    I came from the 1000XM-4. It's a good headset depending on what you like and what you're coming from. If you don't mind Bose sound tuning of less bass and more mids it's not bad. I not the Google Assistant is a little more consistent than the XM-4. The charging on this headset is a massive upgrade in speed. In less than an hour at work they went from empty to full. By default the auto pausing is a little sensitive. My main gripe with these is the noise canceling microphones while on a voice call. While the canceling and voice isolation is incredible it's inconsistent. I was able to have real conversations on the phone while mowing my lawn speaking normally. At the same time the connection was shaky and inconsistent. Nice that connection becomes more solid this will be a game changing headset.
