Returned due to Transparency mode

This aint it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No more NFC, cups don't flip down while wearing them around your neck, and not an insane difference in sound quality compared to the previous versions. Plus they're $50 more? Nope. Bought these hoping they would replace my M3's, but they just aren't it. If NFC doesn't matter to you (which I can assume it doesn't for most) and you don't already have the M3's or M4's, these will probably be a good buy. Still, you'd probably be better off getting the M4's, the M5's are only okay.
