Great for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very great headphones. For the price, I think it would be worth getting insurance with them, just to make sure you can be able to use them for as long as possible!

Enjoy the flight
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great travel companion, keeps unwanted noise from airplanes out so you’re able to hear the audio, I could never imagine using as a workout headset or wearing on a hot day.

ANC isnt great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are ok, the sound quality is good but the noise canceling isn't good at all. Noy sure why but I believe it has to do with the adaptive ANC. No way to change this like the previous models. Little disappointed. Also after a while it started randomly disconnecting. I ended up returning them, didn't feel worth $400
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWay Better than the Airpods Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's no way you can go wrong with this as a travel device. The XM4s might be able to fold but these premium headphones paired with an android or iphone do much more to separate itself from the pack. Cheaper price as well.

Very solid

Posted .Hi TanishkaK, it's great to hear that you appreciate the feel and sound quality. However, I'm sorry to hear that they sometimes cause headaches. Please make sure that the headphones are not too tight. Sometimes, adjusting the headband or the position of the ear cups can make a significant difference. If you are using the headphones for extended periods, try taking short breaks to give your ears and head some rest.

Not really a fan
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked the sound quality, it was pretty good. But the build quality wasn’t great. Also I thought they were too big, as in the earcups stuck out too much. To me they looked goofy. I didn’t keep them.
