Great Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these headphones before a long flight and it was AMAZING. The noise cancellation is great. Still working through all the features (there is a "smart" conversation mode; 3D sounds; etc.) so, probably more to come.

Definetly a Best Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation on these headphones is really good. On my last flight I couldn't get them connected to my AirFly pro before the trip so I put my Airpod Pro's in and covered my ears with these. I could watch my film and actually hear what was being said over jet noise.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought the X5s sounded good but these have taken it a step beyond.

Worth the upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Sony mx5 before and I loved them. I was hesitant to upgrade to the mx6 because of the price tag but after having them for a week now, I’m glad I did.
