Bulky
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved loved loved the noise cancellation on these! Far superior to the XM4. The microphone is so much better too, the only thing is I feel they’re slightly bulkier than the Xm4 but it’s much better quality.

Okay for now, time will tell
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable, although they feel loose. The chat/speak is way to sensitive. I wish we could turn that off permanently, and turn it on only when we feel it would be useful. The volume swipe is nice. I use them while cutting my grass, and it helps make my 4 hour cutting go by nicely.

Posted .Hi Bubby, We're glad that you like the comfort and volume swipe of your headphones. You can enable/disable Speak-to-Chat feature using the Headphones Connect app. You can also change the sensitivity of the automatic audio detection, and change the time until the Speak-to-Chat mode ends. In the factory settings, the time until the mode ends is set to about 15 seconds.
