Best Headphones on the Market for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is better than my old Bose QC ll's and rival the AirPod Pro's which provide a better seal only because of the in ear design. Sound quality is and bass on the XM4's is better as well. Good for the type of music I listen to and I love that they give you an equalizer to really fine tune to your preference, Touch controls took some getting used to but work great and really give the headphones a nice look.

Top notch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is top notch, the bass is remarkable, the only slight zonk is the noise cancelling could be slightly better, and there is a learning curve due to being feature packed. The design quality and materials used are also of a high standard, down to the included carrying case is smartly designed, with some thoughtful features.

As good as advertised.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first pair of over the ear ANC headphones. Comfortable on my ears and no headaches from 2-3hours of use. Easy to use. I’m not an audiophile but the sound and ability to customize the settings via app allowed me to enjoy my podcasts and music without any disappointments. My wallet enjoyed the extra savings from picking this up on a sale. Looking forward to using the ANC feature on a plane when the pandemic is over.

Sound really good but possible glitch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound pretty good but once I power up the headphones, the volume starts at around 75% up even tho I never leave or even use them at this volume level. Took back first pair because of this and the replacement did the same thing. So if they’re all like this, be careful when first turning on music after powering on headphones. Not sure is these split seconds of high volumes will damage headphones. Turning down the volume all the way after powering on doesn’t fix issue either. As soon as I first press play after powering on, that’s when the volume is way too high. And unfortunately, I have to press play in order to lower the volume.

XM4s - great value & continue to out perform XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used Beats (over the ear) headphones for many years. After listening to my son’s XM4’s, I knew there was no going back. After testing the XM6’s, while there are small upgrades, the XM4’s are proven and loved by many, including our family!

Did you hear that?
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it! I was sceptical of noise cancelling headphones, so I took a shot in the dark after a bit of comparisons online. I couldnt personally go out at test any, but I highly recommended before buying based on each persons' preferences. I have larger ears and it comfortably sits over them for extended periods of time. Sound quality is great and noise cancelation takes me to a deeper dimension of my dissociation.
