Very satisfied with customer service
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m sure these were really good headphones. If I didn’t already have a pair of my own, I would’ve kept them for myself. They were a Christmas gift and they weren’t my family member wanted. That’s why I returned them.

Not Much
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn’t feel like the sound quality on these is any different compared to my current Shure SE 215 earbuds… The build is fantastic and the headphones are very small. Color doesn’t look as pleasant and vibrant as it does on photos or pictures, it’s more like a boring mix of grey and beige. Noise cancellation is better than XM3 but it still can’t do much against noise such as laptop fans or desktop fans. My head still gets hot immediately as I’m using these. Overall, it was a mistake to give these a second chance. XM4 is intended for traveling on an airplane and maybe loud cities. If you want to listen to music or play games with good sound Quality, look elsewhere. I’ll be getting Shure Aonic earbuds.
