    These are the 2nd pair of Sony M5 I have purchased (1st pair was stolen) and they are the best headphones on the market. Before I bought them the 2nd time around I did hours of research trying to find others at a better price but I always came back to these headphones. Great fit, amazing battery life and so far no complaints.

    Great headphones. Bought them because our fire alarm kept going off at work due to a malfunction. We had to keep working while it was going off. These helped soooooo much with drowning out the sound. Only downside is it would randomly disconnect while using them from my phone.

    This is my 3rd pair of headohones and imhave to say the noise cancelling has really improved in my opinion. They are also easier to stow away since the previous versions felt like they had tombe tangked and untangled respectively when taking them out and purting 5em back in the case. The design chane is a welcome one with the headband being more comfortable.
