Amazing Sound Quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These haedphones are the truth! They have amazing sound quality its like being in the middle of the movie, vidoe, or song you are playing. When playing a movie you can hear the ancillary background conversations on the movie. I kept thinking someone was in the room with me! The noise canceling feature is top notch, i recently took a 4 hour flight abd had a screaming baby about 4 rows behind me. I poped on my headphones, started a movie and voila no more screaming baby!! Worth every penny for me.

Excellent noise cancellation and better mic vs XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is excellent. I use these to sleep at night because of extremely noisey neighbors upstairs. I've regained my sanity! Also, the mic when speaking to someone over the phone really isolates your voice and they do not hear background noise. While walking outside, I had a conversation and the person on the other end could not hear the dogs barking (loudly) in the background. Definite improvement from the XM4 headphones. The only thing that I'm not crazy about is that they do not fold.
