DO NOT BUY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have never been so disapointed in a company than I am with Sony over these headphones. Sound quality is good. But they make them with cheap parts then charge you top tier pricing. I had the xm4 headphones, they broke. So I upgraded to the xm5 thinking its a new model so they fixed the issue. Nope, they have the same issue with these. When I called Sony and told them that my new headphones broke in less than 5 months. They told me it wasn't covered and gave me a link to spend another $100 to get them fixed. What terrible customer service and what kind of company sells a product they know is faulty and then doesn't even have the decency to replace them when they break due to a known issue. Disgusting

Great Pair Of Headphones Better Than Apple
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. By far the best in the market. Vocals are crisp and clear. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I would have liked to have the option to manage my bass a bit which this set doesn't have a great deal of, but I truly respect the audio balance of these headphones.
