    I have suffered for years from the extremely loud bass music from my neighbors. These are the ONLY headphones that take away the noise. Literally life changing and worth every single penny I spent on them. My husband has the earbud version and has had the same experience. WORTH IT.

    Absolutely love these headphones. They sound better than my older pair of Bose headphones. Just wish they made them with a better material around the ear that had moisture wicking material. I use them when I mow and I tend to sweat and they slide off at times.

    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.

    Amazing noise cancellation--when I took them off, the noise of my office AC (usually barely perceptible/unnoticeable) seemed really loud by comparison. I also enjoy my music with much more focus while wearing them. Of course, this is coming from someone who only used AirPods, so my experience is probably to be expected... but I stand by my review!! I haven't worn them to the gym yet though because I don't want to sweat in them... need to figure out how to protect these babies because they are that awesome!
