Comfortable for glasses

They're good
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're very good after 2 years of use. The little friction pads for the Headband fell off after about a year but it doesn't affect the noise at all. A little expensive but definitely worth it for headphone enthusiasts

Its alright
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Depending on your environment, this can be an upgrade or an downgrade from the XM4. Im no audiophile, so my experience is of an average user who enjoys music in the office, mostly to drown out the office noise. When the noise cancelling works, its better than the XM4. The important word there was "when". You can control the level of noise cancelling, it's either on or off (then A.I. handles strength based on environmental sound). Whereas, on the XM4, you can set the strength of cancelling. I understand there are reasons for getting rid of that feature; like, battery life... however, now you've got a hit or miss feature. My office isnt too loud. But, its just quiet enough not to activate the noise cancelling and just loud enough that i can actually make out what they're saying. Never a problem with the XM4.
