Even better than the XM3s!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Almost identical design to the previous generation (apparently the foam on the ears is a little bigger?) but they have a few new features that warranted the upgrade for me. As with the XM3s, amazing sound, comfort, and noise cancelation.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable even for someone with a very large head. I wear a size 8-1/8 hat and this still fits well. Noise cancelling works as well as any other brand I have tried. the touch commands on the ear to control music and volume is extremely convient.

Good, but could use a few tweaks to be great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Then noise cancelling function on these headphones is really good. I've never really had a pair other than airpod pros. I mainly use these while I'm studying, listening to lectures or on Zoom calls. I love that you can connect to two devices at the same time via bluetooth. These headphones are much smaller and lightweight than I thought they would be. The app you need to accompany it is okay to use, but does not have a ton of functionality. There are a couple of major points that I do not like. 1st, the padding on the earcups is not very thick. Your ears may touch the inside of the headphones if they aren't on the smaller side. I have tried to replace them with aftermarket ones, but have not found the right one yet. 2nd, the talk to speak function, it will pause headphones if it indicates you speaking, is very sensitive. It reacts to a slight clearing of the throat or other sound easily. Then it will take a few seconds to reconnect to what you were engaged in. 3rd, to get the full functionality of these headphones, such as 360 Reality Audio, you have to subscribe to "premium" apps or services that utilize it. For the price, that is off-putting.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.just bought these and i cant go back to my old headphones. the noise cancelling is absurd. battery has been good too. i dont like how its made of plastic and my only concern for anyone buying this would just to be careful with handling it. if you got the money, this is something worth buying

Great quality, functional, sleek, would buy again
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love: I love these especially for listening to music, streaming shows/movies, walking while listening to things. Great noise-cancelling feature and the ambient background noise option is great when I need a little white noise, but not full-blown noise while working in places like open-office spaces, cafes, etc. HOWEVER: The only thing I don't like about them is that when I'm on the phone, sometimes the noise-cancelling feature doesn't work as well when I'm in a crowded place with some noise and the noise-cancelling feature is actively trying to cancel noise, you feel me? That's the only thing that bothers me so far, otherwise, I LOVE THEM! Color: Headphones are professional, sleek-looking, and pairs well with my other tech things. The slightly pearl looking finish is a nice touch, especially since over-the-ear headphones can look very bulky/chunky. Comfort: Great, soft headpiece at the top, very comfortable ear pieces. I don't know about you, but I hold a lot of heat in my head which makes wearing these for more than 1 hour in the winter time (northeast US) a little uncomfortable. However, they make for good earmuffs when I'm jumping in and out of the car when shopping. Price: I paid the sale price on these which wasn't too bad, but I had to wait a year or two for them to be the price I was willing to pay. Overall: I am not disappointed! Love these and would buy them again in the future.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reason that I bought this product is because due to COVID I have to work from home and the noise cancellation and the battery life futures were the main reason of this purchase - I don't have to hear my dog, my teenager son and my mother talking and distracting me while I'm working.

Effective Noise Cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome noise canceling headphones. Great features that speak to you to let you know if it’s on or off and how much battery is left. I use this to drown out my riding lawn mower noise as I mow. With the Bluetooth function I listen to my favorite tunes the whole time.

They’re not so heavy to cause discomfort and they are very good at isolating other sounds in the room. Being cordless really makes being mobile extra good!
