Best Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. The audio quality is incredible and the call quality is quite impressive too according to my colleagues who've noticed. I love the feature that connects to multiple devices and is able to switch between the two. The noise cancelling is very impressive and make these an all around great everyday pair of headphones.

Favorite headphones
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned a lot of different earbuds and headphones. I’ve got to say though, my favorite are the Sony xm5’s. They feel super comfortable and the noise cancellation is the best I’ve had so far. I did like how the xm4’s folded but that being said it’s really not a big deal. Though I really like Bose, I believe Sony offers better noise cancellation than the 700’s and includes more features for usage, plus the sound quality is incredible as well!

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The xm-5 appears to be made of cheaper plastic materials. Previous model sony headphones are stronger and more durable. I broke my pair of xm-5 within a few months just like a pair of beats headphones. I would prefer xm-4 for durability, sound quality is good enough.
