Excellent Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only other set of noise cancelling headphones were the airpods pros and these are significantly better. It is somewhat eery how silent it is when they are turned on and on sound is playing. Good battery life and easy to switch between two devices.

Wow!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality. Sleek design. Noise cancelling is exceptional. Sometimes I wish there were buttons on the back of the ear instead of touch response on the headphone itself but overall very happy with purchase.

Awesome! If it’s not broken don’t fix it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 pairs for my wife and I. I had the previous generation 1000xm3 and I loved them, when I heard that the 1000xm4 was coming out I sold the xm3. I they look more are less the same except a few additions like the on ear sensor that’s inside the left ear cup. The cushion on the top of the headphone is smaller. They also took away the ambient noise control button. Out of the box they sound just as good if not slightly better than the xm3. I love the new features they added like, connecting to two devices at the same time, when you talk the headphones let’s ambient noise, and when you take them off it pauses what ever you’re listening too all in all a great product! I’m more than satisfied.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Before I decided on these, I picked up Bose NC700, and I prefer these over the Bose. I find them more comfortable than the Bose, and they sure sound better to my ears. Highly recommended, especially if you find them at a discount.

Love em.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love them. They are the best sound you can get for headphones that have all of the mobile friendly features that these have (Bluetooth, noise cancel, airplane adapter, mobile app with eq adjustments, multi device connections, nice travel case, wired & wireless). If you strictly want the best audiophile headphones you won’t find all of these features. With these features though, these are the best sound quality cans you can get. Maybe not out of the box, but with eq adjustments you can fine tune in the mobile app. You will NOT be disappointed by these. - budget audiophile hobbyist who uses these for best sound quality while on the go.

Amazing Sound Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am no longer able to use in ear headphones so I needed over ear. Although the price had me hesitant, these headphones are definitely worth the money. The sound quality is amazing, they fit great and it took over an hour before sweat became noticeable.

Headphone King
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are the best headphones I've purchased so far. I'm a huge fan and loyal customer of Bose but these headphones are up there or even might be better than some of their top tier products. Very comfortable and the music is superb.
