Best noise canceling on the market
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previously owned the M3 version but my girlfriend started using them and didn’t want to give them back. Met her half way on the price and picked up the newer version M4 in blue for myself. Loved my M3’s and love my M4’s just as much. Highly recommended if you want some of the best sound and noise canceling available. You won’t be disappointed!

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as birthday gift for my son. I put them on at the store to try out the noise cancelling feature and was blown away with how incredibly quiet it was with them on! Especially compared to a busy loud store like Beat Buy. They are great quality craftsmanship and sound. Not one regret on this purchase!!

Worth every Penny
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally I wanted the previous version of these but I’m glad I splurged on the newer model. Sound quality is what I expected and the noise cancelling is the best I’ve experienced. The only issue I run into is that my devices will randomly disconnect once and I’ll have to reconnect. After that there aren’t any issues. Love these either way.

Winner over QC by far
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After trying out Bose QC this was an easy winner and in my opinion, xm4 beats QC everywhere except comfort. Everything including the trade-off was more than worth it. I highly recommend it.

Pretty Good Headphones with Slight Problem
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are currentlt using the headset via Bluetooth on a PC. The sound is great but the microphone interferes with sound when used. Example, if I use the headset just as music device (ex headphones) it works great. When using the mic (ex. headset) the sounds becomes less clear. We have resolved this issue by using an external mic. The headphones are pretty easy to use with computer (except for stated issue above) and cellphone. BTW, the sound proofing is great. I would recommend these headphones based on just that.

Too big for my head and very heavy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sounded great. But I had to return them because I am a woman (pretty normal size) and they didn't adjust to be small enough to fit my ears, so they pressed on my ears at the top and made them sore after only about 3 minutes of wear. They were also way too loose to use for the gym.
