top noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the noise cancelling is excellent and the weight is super light compare to the other product. However, the sound quality seems to be relatively poor compare to its same level product like the momentum 4 and B&W px7s2.

Battery length
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are excellent headphones. I have only one problem, the battery is crap compared to the 1000XMS. They do last all day but the older model lasted for 2-3 days. I know more electronics but that's a pretty steep drop-off.

Comfy with great build and sound quality!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
