    Chose these after researching reasonable alternatives to Apple Airpods Max and am not disappointed. Sound is impressive and noise cancellation is reasonable. My guess is that the Apple headphones are more comfortable on the head after a while, but these aren't bad at all.

    I first purchased the XM4 they were great but just not tight enough to keep out noise. I decided to return them and spend a little more on the XM5 which did fit a little tighter but there was some terrible feedback I don't know if they were broken, they were brand new, so I just decided to return them and am trying out the raycon pro. Was super excited because the noise canceling according to all reviews I read online said the five was better noise canceling than the four.

      Hi Harsha, We are glad that you like the the features of your new headphones. We are sorry if you have to disconnect and reconnect the unit when switching between devices. The WH1000XM4 supports multipoint connection. This means that the headphones can switch easily between two audio sources without needing to go through the normal Bluetooth reconnection process.
