    These are good headphones and similar to the XM4s but they arent as comfortable. I could wear the XM4s for hours but these get uncomfortable within an hour. This could be different for you. Also, the cushion is this and even eating which moves your jaw, “breaks the seal” of the cups and you can clearly hear outside noise. Overall good headphones but you can save money and get better with XM4s

      Hi Hollywood, We're glad that you like the headphones. We're sorry if you find them uncomfortable within an hour of use. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. The headphones has a slider, please try the adjusting the slider to get the best fit.

    Dont waste your money. The xm4s sound just as good and more are way more comfortable. The headband portion is actually painful pulling on my hair. Pretty sure they didn't test this product with enough femakes in the mix. Waiting for my hair to fall out. Yrs, its that bad. Pretty sure that i will have a bald spot eventually.
