Audio Excellence
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the XM2's and the XM3's and while they're all incremental upgrades. The XM4's are by far the best ANC headphones on the market, especially at $279. These headphones easily compete with the offerings from BOSE and have a wonderful sound signature. The midnight blue option provides a high end classy look. I use these for evening listening of a wide variety of genres. The ANC is excellent to the point I've not heard someone yelling my name from just one room over. The ANC is fully adjustable so you can set yours so you can hear someone talking to you. But to cut to the chase, great headphones, worth every penny.

It is a great testament to the quality of the series that he chose to stick with the same model for his programming work, where the industry-leading noise cancellation and 30-hour battery life are perfect for long, focused sessions.

Great Sound. Excellent Features
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am someone who always used bose headphones due to their amazing sound quality. However, my friend suggested me to try this headphone and dang I was surprised. The headphones have amazing sound quality specially base if you compare with bose over the ear headphones. I really like the right ear touch feature to listen outside sound clearly. If you are looking for an amazing quality product, look no further. One con can be that I like the acoustic sound in Bose headphones better. You may have to change the settings to get the best sound for songs with low base.
