amazing sound and ui, only found one con
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love these headphones, they look like pebbles & the noise cancelling on these bad boys make you feel like you’re exiting a pressure chamber when you take them off. 10/10. the only thing im not a fan of is that they collect sweat when you work out in them. and maybe thats my fault, and i shouldnt be working out in them. other than that, seriously so perfect.

Sony XM5
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones have great sound quality for everyday users. Most advanced adaptive noise cancellation in its class. As for connectivity with Apple it can’t real contend with headphones like AirPods Max or Beats.

First “noise canceling” tech that works
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive got a pair of Bose noise canceling phones (QC 35) and QC earbuds that i thought were as good as it gets.

They’re great, need improvements
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these for about two years now. The sound is AMAZING but they kept shutting off and recently they just fell apart??? I mean literally. I go to put them on and one ear piece falls out of the head piece part. Now I have to get new headphones. I would be great if they improved these issues.

Overall a great choice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are super comfortable to wear all day and the microphone is very clear during meetings. I will say not being able to connect to multiple devices at once has thrown me off a little bit. The battery life is phenomenal.
