Good but expensive
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought both the white one and black one. But I prefer black even though the black one attracts more stains easily. Noise cancellation and call quality are one among the best. But audio quality is not at its best for the price point. It could have been little cheaper. Aesthetic wise these feel very cheap compared to xm4

Overall Great headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has pretty decent ANC. The only issue issue i have with ANC is the wind noise. Sound quality is great, the build itself is nice, comfortable, and looks and feels premium.

Top notch head phones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these 2 years ago. These are the best headphones I've ever owned. I use them 24-7, from the office to the gym and around the house. They've fallen off my head and hit the ground numerous times. And still, keep on ticking. Unparalleled sound quality. With the best noise canceling you'll ever hear.

Bluetooth connections
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I prefer the XM4s Because you only need an auxiliary cord and can have them turned off to plug into a PC. The XM5s To be used by Bluetooth, which uses battery and has a bit of delay versus using the auxiliary

great, but too expensive.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable ear pads. Sound is great. Downside is the price. Really expensive, so it takes away from the value. Because of the price, I do not recommend.
