    Great sound quality. Able to connect to two different devices at the same time. The App is not very intuitive, however.

    Ill make this short and to the point. Nice case, good size, fit nice in my ears, and a good app for customization. I returned them for the galaxy buds 2 pro for half the price. Imo, i don't know what makes these worth 300 dollars.

    The earbuds are very nice but the in my opinion the case don’t hold that much battery but it something and the sound quality and base sounds amazing. Is it worth it? in my opinion yes but for other people probably not but it up to you.

    My favorite earphones. Been using the 1000s since third gen and these don’t disappoint Noise cancellation feels a lot more isolated and the music is crisp and clear. I use them for the gym and everyday activities. They have not fallen out once.

    Not bad, buy not a huge upgrade over the XM4's

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These are pretty good. Definitely seems like they are a little more refined than the XM4's, but, I'm not sure it's enough of a jump to warrant purchasing these if you already have a perfectly good pair of XM4's to use.

    It sounds great, it is a little bit weird wearing these with hats that’ll cover your ears but everything else is fine. I think the one negative will be the setup, although I do get what they’re trying to do.

    Excellent clarity for phone calls with good audio, but from an audiophile perspective, it lacks full body / bass. XM5's are definitely better than the XM4's. Overall, a great device.
