    Like this better than the Airpods Max. Not as seamless as apples headphones for the apple ecosystem, But fit and comfortability wise I would definitely choose this over the other. ANC feature is nice and carrying case is really nice.

    Love my this product, especially when you workout and you don’t listen to the noise around you, you can focus on what are you doing. Also the quality of the earbuds are great. Best purchase I have done.

    Love them, I mainly wear them when I’m at school, loving from class to class and sitting down to work on some homework or reading. The ANC helps me to focus even when not listening to music. Highly recommend

    Excellent headphones, the noise cancellation is second to none and it allows you to feel like you are transported to another world. The headphones were sunk in water by accident and still got no damage, would recommend.

    These headphones are amazing, I only ever spent under $30 for headphones before so these were a total upgrade and well worth the price. I use these when i’m in the backseat of the car with my family and it cancels out all the noise and radio their playing

    Very comfortable. I bought these because I have severe insomnia due to Lyme disease. I use these to fall back asleep while listening to binaural beats or the Abide app. I fall asleep with them on all the time. I have never owned expensive headphones but these are extremely comfortable. They also silence my husband’s snoring.

    Best headset I’ve owned in years. Ease of use and comfortable. Noise canceling is great but can be iffy when people are screaming around you. It will try to block there voice but is very wierd.

    I was skeptical at first when I bought these headphones but wow do they sound amazing. The noise cancellation could be a tad bit better but it does the job by dialing the airplane noise way down. Would most defiantly recommend these to friends and family.

    Best sound so far for this series of headphones. Amazing noise canceling as always and call quality is better by far from the XM4s. Unfortunately they did away with the voice prompts, instead opting for a series of different tones that I really don’t like. It isn’t enough for them to lose a star but it is annoying nonetheless.
