Buy the Sony WH-1000XM5.

A proven, industry-leading piece of tech beats an unproven cosmetic product every time.

What was compared

  • Men's Hair Loss Shampoo — R308.00
  • Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Industry Leading Noise Canceling Headphones with Auto Noise Cance... — $248.00

Five reasons

  1. 1. Proven tech vs unproven claims

    The WH-1000XM5's noise cancellation and sound quality are backed by years of independent testing and widespread real-world use, while &BAM's Thickening Shampoo relies on ingredient theory (adenosine, beta-sitosterol) without independent proof this specific formula regrows hair. You're paying for a guaranteed working product, not a hopeful experiment.

  2. 2. One purchase, years of use

    Buy the Sony once and it works for years of daily commutes, calls, and travel. The &BAM shampoo is a consumable you have to keep rebuying every month just to maintain whatever effect it has, with no guarantee results even continue.

  3. 3. Massive trusted user base

    The WH-1000XM5 is one of the most reviewed and praised headphones on the market globally, with a long track record of satisfied owners. The &BAM shampoo has no comparable independent review history to point to.

  4. 4. Real warranty backing

    Sony headphones come with manufacturer warranty and Amazon even offers 2 and 3 year protection plans covering drops, spills, and breakdowns. A bottle of shampoo has no such after-sales safety net if it simply doesn't work for you.

  5. 5. Yes, the shampoo is cheaper. Buy the Sony anyway.

    At R308 the shampoo looks like the lower-risk buy next to a $248 pair of headphones, but that price is just the first of many repeat purchases with an uncertain outcome for hair regrowth. The Sony is a single payment for a product with proven, documented performance you can rely on from day one, which is the far safer place to put your money.
