Proof that headphones are evolving very, very well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound (well, of course), but sound dampening also works like a charm. You're shut off from construction sites, other passengers on board planes, trains, buses. Love the ability to cup my hand over the right 'phone and instantly my music turns down and I'm able to speak to someone who's addressing me. No fumbling.

Comfortable and Sounds Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality in feel and sound. Great features like speak to chat, where they stop playing if you start talking and then resume in as little as 15 seconds. App was clunky for me to use at first, but with practice became easier. It analyzed a picture of my ear and then the sound got better based off the picture...WOW!

Best in their class!

I use them almost daily, they sound excellent for wireless, and they are a total gamechanger on airplanes, subways, and riding passenger in a car. They're pricy, but you cant beat em!

Alright i guess
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From my honest opinion. These headphoes arent at all bad for nouse cancelation. They have the atmosphere that you can cgange whoch i thought was pretty cool. But a few con are one there is no bass unlike the skullcandy skullcrusher headphones. Second not loud at all unlike beats by dre. These are pretty neat though.

Cut out the @home noise when working from home!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these headphones everyday for work. Working from home i contend with washing machines, dryers, the furnace and many other noises. These headphones eliminate the noises from my world and also silence the noises from the people with whom I talking to on the phone. Smartest purchase made in a long time

Decent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy them. Price on sale was very good. The features and comfort are excellent. I find the sound could be more crisp. I'm not sure if I'm just having a hard time finding my preferred sound profile or if its the headphones. Adding base seems to wash out mid and high clarity.

Awesome Headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality for gaming on my computer. Use it with Discord and when playing games. Do need to adjust some sound settings in Windows, as usual to get the sound quality back up where it should be. After that great surround sound and noise cancelling.

XM4 Bluetooth with LDAC is amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you start using the XM4's with the Bluetooth LDAC codec they transform into a hifi wireless delight. Im using the hifi Tidal streaming service for maximum effect. Im not an audiophile expert, but OMG they sound good. Right now Im hearing the "Alice in Chains MTV unplugged" in Tidal and my ears are in that room.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good. If you have AirPods Pro the noice cancellation on these are about 25% better(in my opinion). AirPods Pro have an overall more clearer sound while these ones tend to sound more cloudy BUT they are one of the clearest over-the-ear headphones I’ve ever owned. They are more bass heavy than AirPods but not as much i would want them to be. In fact, I wouldn’t even categorize them as bass heavy at all even with the equalizer. Basically they give you a nice overall sound.
