Birthday Gift for Myself
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am in love I treated myself to these for my birthday. It was a richer clearer sound. A single charge lasts awhile. My only complaint would be I also have Samsung buds pro, and i like that when i start talking it lowers the sound and starts back playing soon unlike these that take longer.

Best headphones I have had.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I work 10hr days in a loud environment. With these I can still hear my audio nice and clear. The amazing battery life on these means I can listen all day at work and not have to fret if I forget to charge them at night. I'll take these over beats any day.

XM4’s are awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones. The sound it great. I had to use the eq to clear up a few things, and the app was kinda buggy until recently. Overall great value, and you will not be disappointed. I miss some of the functionality because I have an iPhone, but overall I’m happy with them. They do get warm around the ears after about an hour or so for me, but I have yet to find a super comfortable over the ear headphone. Don’t like the touch controls, or the custom button.

Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found these headphones to be very comfortable. They work as advertised. The volume control on the right earcup needs a little work but they are quite satisfying. I would recommend them over the apple iPods max as the max is much heavier. The app works very well. Noise canceling is very good.

Better than my Bose 35’s sound and noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are serious! If you want better than average noise canceling, and some good control over how to listen to your music with the App, a good bass boost, and 360 audio sound. These do the job with a great battery life for all day listening.

Excellent noise canceling headset
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are very good. The build quality is sturdy, but very lightweight. Battery lasts a long time, at least 15 hours on a charge. I really like the companion app which allows you to personalize and fine tune the noise cancellation/ pass-through audio settings.

Great price. Beats the Bose.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved it so much I bought my in-laws the white and blue one. The sound is excellent. The Bass is not heavy. Worth the price. I know the 1000XM5 is out but I can't imagine it being that better than what they have already made. The battery is great.

Good value and quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable to wear and do an excellent job of cancelling external sound. These work particularly well when one is playing music. And the quality of the speakers is very good. But just in case you think that these will cancel noise effectively without playing music - like if you want to do homework or something else and just block out noise - don't, because that won't happen. All in all, a great set of earphones though, and good value for the money.

Super comfortable & top of the line ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was considering getting the cheaper version of Sony's ANC headphones but after trying side-by-side, really there is no comparison. If you want a pair of headphones you can wear comfortably for hours and have some of the best noise cancellation, these really are the top of the line.

Dear Headphones: Stop listening to me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound plus lighter and more comfortable than previous generation. My complaint: the xm4 keeps listening to me and pauses the audio every time it thinks I'm talking, such as when I cough or breathe. Please show me how to disable this useless feature!
