    I had hoped for more from Sony's latest offerings. They leave much to be desired. As for my preferences, I lean towards the competition this year. "I had hoped for more from Sony's latest offerings. They leave much to be desired. As for my preferences, I lean towards the competition this year.

    My spouse loves it. Hopefully the headphones can stay intact this time. I had purchased the M3 in 2017 and the headband had major issues that Sony did not care to acknowledge. One can only hope they have grown to realize that customers are not intentionally breaking their headbands. This is why I support Bestbuy's electronic warranties.
