Amazing headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones. Got them for a plane trip and for once I didn’t hear the planes engine or anything else around me. Highly recommend. And they’re lightweight which I love too.

Vast sound quality improvement over the XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not expect any major changes besides the aesthetics but the sound quality on these is so much more dynamic and sharp than it is on the XM4s. The noise cancelling in a way is improved but it sounds like it is always adapting to background noise and your head movements which may bother someone using this to nap with.

Best carrying case in the game
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like this better than the Airpods Max. Not as seamless as apples headphones for the apple ecosystem, But fit and comfortability wise I would definitely choose this over the other. ANC feature is nice and carrying case is really nice.
