Awesome thanks for the write up! The headphones I'm replacing are XM3 but I've had them over 5 years now I think and they're showing their age (just aesthetically as the cushions are starting to crack, and flaking isn't far away imo) so I suspect I'll go for the XM5 as I've been really happy with these.
For gaming I think I'll stick with steelseries (assuming they still have a model that does replaceable batteries) as I always forget to charge stuff so the base station charging the spare has been awesome.
Thanks again!
Anytime!
If you want to extend the life of your XM3's you can get some high quality upgraded cushions from "Wicked Cushions" for $30. They have a couple of different styles other than just straight black.
