Favorite headphones
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] I’ve owned a lot of different earbuds and headphones. I’ve got to say though, my favorite are the Sony xm5’s. They feel super comfortable and the noise cancellation is the best I’ve had so far. I did like how the xm4’s folded but that being said it’s really not a big deal. Though I really like Bose, I believe Sony offers better noise cancellation than the 700’s and includes more features for usage, plus the sound quality is incredible as well!

Work great for hard of hearing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise cancellation. I am someone that uses hearing aids so was trying to find something able to accommodate without having to just crank up the volume. These headphones achieve that by adding a lot of customization within the app. I’m also able to use them for work calls and switch between my laptop and personal device seamlessly through the dual Bluetooth connection.
