Battery life is insane
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery on these headphones last forever! I wore most of the time while working from home for a whole week and didn’t have to charge in between the 5 days. I love how minimal these headphones look and sound quality is great.

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones that block out the noise. Very comfortable, but the "pressure" (from the ANC feature) can be a bit much if you're not used to it. I love that they are compact.

Better than AirPod Pros
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are some excellent headphones. I have had apples AirPod pros for 2 years and I loved them but they always lacked in the sound quality department but as soon as I put these on everything changed. These are the best sounding headphones I have ever had. From the smooth highs and the perfect base these are a great buy for those who just want amazing sound quality with all the bells and whistles that all these earbuds have and The noise cancellation is a lot better than I thought it would be.

Essential for work from home
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's pretty easy to become distracted when you work from home and have others making noise around you. The XM4s were worth every penny solely for the excellent noise canceling. TV on in the other room? No worries. Someone's talking on the phone? No problem. They won't block every noise, but if your music is on, odds are that's all you'll hear. As for the sound quality, these will sound phenomenal to anyone who isn't an audiophile. No issues there. I haven't found much use for all the extra features the headphones have - why do I need Google Assistant if my phone is always with me anyway? The autodetection of movement/activty is also more of an annoyance, I've found it much better to use the physical button to switch ANC on or off. Perhaps it would be better if you were on the move often. All around, excellent headphones and worth the investment if you work from home.

No complaints
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love these headphones, although it's a pretty steep price, I think that for the sound quality and how good the noise canceling is, it's worth it. It would last me about a week before I need to recharge it.

Good for noise cancellation under three years
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They lasted almost three years before a loud screech came through on the left ear cup. Great for noise cancellation especially if you want to go deaf haha but really they were good while they lasted. For $300 though I expected more

Great ANC with bassy sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little bit too much bass I think. Makes some music sound a little muddy. Can probably fix this in EQ, but these were really comfortable and the ANC is really good. Recently got these for a 15 hr flight and they worked well.
