Sony is dominating as a 3rd party headphone for your devices, not because they look great, but because they perform just as well as first-party headphones or sometimes better. The new Sony WH-1000XM5 are no exception as they doubled the processor and microphone for better noise canceling while keeping the same battery life. I just wish I didn't try the Sennheiser IE600.
