Excellent earphones
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was always the Bose guy but my son wanted these for Xmas and when I tested them I bought two more for me and my wife. Excellent sound and noise cancelation, unbelievable battery life. The fit is also great. You can’t go wrong with these.

Great!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these to use on a long plane ride for the ANC. They worked great to dampen the super loud plane ride. The batter lasted the whole 6 hour flight and more. I have been using them as my computer headphones as well and I really like the sound quality. The one issue I have with them is I have to keep turning off the Speak Through feature, which is annoying. I use the app to turn it off but maybe once a week it is turned back on and I go to talk to my cat, dog or wife and it pauses my music/movie and it lasts for too long in my opinion. So I turn it off again. I really wish it would stop doing that.

Awesome audio & battery for music & travel
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is incredible! They're also super comfortable and the battery lasts a really long time. Amazing headset for travel. The -1 star comes from the fact that the mic only works via bluetooth, not the 3.5mm audio jack. So I can't use it for Xbox/PS gaming (requires wired connection to controller).

Sony figured it out!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have used Bose for over 8 years. Lost my headphones (left on a plane after an early flight) and decided to get these. Used to be a fan of Sony from back in the day when they were heavy into music, but felt they lacked the edge of technology. Well I am pleasantly surprised that these are excellent in noise cancelling and crisp music. Bose are really good, these are GREAT, they figured it out and are very comfortable. I can wear them for hours at a time. Uses USB-C which is nice because most of my devices connect with the same. The app does what it needs to, and one feature you may want to consider toggling is the pause every time you speak. I did not realize how much I spoke to myself out loud only to realize that I had pause the music. The touch controls on the side are also easy to use and intuitive. Would highly recommend

Excellent noise cancelling, heavy bass
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise cancelling, very comfortable. Great sound; heavy on the bass but you can eq that out. Noise cancelling doesn't remove all higher frequencies but makes them much quieter, while low frequencies are pretty much gone.

Unexpectedly good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have surpassed my expectations especially in comfortability, noise cancelling and sound quality. I got them to replace my Beats Solo pros and this pair hasn’t let me down. I miss the almost magical integration of my beats to my iPhone and iPad but these r okay since I can connect them to two devices (AND IT HAS AN AUDIO JACK). It even comes with an adaptor for a those weird airplane audio jacks

Worthy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones worked out pretty well the function of some of the multiple point pairing is sometimes a bit sluggish while using screen readers as I am but the overall experience is not terrible at all they offer a decent way of changing the EQ which helps make music filled more rich I have been confused between these and the momentum 3 as before they came out the momentum threes had a good value proposition as you could use USB c and the only downfall for the momentum free was that it only offer 17 hours whereas the XM for offers anywhere from 20 to 30 hours give or take I do think that sometimes they slide off my ears a little too easily but well see how it turns after some adjustments as it might be the way it lays on my head another thing is that song called quality is not extremely the best but does sound pretty clear where people could understand what you are saying maybe some updates will tweak to make that better but the main thing is it is a good overall worthy opponent in the headphones arena and I would say between this and the momentum three those two seem to be really good headphones the only thing that the nc700 have to offer is better audio quality because it has more Mike's but the sun profile for the x and 4 is pretty good for listening to music and having clarity in using screen readers either on a laptop or a phone and still will have some experience learning more about it

I love these headphonesss
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Genuinely my favorite thing I own. The sound quality is the greatest I’ve heard to date and as a audiophile I don’t have any complaints. Battery life is also insane and I’ve never had connection issues. Now the price is steep but my first pair lasted me 2 years of daily use with no issues until one of the ear swivels broke. Even then the audio still sounded as good as the first day I got them. I recommend these headphones to all of my friends, so if you do have the money to purchase them I say go for it. I don’t think you’ll regret it.
