Comfortable and Sounds Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality in feel and sound. Great features like speak to chat, where they stop playing if you start talking and then resume in as little as 15 seconds. App was clunky for me to use at first, but with practice became easier. It analyzed a picture of my ear and then the sound got better based off the picture...WOW!

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.

Too big for my head
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought the noise canceling would help solve my working from home issue. It helps some. I wish I could control the headphones through my computer. I have to be connected to my computer for zoom. It takes time to stop connect to my phone, unconnect my phone and then reconnect my computer.

Get these headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First over the head earphones I have had since 2010. I love them. I cannot hear anything while walking down the streets of NYC. Only complaint is that people have a hard time hearing me on calls. May just be a setting.

A Blast to the Past
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headset was what I thought I wanted to replace my old Sony that was 15 years old. It seemed uncomfortable for long use. It was too heavy and too pricy. I saw so many new choices I had to try.

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.
