It's kind of unreasonable to think of an item like headphones as bifl.

I do have a pair of these that I've had for 5 years and I like them - but honestly I don't think they're better than any other wireless over ear headphone. You can get 95% of the value elsewhere for 20% of the price.

XM5 came out last year. All major tech review sites say it's the best currently on the market. What other wireless ANC headphones can you suggest?

You're right, I have the XM3, which kinda proves my point. If you are connected to having the best thing, headphones will not be a lifelong satisfaction purchase.

Okay but five years still sounds like a long time considering that was still XM3. Thanks!
