Sony headphones

XM5 is THE BEST
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best sound so far for this series of headphones. Amazing noise canceling as always and call quality is better by far from the XM4s. Unfortunately they did away with the voice prompts, instead opting for a series of different tones that I really don’t like. It isn’t enough for them to lose a star but it is annoying nonetheless.

Sony Value
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headset I’ve owned in years. Ease of use and comfortable. Noise canceling is great but can be iffy when people are screaming around you. It will try to block there voice but is very wierd.

Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical at first when I bought these headphones but wow do they sound amazing. The noise cancellation could be a tad bit better but it does the job by dialing the airplane noise way down. Would most defiantly recommend these to friends and family.

Held up for over a year, good for everyday use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for my spouse as a gift and he really likes them. They seem a little delicate around the part where the headband attaches to the ear pieces, but he's used them daily for about a year now and they seem to have held up. He uses them for music, his phone, and work calls.
