    These are literally the best Bluetooth headphones available, but they will break if pushed beyond their meager physical limits. Do not sleep with these headphones on, or you're asking for trouble. Otherwise, they are absolutely amazing. They're a huge upgrade from the XM3 and even XM4.

    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.
