I bought some Sony XM5s on Friday. Was really disappointed in the SQ. Returned them and bought Senn Momentum 4s instead. The noise cancelling on the Sony’s is on another level. Truly. But holy smokes, the Senn’s sound so much better. I like them even more than my Focal desktop setup. Which may now be going bye bye. Along with all of the wires that come with using a DAC, amp, and a huge set of headphones… better still they were only $277 and the Sony’s were $399….
Strongly recommended if you’re in the market for noise cancelling headphones but don’t need the crème de la crème of noise cancelling.
