Dog ate my XM4, these are different but great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My dog literally tore my old xm4's to bits, with the money I got for her, I got these. I missing the folding of the ear cups, I miss the more practical case. Outside of that these headphones are pricey, but worth every penny, they just rock.

Wonderful
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product comes packaged in its own sleek carrying case, its not the most elegant but it will work incredibly well if you do not want to spend money on a different one, or as a place holder until a different one comes in. The sounds quality is amazing, absolutely top of the line comapred to any other retail marketed headphones out there, Bose, Apple, Beats, JBL, and other Sony products.

Great looking headphones.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Similar to the other reviews. I used to own the sony WH 4s but overtime they fallen apart. I purchased the WH 5s for an "upgrade". The bass seems to struggle at high volume. When taking off the headphone to rest around your neck, they flip up intead of down towards your chest. They look great. Sound quality 4 out of 5. They may be on price drop soon.
