I know the Sony XM5s are getting a ton of hype right now, but after my M4s just bricked after barely 4 months i've decided i aint buyin shit until its been out for at least a few years so i can see how they hold up

so, fellow commie audiophile dorks, what headphones are yall using/recommending?

      Yeah it's just a better seal. I will say I used foam tips with the xm4s (I've got ear wax so need the mesh barriers) so maybe my own anc experience isn't what Sony intended, but the xm5 is something else. I tried them out with the motor running in my car and hearing the ANC kick in and everything go super quiet was a really crazy experience.

        I do too, because foam is waaaay better at blocking out noise than silicone. Any who I'll remember to check this out next year, then. Thanks
