    Great upgrade from my xm3. I love the new design. If I had one gripe, it’d be that you cant fold them over anymore for minimal storage. But that’s not a deal breaker for me.

    Great sound with adjustable equalization with app. Outside noise diminished greatly. Only thing I miss is voice announcing bluetooth connection, battery level, power off. New model just has beeps, no voice announcements.

    Great headphones, I was in between these and the airpods Max. I like the look and feel of these better. Was worth sacrificing some of the apple features. I use these for teams calls, listening to music and while traveling. The noise canceling is top tier.
