Great sound quality and isolation
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the XM2s, honestly, think the noise cancelling was better on those, and the bass was a little stronger. However, the mids and highs in these are LIGHTYEARS better than them, and the headphones are stupidly lighter, making them easier to wear. Overall, much better product. Im a snobby drummer, so i know my critique of needing more bass is probably just a me problem lol

Arguably one of the best headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The seamless transitions between noise cancelling and transparency modes is exceptional for these headphones. For anyone who might me sensitive to the noise cancelling its not so tough on your ears to where it will make your ears and/or head hurt. Worth it even more when on sale.

Top of the Line
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for something with superior sound quality, in addition to BlueTooth connectivity and noise cancellation and these delivered exceptionally well. Having the ability to adjust the level of noise-canceling is amazing. They sound better than anything else on the market and using 8D audio really allows them to showcase their full potential.

I Bought 3, Great for ASD
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought my pair first (I have ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder) and loved them. I bought my partner a pair, then another for a family member with ASD. Excellent noise cancelation and sound quality. I will put them on when riding the subway and not even put sound on; just let it quiet the noisy subway. I wish they were water resistant but the build quality is solid nevertheless.

Great sound quality and convenient.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are great. The sound quality is just as good as more expensive options, and I prefer it over the XM5 since it can fold. The only issue is that the it pauses too long after a conversation.
