XM4 Bluetooth with LDAC is amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you start using the XM4's with the Bluetooth LDAC codec they transform into a hifi wireless delight. Im using the hifi Tidal streaming service for maximum effect. Im not an audiophile expert, but OMG they sound good. Right now Im hearing the "Alice in Chains MTV unplugged" in Tidal and my ears are in that room.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good. If you have AirPods Pro the noice cancellation on these are about 25% better(in my opinion). AirPods Pro have an overall more clearer sound while these ones tend to sound more cloudy BUT they are one of the clearest over-the-ear headphones I’ve ever owned. They are more bass heavy than AirPods but not as much i would want them to be. In fact, I wouldn’t even categorize them as bass heavy at all even with the equalizer. Basically they give you a nice overall sound.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great value. Awesome sound quality and noise cancelling. Appreciated that it came with an adapter for airplanes. Only con is that I wish it could charge and play at the same time. Unfortunately it turns off as soon as you plug in the power.

Excellent wireless headphones.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent pair of headphones for working in a noisy office. Bluetooth functionality is easy to use. Noise cancelling muffles the sound without completely muting everything, making it possible for people to get my attention while still not being distracted by other sounds nearby.

Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great headphones, the noise cancellation is amazing and customizable which is neat. If you want good quality music and bass go ahead and grab you a pair of these but only down side is these really can’t be used for the gym they slide of easily which is the only down side Over all good to just kick back and jam out.
