The most comfortable headphones I've ever used.
I returned XM4 for these why? Well the XM4 where uncomfortable after about an hour while these i can wear literally all day with zero issues.Noise cancellation is slightly better on the xm4 but not by a huge margin.Sound quality is also very slightly better on the XM4 after eq, stock they would be about equal (forgive the non audiophile responce, I'm not too knowledgeable in that stuff to explain in detail)Despite the slightly better ANC and Sound Quality on the XM4 they where let down by the comfort which is where these shine.Multipoint connection on these works perfectly between my PC and Iphone while the Xm4 took half a minute to change device while the bose is almost instant.

I was having a hard time deciding between these and the 700s but had a chance to try both on… these were far more comfortable and have better battery life. Sound quality seemed about the same.

The big kicker for me is I like having physical buttons to feel for and push which these have instead of just touching headphones that make random changes depending how many times/long you touch it like the 700s. Having the physical buttons there is something I still like having. Touch control always accidentally gets pushed when laying down with them and it screws with the sound.

Got these to replace my Sonys after my puppy chewed out one of the speakers and they’re pretty close to being just as good.

Featuring top-of-the-line noise cancelling technology, these headphones excel in blocking out external distractions like no other. The sound quality is equally remarkable, delivering an impressive audio experience. With its plush ear cups and well-padded headband, the comfort level is truly outstanding, ensuring a pleasurable experience even during extended use. Moreover, the extended battery life and versatile Bluetooth connectivity further elevate the overall user experience, adding convenience and flexibility to the mix.

I think these are almost perfect. Sound great. Comfortable. Huge battery life. The only negative is that I use these to try and block out the sound of my baby in the night while sleeping and his white noise machine is sometimes too much for the headphone's noise cancelling circuit if it is turned up too loud. It tends give a short sharp static sound, similar to the sound of plugging in a guitar to an amp while still turned on, that wakes me up every 15 minutes or so. I then just about get back to sleep and it happens again. I would have thought a white noise machine would be no problem for noise cancelling headphones of this price???

The noise cancellation is a little below the Bose 700. They are more comfortable to wear for me. The battery lasts longer and there is a cable included if you need even longer. Would recommend these over the 700 unless you REALLY need that bit better noise cancellation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, comfort, and noise canceling
Reviewed in Canada on 29 December 2023
Colour: BlackVerified Purchase
Really enjoying these headphones so far. Owned for about 6 months now, I think. They are quick/ efficient at connecting to my phone's Bluetooth, which is nice. Never had an issue with that. (Bose's 'earbuds' on the other hand, which I also own and have replaced a couple times thru warranty for various reasons... I've had consistent issues with them connecting via Bluetooth to my phone.)

These headphones have good enough sound quality for me. A decently balanced sound.

The clamping pressure is pretty good, fairly light. I can wear them for long periods of time without too much issue, but maybe it's not the most comfortable on the crown of my head after wearing a while. Still, a ton more comfortable than my old GSP500 Sennheiser/Epos headphones were; and much better binaural/spacial audio than them, too. (I can hear directionality of sounds in video games again, whereas that was mostly lost with my Sennheiser/Epos GSP500 open ear ones.)

I like the carrying case for these, too. Compact, somewhat hard, zipper-up. The headphones collapse and fold inward a bit to fit in the case. I like it! You may not notice at first or second glance, but there is a small visual diagram in the carrying case showing you how to find them to make them fit. Very helpful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Literally one of my best purchases
Reviewed in the United States on 10 December 2023
Colour: BlackVerified Purchase
I got these because they supposedly had decent noise canceling, and they were light weight.

The noise cancelling is pretty good, and you can't really hear much at all if you have music on, but you can still hear everything (just muffled) with no sound playing. Which is ideal for me, and something I really like about this product.

They are also not that heavy, and don't give me awful headaches like a lot of headphones do.

The sound quality is also GREAT.

The only downsides are that the mic is a little quiet, and you won't be able to be heard over the phone on a windy day. And they aren't super tight on my head, so they do fall off easy if you're doing even light jogging.

They also connect to your devices pretty quickly, especially if you use the same device over and over. The only problem is when someone decides to borrow them, and then it has to test that connection first the next time you pick them up. Even WORSE if they're in the room because they will constantly connect to that device haha.

That being said, I use these at my desk, and to walk to class all the time. The battery lasts ages (although it does take a little while to charge), and they're super comfortable. The case also keeps them nicely packed, and they are much sturdier than they look. I usually just put them around my neck to leave the house, and honestly I have had no problems with that in terms of wear.

I've had them for a little over a year now, and I use them just about every day, and they are showing ZERO signs of wear or tear. I would HIGHLY recommend these.
