    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.

    I use these daily since the day I bought them, way more than my AirPods. The EQ in the app his highly customizable, the noise cancellation is top notch, and the transparency mode is also good.

    Owned XM3’s for several years now, got this set for my wife and she loves it. It convinced her to switch from her earbud only preference after having a lot of discomfort issues with other over-ear sets. Quality and performance is unmatched in all areas and still a noticeable improvement from the 3’s

    I truly enjoyed purchasing this. Got this headphones for the lowest price during Black Friday deals. The sound quality was too good. The equalizer is an additional boost but it requires some effort to get the best sound with the right settings. Just keep playing around with it until you get it right.

    Charge them before using them sound was low at first then charged them and sounded way much better i recently had the Sony Wh-1000xm4 and wasn't planning on buying these but sadly i ran them over. And I can tell the sound is better and noise cancelation is better. The only thing i don't like is adjusting i liked the whxm4 clicking. Overall really good headphones

    It is a perfect entry level headphone for music lovers, the noise cancellation was perfect I couldn’t hear anything once it was on. It felt like I was in my own little world! And the ability to turn on ambience mode with just a touch of a finger without pulling out my phone is the cherry on top.
