Solid headphones

Perfect Fit, Perfect Sound, Perfect Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely incredible sound quality; I was not expecting a noticeable difference between the XM5 and XM6 in sound, nor the Bose Quiet Comfort, but it was immediate improvement in clarity on vocals for several tracks. While features like the Cinema mode don't really impress on music, it was certainly nice to watch a movie with, and latency was not a problem. The build quality feels significantly improved over previous Sony models and the carrying case with the magnetic clasp is also an improvement. The hardest pill to swallow on these is the price, but all other features and qualities considered, they feel justified.

Great sound and feel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The way they look and luxurious premium feel is top notch. The noise cancellation is out of this world. The downside is these cause a lot of sweat on the ear cups due to the material and ears get hot. Hopefully they end up selling replacement ear cups that are breathe able and don’t effect the sound.

Perfect Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are an upgrade from my Bose Qc45 headphones which I liked. Every problem that I thought I would have was not there. I thought the touch controls would be annoying, but it really is not intrusive at all. I thought some of the gestures would feel like a gimmick, but I find myself using them regularly. The build quality seems really good. The sound quality is phenomenal. But most importantly, the noise cancelling is genuinely insane. I have tested it in so many places including a crowded, loud arcade and I genuinely could not hear a thing. I love these headphones and they are definitely worth the purchase.
