Like the airpod max, only for bespectacled folk
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these for the wife, after the airpod max's didn't seem to land on the right side of the confort zone . . . . . . . on top of that, it doesn't have the robo-voice that Bose seems to be dealing with lately (great for conference calls)

Good for some, fitment may be issue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall sound is impressive, but fit issue meant I couldn’t comfortably wear these headphones for extended hours. Unfortunate, so I had to return them. Issue is the pain they cause on the top of my head no matter how loose I made the band. I would have to constantly adjust the placement of the top band and it lead to not enjoying my experience.

Superb Sound Quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this during Black Friday for around $229, and chose this instead of the XM5's due to the $100+ price difference. This headphones fold as well as compared to the XM5's.
