    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.

    I have used these headphones for a few weeks now and they're great. I had the Bose QC45 but decided to return those, as the XM4s were just better. They have more rich sound and more features. They also make the QC45 feel cheap in comparison. The only con is that the noise cancellation isn't as good as on the Bose. I also tried the XM5s recently and found that these sound better (and these fold inwards and have a nice case, the XM5s do not). To conclude, best purchase I've made in a while. I hope they'll last long.

    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.

    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.

    Granted, I've never shelled out for a really good pair, but now that I am listening with these headphones, I get it. The balance is incredible. The noise canceling is amazing. The toggle between ambient and noice cancelling is super easy and quick. The features are great. Bluetooth works great. No problem with phone calls. Tested and the other person heard me great. Kept noise cancelling on while I was talking and found I could still hear my voice, which was nice, but could listen to music with noise cancelling on and couldn't hear someone talking to me. I had this on a wish list and then the price dropped, so I went ahead and ordered them. Really glad it did. Extremely pleased and excited to really enjoy and deeply listen to music.

    For the price these really are great. Easy to travel with, calls and music sound great. Easy set up, what else do you want? Battery life us great for an 8hes work day, oy complaint is that when it warns you you have low battery....what it really means is you have less than 5 min. Minor complaint for an otherwise great set of headphones.

    Solid sound. Easy on the ears. After spending hours on video calls, we needed a product that didn't make our ears hurt. Perfect choice. A little tricky to set up for video calls at first, but we figured it out.
