The perfect headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphone quality is amazing and there are so many options and settings available on the app. The UI on the app is very easy to use as well making it quick to switch modes. I work in a factory where we can listen to music and these headphones are always on me and they help so that I don’t have to hear all the loud noise around me with the noise cancelling mode. Great product!! My brother put me onto these headphones:)

XM4s are whatever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, after having these headphones for a while, I think they're all right. I bought them because I was going on a big trip, and on the plane, they held up pretty good and were nice to have. However, I also brought my AirPods to see the difference, and to be honest, it wasn't that much of a difference that 300 dollars is buying you. These headphones sound great, and that's pretty much all they offer: good-sounding wireless headphones. However, I can't say it's worth the $ 300 price tag. I'd say if you're looking for good quality headphones,s they're other options better for your pocket to,o and If you already own noise canceling wireless headphones like AirPods Pro 2nd gen or of the same generation, I'd say just stick with as these headphones are really that much of an incentive to buy them they're also from 2016
No, I would not recommend this to a friend XM4s - great value & continue to out perform XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used Beats (over the ear) headphones for many years. After listening to my son’s XM4’s, I knew there was no going back. After testing the XM6’s, while there are small upgrades, the XM4’s are proven and loved by many, including our family!

xm4 > xm5 : For the price and comfort, xm4 win.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had both the xm5 and xm4, and yes, the xm5 sounded slightly better. But not $200 better. The xm4 are also more comfortable for big heads like me, along with big ears. You can get these on a great deal (usually $250), which I am extremely happy with.

Stellar headphones for noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! I needed a pair of noise cancelling headphones and these didn't disappoint. There are 3 noise cancelling settings, and I've found the off setting still drowns out enough noise. The max setting it boots with each time is wayyy too strong for my taste and it's a weird sensation having no noise at all thanks to the noise cancelling tech. Anyone who needs zero noise will definitely appreciate that though! The headphones themselves feel premium, and the case is wonderful! Very easy to take on trips. Audio itself is just good, but given all the features and quality of the headphones, that is fine with me in this case. I would recommend these to anyone looking for over-ear noise cancelling.

EXCELLENT headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these for my daughter after she started eyeing mine. I'm a bit of a headphone hoarder and have way too many pairs given that I only have 2 ears. The sound on these rivals the AirPods Max, for a much lower price (about half at the time of this review). The noise cancelation is amazing, the sound quality stunning, and the best part - they fold up, unlike their expensive competition. If I'm going on a trip and space is at a premium, I'm choosing these over the AirPods Max. For me, I can't really even tell a difference in sound. I wanted to buy the xm5 for myself, but honestly I can't justify it as mine still work perfectly.

Excellent Sound and Confortables
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality. I have a hard time with over ear headphones because they make my ears hurt if I use them for extended periods of time.

Nice SOUND headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is very good, much of the surrounding "noises" are nullified by the snug fit. It's comfortable for long periods of time, the jack/cable are high quality construction and the headphones themselves are of "sound" quality. I highly recommend this product!

WH-100XM4 Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones! You can hear a lot of the detail. The balance between the vocals and bass is perfect. The Noise cancellation on the headphones is great. It doesn’t cancel out every single thing but other than that it is good. The app it comes with as well is leagues above the others.

The World Will Cease to Exist
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great depending on what you are listening to. I plugged it into my radio and at first the sound kept cutting off and on but once I was settled in my chair, it was great. When I plug it into my MP3 player and start exercising, there is occasional static. But there is nothing happening to make me want to return them. Once I get into the music, I don't notice any imperfections. They will make you forget the world exist around you. The noise cancellation is awesome! I purchased these so I could listen to music as my family watched TV. I was in my chair waiting for my sister to cook breakfast. I kept looking at my watch because it was taking so long. Finally I went into the kitchen and my food was on the table. I asked my sister why she didn't call me and she angerly stated she called me four times and I ignored her. I had to explain I had my "Noise Canceling" headphones on so I literally couldn't hear her. :o) It was AWESOME!
