    Excellent product. The Bass, clarity of the sound, the vibration, details of the back ground instrument is harmonically combined and it delivers to your ears with the most details. Of course, the source of the sound also has to be good enough to fully appreciate the headphones. Noise cancelling is great works perfectly in the environment I am using. Mostly Airplane, Train and in the park. Voice call is nominal. It does what all the headphone would do. Overall as a NC Headphone this is a great product.

    I’ve had these for a few months and I love them! I like that there is an app to get the most out of the headphones and you have a lot of options for customization of your sound. I was on the fence between these and the AirPod Max but I’m glad I got these! These are also able to be controlled by the touch sensors on the outside of the earphone, which is a cool option.

    I love the ANC and the new mics really makes a difference when you're having a phone call in public. I wished the sound was a little more crisp and sounded a little louder! Other than that I would recommend 9/10.

    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.
