    This is challenging. They sound really good, but I got them because of their ability to connect to multiple devices. First issue was they have problems with windows 10. So I had to jump through hoops to get them to work. I have been using them at work for about a week now. To be honest I plan on returning them. After a few hours of wearing them my ears are very sore. Their features are very cool for the noise cancelation. The way you can have the sound stop when you talk. Really cool while wearing them in an office setting....unless you have a cold or cough. Yeah they shut down for 10 secs with every cough. My main reason for returning them is I don't feel they are worth the $300.00 I spent on them.

    These are the 2nd pair of Sony M5 I have purchased (1st pair was stolen) and they are the best headphones on the market. Before I bought them the 2nd time around I did hours of research trying to find others at a better price but I always came back to these headphones. Great fit, amazing battery life and so far no complaints.
