Great Headphones!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones work great! I'm still trying to get the hang of how to work them to their fullest but overall my experience has been great expect when I charge them for the first time, they didn't want to turn on or connect to anything but I charged them again and it started to work. I like these headphones, I just hope that when I charge them, it won't have that same issue again.

Close but no cigar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am crazy about headphones! I have a few dozen that I have collected over the past 30 years. These xm4’s are solid performers with great bass and sound cancellation. But to me, phone / Zoom calls were a little thin sounding. And the sound quality was very muddy in the mids and highs. And a very narrow sound stage. To me the sound signature is better on the Sennheisers. Not worth 350$ iMHO. 199$ Would be closer to the value. Many may disagree and that’s okay!
