    Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Although the sound quality and noise cancelling are unbeatable in the modern day over-ear headphone league, the XM5's began to deteriorate very quickly and the hinges began to break after normal wear. I believe that for $400 it should at least last 5 years, but only managed to survive 2.
