    Dont waste your money. The xm4s sound just as good and more are way more comfortable. The headband portion is actually painful pulling on my hair. Pretty sure they didn't test this product with enough femakes in the mix. Waiting for my hair to fall out. Yrs, its that bad. Pretty sure that i will have a bald spot eventually.

    I was ready to return it within the first 24 hours of purchase. However, the more I used it the more I understood. The ear was a bit tight, this was not great if I wanted to use it for more than 2 hours. However, the more time I dedicated, the more the Ear Cushion molded to mine. Now, I have gone 5 hours straight without any issues. Great Dual Pair Connect for Phone & Laptop. { Bose were my last headphones }
