Beautiful sound and noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound and noise cancellation are second to none in my opinion. If I must pick a fault it would be coming from the x4's The fifth is not as comfortable. Don't get me wrong it is still very comfortable but but the X4 is worth second to none in terms of comfort.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Great sound quality. Lightweight quality material. When you wear a hat it messes with the connection and ear sensors! Try not to distort ear sensors wearing hats. Otherwise great purchase!

Excellent for music lover.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. The Bass, clarity of the sound, the vibration, details of the back ground instrument is harmonically combined and it delivers to your ears with the most details. Of course, the source of the sound also has to be good enough to fully appreciate the headphones. Noise cancelling is great works perfectly in the environment I am using. Mostly Airplane, Train and in the park. Voice call is nominal. It does what all the headphone would do. Overall as a NC Headphone this is a great product.

Way Better than the Airpods Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's no way you can go wrong with this as a travel device. The XM4s might be able to fold but these premium headphones paired with an android or iphone do much more to separate itself from the pack. Cheaper price as well.

I love it but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the ANC and the new mics really makes a difference when you're having a phone call in public. I wished the sound was a little more crisp and sounded a little louder! Other than that I would recommend 9/10.

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.
