Best headphones ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Debated on the XMS5 since my nephew had a XMS4. I was completely blown away by the 5 (they don’t fold up like the 4) the sound is incredible. They knock the BOSE out the park, (my personal opinion). They also have an app that my nephew downloaded for me and I can make adjustments to the sound and many of the other features. My nephew is doing chores around my house to make extra money to purchase the XMS5.

Best ANC you can buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these headphones because I love music and I hate outside noise while listening to music so these are perfect. Paired with the Sony headphones app that allows you to build an EQ of your own you can’t go wrong. Top notch noise cancellation, a pretty good ambient mode, speak to chat, and few other bells and whistles make these worth every penny.
