Better than expected
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was debating whether I should get these over the airpods max until I started to see review for both headphones from youtubers and audiophiles and mostly they were saying that the xm5s or xm4s would be a better pick than the AirPods max considering the overpriced headphones is heavy and can be uncomfortable for longer periods of listening times. 100% recommended

My son enjoys useing them everyday when he works out and also the hand gestures that you can wave your hand over the right side of the headphone makes it lot real easy instead of clicking on your phone or pushing the button... I would definitely recommend to anybody that works out and wants noise cancellation to stay focused...
