I bought these after deciding between xm4 and xm5. The only feature I needed was ANC and it works great! I use them indoors, I don’t know how well they work outside in street noise. They’re very light, they charge quickly and last a long time as long as you don’t keep much distance between the headphones and the music device. They block out both low and high pitches sounds but you need to adjust the volume if using them in a loud environment. Sound quality is not bad.

Great if your indoors

Love the sound quality, absolutely stunning, if your indoors. Go outside and the slightest breeze creates a really annoying background wooshing noise and I can't figure out how to stop it. Never had this issue with my in ear headphones. Would I recommend? Maybe not if you, like me like to listen to music whilst walking.

Really happy with my purchase

I bought these a couple weeks ago to help with my trip to Thailand. Planes can be a noise place and that doesnt help when youre trying to sleep. These were different class and shut out soo much noise i was able to sleep for a good few hours. Sound really impressive, quality is better than Bose i bought at the same time. Would recommend these for sure. The new model is out but im not sure the extra ££ is worth it with these being soo good.

Good phones... BUT!

These are undoubtedly quality headphones. What they do they do very. My problem with them is I specifically wanted them to connect with my TV by Bluetooth. They do this but there is seemingly no way to sort the lag between the lips moving and the sound in your phones. The only way I can use these is to connect with a wire and that is not what I wanted to do. So buy these for any other purpose and you will probably be happy with them... but not for watching films on TV.

Just the best set since the XM3

I used to own the XM3 version but unfortunately lost them. I know there is now an XM5 but the XM4 was on sale so I decided to get these instead. The ANC is just superb. I bought these, jumped onto a long haul flight and used them the whole way. Everything gets blocked out by the NAC. I haven't even tested the extra features of this headset out yet as they are not top priority for me. But the sound quality and NAC are standouts that make this headset a high recommendation.

Probably the best headphones I have ever owned. Very easy to pair over Bluetooth. Sound quality is top notch. The noise cancell ation is excellent. Background noise disappears when wearing these headphones. Highly recommended. I gave profound hearing loss and these headphones with their background noise cancellation are a must have for me to be able to hear speech on my computer or TV.

These headphones are very effective at blocking out much ambient sound, although a small amount still gets through. Sound quality is decent if not quite audiophile, and phone calls sound clear and loud. Battery life and connectivity are both excellent and the headphones.charge fairly quickly. I am happy with their overall performance and features.

This is my first pair of headphones. Comes with a lot of features I do not use, but could see others enjoying. I use these for my tv, phone, and games and they work great. Bought at 348 dollars and price dropped. BH refunded the difference as soon as I asked. I always feel confident when I buy from this company.

Love these took them on a their first plane ride and worked like a charm. Sound great for music and movies. very comfortable fit for my ears. I've owned Bose corded and use corded Audio Technicas for recording in my studio. Bluetooth, even 5.0, still has latency for recording but for listening these are wonderful. Ability to pair to 2 BT devices concurrently is a great feature.

Just purchased from B & H. Excellent sound and build quality. I am not as comfortable wearing them longer than 2 hours, hopefully this will improve with time. There is some sound skipping when connected via Bluetooth to my TV, however; I am sure there is a solution for it. Have not had the time to research!

After a lot of research into some good noise-cancelling headphones, I am so pleased with this purchase. I bought them for personal use mainly, but as a video editor I need good quality headphones for audio mixing and these are superb, especially when working in noisy environments - they block out all the sound.

Bought for use on work calls, most of which happen on MS Teams. Microphone quality was bad on Teams, but also on regular cellphone calls (Bluetooth connection). They're well built and would probably be fine for mostly music (with rare voice use), but poor mic quality is a deal breaker for regular office use.

Noise cancelling is perfect!

I brought this a while ago as have an no issues. The app that goes with it is easy to use and means I can change certain setting. I have noise cancelling on while doing uni work but when someone talks to me it turns a mic on so I can hear them. I do turn this off while at the gym. I charge it maybe once every two weeks and use it most days for long periods of time.

We bought these for my 92 year old Grandfather, who is currently in a nursing home, his TV was so loud it was disrupting a few of the other residents and nurseing staff.

I upgraded to the XM4's from the XM3'S and I'm so glad I did. The sound quality is noticeably better it sounds more balanced and spacious. The bass is less overwhelming and sounds more accurate whilst the mids and treble sounds clearer and less harsh. These points as well as the better features and improved noise canceling makes these headphones a joy to listen to.

Just tried 'em out on 11 hour flight from LAX. The sound quality is really exquisite (used HQ flac recordings). These are now my reference headphones. The noise canceling really did its job well. My head & ears(sorry to say) are large, so comfort is tricky. I wore them for many hours straight & was very happy. Slightly costly, but I am very happy-the value is there.
