Comfy with great build and sound quality!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these for a few months and I love them! I like that there is an app to get the most out of the headphones and you have a lot of options for customization of your sound. I was on the fence between these and the AirPod Max but I’m glad I got these! These are also able to be controlled by the touch sensors on the outside of the earphone, which is a cool option.

Beautiful sound and noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound and noise cancellation are second to none in my opinion. If I must pick a fault it would be coming from the x4's The fifth is not as comfortable. Don't get me wrong it is still very comfortable but but the X4 is worth second to none in terms of comfort.

Excellent for music lover.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. The Bass, clarity of the sound, the vibration, details of the back ground instrument is harmonically combined and it delivers to your ears with the most details. Of course, the source of the sound also has to be good enough to fully appreciate the headphones. Noise cancelling is great works perfectly in the environment I am using. Mostly Airplane, Train and in the park. Voice call is nominal. It does what all the headphone would do. Overall as a NC Headphone this is a great product.
