this is not any of my fault rather Sony's fault and they are being difficult. If you are having the same issue file a complaint with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and explain the situation. If you took the time to read this, please reconsider buying this headphone there are plenty of other options available, thank you!

    These headphones have the best nose cancellation and sound quality ever!! but it does need to lose 2 stars just for how inconvenient they are to travel with because they don’t fold up, and they fit pretty lose, they slip whenever I’m exercising which is what I mainly got them for. One time my friend tried them on and starting nodding her head to the music, and they flew off and chipped

    I've been using the Apple AirPods Max for the last 2 years and noise cancelling of that headphones is amazing. Unfortunately, lost my headphones and started looking for alternative. I auditioned the M5 from my casual ears, music and movie audio is comparable to the Max. The noise cancelling though is I found a bit weaker than the Max. I do love the option to cover the right cup and you'll instantly hear your surroundings ambient sound. Overall, with being cheaper than the AirPods max, this is a great headphones
