Good
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling if you’re set on having top quality technology. The app is beneficial to use for eq and adapting to your ears. These have very clear and balanced audio. Unfortunately I can’t give this pair 5 stars due to them not being as loud as I would like. I tend to listen to my music full blast.

Very comfortable & excellent noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable headphones with excellent noise cancellation. Very good sound quality. The only issue I faced is with connecting iPhone and Macbook at the same time. When connected to 2 devices and I pay and stop audio from Macbook and later try to play from iPhone, it doesn't play. I need to disconnect Macbook in order for audio from iPhone to play.

Excellent sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the xb910, and the sound wasn’t quite to my liking, even after going through all the sound settings. I returned them and purchased the xm4, and was instantly pleased with the sound. And even more so after going through and setting up my sound preference. Super happy with the sound quality. It doesn’t get super loud as some have mentioned, but that’s probably not a bad thing, as it may save our hearing. And it looks a lot better than the xb910’s.
