Great noise canceling headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this because my roommates are regularly practicing in my house and it does a great job with noise canceling Only thing is the app has a feature to connect to two devices which it automatically changes the output to one device which can be strange at times

Heavy, but VERY Nice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These pair readily with bluetooth devices and have great sound. They are a tad heavy, and make my ears tender after a couple of hours. GREAT battery life and fast recharging.

Good overall
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared to the last XM5 the ANC is undeniably better but not by much and it doesn’t justify it’s price. For someone like me who wants the best it isn’t a horrible idea but still a bad deal

Can be stolen easily/no gps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It doesn't have GPS or any way to track it, so my first pair was stolen at the gym I go to and there's no way to track it, plus these aren't as comfortable as the previous version, in terms of sound and noise cancellation they are incredible, I would give them a 9/10
