Best Headphone on the market
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did my homework in trying to figure out which over the ears headphones were the actual best on the market and they definitely weren’t wrong about these. The sound quality on these are amazing and all the cool little features like the right cup is your controls you place your hand over it and it pauses the song and your able to hear whoever is talking to you. Nosie cancellation is the best on the market. You can connet 2 devices and which from which you want to hear from. The only downfall is that your ears get pretty hot when wearing them

Mixed Emotions
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Big fan of the wh-1000xm4’s, purchased 3 pairs. Expected some noted improvements in the xm5’s and they delivered. Sound quality is great, additional sound diagnostics/information. Slimmer headband is comfortable, overall feels light and portable in a sporty way, while the xm4’s feel elegant as if to be used in a professional environment. Only complaint, and was a deal breaker for me, is the ear cushions - they are much softer than the xm4’s and when looking in the mirror you see the cusion compressed almost all the way to the earpiece. Felt uncomfortable with glasses on. If you are a first time buyer these are great; if you own a prior model you may want to consider hanging on to it alongside your new xm5’s.
