Worth The Money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this headphones. Has a lot of features. Has decent range. You can put your hand on the right side of the headphone for temporary talk to someone without having to remove your headphone from your head. And many other features. Very light. The only negative thing is the carrying case which is bulky and won't fit easy in a carry on luggage.

Good headphones for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the Apple AirPods Max for the last 2 years and noise cancelling of that headphones is amazing. Unfortunately, lost my headphones and started looking for alternative. I auditioned the M5 from my casual ears, music and movie audio is comparable to the Max. The noise cancelling though is I found a bit weaker than the Max. I do love the option to cover the right cup and you'll instantly hear your surroundings ambient sound. Overall, with being cheaper than the AirPods max, this is a great headphones

Amazing sound but loose fit ):
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have the best nose cancellation and sound quality ever!! but it does need to lose 2 stars just for how inconvenient they are to travel with because they don’t fold up, and they fit pretty lose, they slip whenever I’m exercising which is what I mainly got them for. One time my friend tried them on and starting nodding her head to the music, and they flew off and chipped

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love these headphones. They sound better than my older pair of Bose headphones. Just wish they made them with a better material around the ear that had moisture wicking material. I use them when I mow and I tend to sweat and they slide off at times.
