    I purchased an another brand of over ear headphones, with a Quality name around the same price…….. they didn’t match the Sony experience when it comes to audio. So I returned the another for the M5. Very satisfied and relieved after a 350 purchase

    Design Flaw

    with the time I had with these headphones I can say that they are a really good pair of headphones in terms of noise cancellation and amazing sound quality, however this product does have its fair share of drawbacks. The material that it is made out of makes it easy to break, although I have not broke my pair of headphones, there has been a design flaw that I have unfortunately come across. The design flaw are the hinges that connect the headband to the headphone cups and they tend to break easily without any external factors that caused it to break. I have researched about this problem on the internet, and this is a common issue that has not yet been resolved. There are numerous complaints about these headphones and their poor durability. I only had them for about 6 months, I put them on and then all of a sudden they are broken. I am actively trying to get them replaced, fixed, or refunded because this is not any of my fault rather Sony's fault and they are being difficult. If you are having the same issue file a complaint with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and explain the situation. If you took the time to read this, please reconsider buying this headphone there are plenty of other options available, thank you!

    I bought these for a flight so I could watch movies on my Fire tablet. They worked great! I was able to listen to my movie without having to crank up the volume. The noise cancelling was amazing. I also liked the ability to pause the movie with a tap on the headphone and turn off the noise cancelling by covering it with my hand to hear the announcements. I definitively recommend these.

    I purchased these phones recently to deal with prolonged medical visits due to cancer. The hospital is busy and noisy - these phones are amazing. They give me the peace and quiet I need to get through my long days. Great value, and amazing sound quality. Highly recommend these if you travel, or just want some IAT (Independent Alone Time) with yourself! Rock on Sony.
