Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones Review
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a Samsung OLED S95B 4K Smart Television in 2022 as soon as it was release. I tried using earbuds watching my favorite television series and movies but they hurt my ears. I had been waiting for the Sony M5's to go on sale Black Friday 2023 and they did. I purchased the Sony - WH1000XM5 noise canceling headphones and the sound quality is fantastic, better than the M4's. I prefer the M5's case oppose to the M4's.

Great headphone if you don’t have a small head
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality, have been working great for me. Bluetooth connectivity is also really good, but the fit is slightly lose on my small head, so probably not a good choice for people with small heads cause it slips off especially during workouts

Great sound; great seal; buttons too many/small
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the large cups and the good seal. Easy hook up to iPhone. For an older but IT-wise individual, the instructions and accessories are somewhat confusing. Audio is great! Very expensive
