Great headset
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headset was a game changer for me. I love using them while traveling. They pretty much block out any unwanted noise. The sound is great. The sticker price is up there but it's worth it to me.

Great sound great noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is amazing and the noise canceling does a pretty good job. Doesn't block everything out but I don't think that technology exists yet. Using the noise canceling while listening to music makes me feel like I'm in a soundproof room within the office.

Love
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've just had these for a few days. That being said I love them. Came from the MX3's and these are so much higher quality. No squeaks from the frame. Noise cancelling is much better thann the 3's and so is the over all sound quality. So far I love them.

best so far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second gen (I skipped XM4) and my favorite so far. It's great that you can connect with two devices at once via bluetooth, though this operation feels less than polished at least when moving between MS teams on a laptop, and your phone. I like that you dont need a separate mike b/c the sensitivity on this mike is superb and people can hear you even with an A/C activated in the same room. The 30 hour battery life and fast charging means it will outlast you on an given day. I would recommend.
