Great Headset

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.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling and sound quality is near perfect, 4 stars because it is quite prone to distortion when you connect it to things other than your phone that can go higher in volume, and even when you connect them to your phone wired sometimes.

Works fine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are light and and sound fine. There is a pressure point on the top of my head with prolonged use where the bridge contacts my head. The discomfort is not immediate, but it does become pronounced over time. I think that all headphones likely have this issue with prolonged wear.
