Great pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great pair of headphones. Long battery life. I would charge them every 2 days or a bit less. Comes with a durable travel case and Usb-C cable. Sturdy and durable design for the headphones. Apps works great but could use a few updates.

Good, not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfy, work well, sound good, not great. Maybe I was expecting too much. LDAC must be used on my Note 10+, sounds like mud otherwise. Problem is, using LDAC doesn't allow pairing to two devices. Otherwise, many cool features. I would recommend them when they're on sale. I like the blue color.

MUST HAVE
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried 3 of the most popular headphones to find the best one. (AirPods Max, Bose 700, Sony XM4). All are great but these stand out a lot more in my opinion because of great sound and fit. Also cheapest of the 3 so W all around.

Slightly better than previous gen.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the XM3 and they were great. Only issue was the battery started losing it's charge after 2 days of minimum use. These are better in noise cancelling and comfort with thicker cushions on the ears and on the crown of your head. GET THEM!!

AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE LOVE LOVE these headphones! I've had them for a bit over a year and they work like they are brand new. At first, they can be a bit tricky to use if you don't find the right settings for you, but once you adjust the settings to your liking and fit, they're the best. I would recommend using and buying when going on walks and to study. The battery lasts so long which is such a plus! 100% charged can last a whole day and sometimes even up to more days depending on the use you give them. I recommend to give them a try!

Noise canceling is great. It works well with my phone. Battery life is awesome. I just with my phone would use the LDAC codec but that's not the headphones fault.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Remarkable sound canceling, fantastic sound, comfortable for long periods of time, and they look both understated. The Midnight Blue is a great color. Indoors, it looks practically black, but once you go outside, the blue looks great.
