Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as a Black Friday deal but the newer version, the WH-1000XM5, have recent come on the market and that has lowered the price of the XM4's. They are still a top tier noise cancelling headphone. Until the XM5's came out, they were considered by many the best on the market. At the new cheaper price you can not beat the XM4's for quality and function. I love these headphones.

Pretty upset
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these back in June of 2023. They were amazing. The noise canceling was awesome. The sound was awesome. Just about every feature was great. Then in March, a mere 8 or so months later, they stopped charging. I tried looking up a fix to this issue and it seems that this is a pretty common occurance. Not what I expected out of a $300 pair of headphones. I'm pretty upset as I likely now have to send them in to be repaired.
