Top notch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is top notch, the bass is remarkable, the only slight zonk is the noise cancelling could be slightly better, and there is a learning curve due to being feature packed. The design quality and materials used are also of a high standard, down to the included carrying case is smartly designed, with some thoughtful features.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, this is a great product. I love the ability to be able to simultaneously connect with two bluetooth devices without having to disconnect from one of them. The sound quality, and noise cancelling is superb. There are more features than I really use, but these headphones are exceptionally capable, and easy to use. I don't think they're quite as comfortable as the prior generation (which I also use), the cushion around the ear isn't quite as soft... but some people may like it a little more firm. But that doesn't mean that they're uncomfortable, just not quite a cozy as the XM3. For the money, they're great.

Great Headset!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headset! Was hesitant at first as I don't have over the ear headphones. Mine generally been in ear. It did hurt my ear on first use, but has since gone away now that I have adjusted the headset. Able to wear it several hours with no issue. It is comfortable. Great noise cancellation. Purchased this for long travel and to reduce noise. Sounds just as good.

Noise Cancelling Headsets
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headsets. I bought them for the noise cancelling effect, which has been working great so far. After I have been able to connect them to my older TV's and Tablet, I have this,wonderful surround sound effect. Even though I did not plan buying headsets,that pricey, it definitely was a good investment. Highly recommended.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They cancel sound great, or at least softens loud noises, good sound quantity, they are really comfortable and I love the color. If you take them off it pauses what you are listening to and resumes when you put them back on. The only annoying feature is if I say something or clear my throat it pauses, but resumes about 20 seconds later on its own. All in all 5 stars.

Love these headphones!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the original XM1 (I think that is what they were called) and I returned them because I did not find them comfortable and for the price ($350) was not worth keeping. Flash forward a few years and I am a believer! Very comfortable, even for hours on end, sound is great and can now switch between 2 devices. I highly recommend this and since they are (were) on a Black Friday deal @ $298 it is a great deal.
