Too many small problems
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great. So is noise cancelling. You can only connect this to two devices, which is one less than the previous model. Also, these dont fold so the case they come in is gigantic. Also also, they stick out further so I kept hitting them on things accidentally. If you havent used the previous gen of these headphones (the xm4’s) then I’d say these are good. However, having used the XM4’s, these feel like a step backwards in too many ways.
