WH-1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is good. Noise cancelling is good. Bass is definitely there but would not recommend if you are a basshead and looking specifically for bass. The feature to connect to 2 devices at once (a phone and laptop for example) works very well. I can get a call, end the call, then automatically switch back to my laptop.

A work-from-home staple
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been wanting these headphones for over 6 months, so when these went on sale for Black Friday, I didn’t waste a minute to buy them. These headphones are so comfortable and are truly noise-cancelling. They’re even good to use for work calls. Love that it can connect up to 2 devices at a a time, and I’ve only had to charge them 2-3 times in the month I’ve had them. Best splurge ever!

love it!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love this headset!!!!!!! It's amazing in that it sounds 3D. I don't know how they do that? The noise canceling is superb The one thing that I would say is that they skimp where the. over the ear part connects to the Upper part that goes over your head. I don't know what that would be called. I could look it up, but I'm not going to waste my time I guess to get it at this price point, they just use plastic and I've had it break twice on me and I'm so glad I got the extended warranty.

Very comfortable & excellent noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable headphones with excellent noise cancellation. Very good sound quality. The only issue I faced is with connecting iPhone and Macbook at the same time. When connected to 2 devices and I pay and stop audio from Macbook and later try to play from iPhone, it doesn't play. I need to disconnect Macbook in order for audio from iPhone to play.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice and comfortable, wish the earmuffs wouldn't produce as much heat as it does but I guess that is standard across most headphones. Great audio quality. Battery life wasn't as long as claimed. Ran out of battery multiple times after 10 hours of use.
