Customer Reviews
I really enjoy how customizable the audio and controls are. They do feel pretty secure especially considering I have a smaller head. Could definitely use this in the gym.The control options however are a little annoying. The way to change songs and change volume are swiping up/down and side to side on the outside of the right earpiece. If you want to use these controls, you have to swipe PERFECTLY in the direction you need to, and if you don’t you’ll do something completely different.The headband is also slightly uncomfortable. It’s thinner than most headphones and not as squishy, and despite it being pretty light, the headband causes quite a bit of pressure on the top of my head. If I’m wearing it for long periods of time, I have to move the headband every once in a while to relieve the pressure from that spot. After a few hours my head begins to hurt.Although it hasn’t broken, it feels pretty fragile and I’ve seen many cases where it’s broken at the thin side pieces so beware of that as well.I’ve heard many great things about the xm4. If you’re looking for premium headphones, consider looking into the xm4 instead since I believe the audio quality isn’t much different (plus it’s a little cheaper)
This is such a good product NC actually wooorks!
I've had the M4's since they came out and are excellent for blocking my portable air conditioner sounds.The M5 headphones do not seal well around my ears so I will use them outside.
Noise cancelling is right!! Nothing sneaks in, so my teen actually can't hear me. He likes that.
This is a phenomenal unit. But I bought this one with a bittersweet taste in my mouth because the previous model that I bought of this unit, which also performed wonderfully, suddenly broke down and refused to charge in the month after the warranty expired. I sent it, at my expense, to the repair shop who returned it to me saying the unit was unrepairable and could not be replaced due to the expiry of the warranty.This headset is so good, that I had to admit defeat and simply bought another one. I believe the failure of the first one I had was a fluke. no other headset I have tried compares to these, so if you wish me all the best, I will do the same for you in your purchase!
