Great Earphones. Earphones blew away.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. Cancels most sounds if you chose. Very comfortable. I used when riding my CanAm Spyder motorcycle with other bikers with loud pipes. Options are to use bluetooth or plug in earphones. Expensive but worth it - $499.00. I lost mine when a big gust of wind hit me. The earphones blew away and I could not find it anywhere. So I can not provide a picture. Maybe someone will find it in a hundred years.

Always prefer sony
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the sound. I can get the volume louder than any of my ear buds and the bass is real quality. I alway liked sony products and these don't disappoint. The materials are thin leather and plastic. So i will have to be delicate. Battery life is over three days.

Best value, Top tier quality, Unique features
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Sound quality is top notch. Noise cancelling and ambient sound (transparency mode) has improved significantly from the previous model. They're very comfortable, travel case is unique with the magnetic locking mechanism, and the customizable EQ is awesome! Lastly, they work great as a Playstation headset but an external mic would be required.

XM6 really good for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgrade from the XM4, it’s been great so far, comfortable enough, and sounds great. Only some minor issues. It’s not as comfort as my Bose quietcomfort ultra. It would also be nice to be able to adjust the ambient sound level. Connect to multiple devices works well, but I am still looking for the options not to start music when connected to my iPhone. That’s kind of annoying. Nothing is perfect but it’s very very nice.

Worth the Upgrade!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] I’ve had the Xm5s for about 3 years and they have been wonderful but man the difference from xm5 to the xm6 is just crazy. A lot more comfortable I’d say the case is a lot better as the headphones fold. Best noise cancelation on any by far. I’d say it’s better than the AirPods Max.
