ANC isnt great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are ok, the sound quality is good but the noise canceling isn't good at all. Noy sure why but I believe it has to do with the adaptive ANC. No way to change this like the previous models. Little disappointed. Also after a while it started randomly disconnecting. I ended up returning them, didn't feel worth $400

Perfectish
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything was upgraded except for the bass and volume. Cushion is better, look is modern, touchpad is more responsive and the noise drowning is a touch better. Like I said, the M4s are louder and bass-punch you harder but sound is superb as usual.
