Sometimes, top of the line really pays off. In terms of quality to price, a store-brand cola might taste just as good as the more expensive brand name. But there are a few situations in life where the quality of an item really does warrant the added price.

Sony consistently ranks as one of the best headphone brands. They tend to impress in comfort, design, and sound quality and the XM5 headphones meet all of those criteria. But before we get into the details of the Sony XM5 headphones, we should remind you that Sony recently launched the XM6 headphones and we're in love (please act surprised). They come with a major design bonus when it comes to travel which is that they can fold up for easier storage. A potential downside is the XM6 headphones set you back about $450. If you're not in the mood for that price tag, the XM5 headphone are also awesome.
