Great pair of headphones

Flawed construction
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely loved these headphones until a plastic component broke on the left earphone, rendering them useless. I wore them daily, they charged ultra fast, their sound quality was fantastic, and their noise cancellation was perfect for what I needed. *BUT* their shoddy cheap construction didn't make it halfway into the warranty period. Extremely disappointing. Do not buy these.

Headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went to the store looking for new headphones, and was in between these and the AirPods max. These won me over because the sound and quietness is far greater than the max. Also this is one of the best purchases ever, totally worth the money.

Sony XM5
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a must cop if you look for good sounding earbuds for a fair price. But using a different app to change the setting is weird. But overall a must if you are looking for something good.

Excellent for music lover.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. The Bass, clarity of the sound, the vibration, details of the back ground instrument is harmonically combined and it delivers to your ears with the most details. Of course, the source of the sound also has to be good enough to fully appreciate the headphones. Noise cancelling is great works perfectly in the environment I am using. Mostly Airplane, Train and in the park. Voice call is nominal. It does what all the headphone would do. Overall as a NC Headphone this is a great product.

I love it but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the ANC and the new mics really makes a difference when you're having a phone call in public. I wished the sound was a little more crisp and sounded a little louder! Other than that I would recommend 9/10.
