    The headphones themselves are wonderful! However, the zipper on the case broke within the first few hours of use. The case is now unusable which is a shame because it is a nice looking case. I contacted Sony for a replacement and they said it was a known issue but still could not send a replacement. Great headphones, know you will most likely need to get a third party case.

    Wanted to upgrade from my third gen headphones but the noise canceling was worse on these pair. The earcups were a bit smaller as well which made it less comfortable. The audio was about the same though which is still excellent for listening to music.

    My spouse loves it. Hopefully the headphones can stay intact this time. I had purchased the M3 in 2017 and the headband had major issues that Sony did not care to acknowledge. One can only hope they have grown to realize that customers are not intentionally breaking their headbands. This is why I support Bestbuy's electronic warranties.
