    Love the ANC and the sound response. One caveat with these over the ears is that they can heat up your ears. I can last for an hour or so. Also, not good for the plane, the prior model is better, folds up better. Pretty pricey as well.

    Best Noise Canceling in the market they don't have a competitor, but for a $400 dollars headphones the music volume is extremely low compared to other headphones. If you're looking for noise Canceling feature these are your options but if you want a great headphones overall, I recommend the previous version the XM4 because they have a better music sound and the noise Canceling is kinda close to the new ones and you still have all the features and gestures on the right side of the headphones. XM5 they are not bad but the xm4 are better overall on my opinion.
