I've owned the previous model for three years and it's still going strong.

👎 NOMarcus · 3 days ago

I'd wait for a sale. At this price I don't think the upgrade is worth it.

👍 YESPriya · 5 days ago

Flew Singapore to London with these. Slept the whole way. Worth every dollar.

👎 NOJonathan · 1 week ago

The XM5 is going for S$330 right now. Same comfort, 90% of the performance.
