Slightly better than previous gen.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the XM3 and they were great. Only issue was the battery started losing it's charge after 2 days of minimum use. These are better in noise cancelling and comfort with thicker cushions on the ears and on the crown of your head. GET THEM!!

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really can not complain for the price you don't get much better. Noise canceling is great. It works well with my phone. Battery life is awesome. I just with my phone would use the LDAC codec but that's not the headphones fault.

After using the Sony M3 buds, these were a natural
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Remarkable sound canceling, fantastic sound, comfortable for long periods of time, and they look both understated. The Midnight Blue is a great color. Indoors, it looks practically black, but once you go outside, the blue looks great.

Amazing!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used these headphones for a few weeks now and they're great. I had the Bose QC45 but decided to return those, as the XM4s were just better. They have more rich sound and more features. They also make the QC45 feel cheap in comparison. The only con is that the noise cancellation isn't as good as on the Bose. I also tried the XM5s recently and found that these sound better (and these fold inwards and have a nice case, the XM5s do not). To conclude, best purchase I've made in a while. I hope they'll last long.

Better sound than Bose!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are so good. I bought them for my daughter and tbh am a little jealous. I have a pair of Bose QC headphones but the sound quality on these are definitely better than the Bose headphones. The case is so sturdy too which makes them great to travel or just bringing around in a backpack. Got a great deal on them and am really happy with them.
