I love these headphones and can only recommend them.

these headphones were so light and comfortable they sit on my head. I could wear them for hours and not suffer the discomfort that other headphones leave, like a clip on your dome. My ears don't get warm after prolonged use. And then comes excellent sound quality. It sounds amazing. The added benefit of ANC and BT is simply the bonuses. To be honest I found the asking price for them a bit absurd but having used them for over 3 months now I can justify every penny. This is a game changer. My only complaint is that when using this for discord, chat, or phone calls, the audio seems to switch to a different codec or driver. There is no sound quality in this mode. These are EARPHONES, not to be confused with a HEADSET. If you're buying a few cans to play online video games or hold ZOOM meetings, buy a special headset. These are primarily headphones. Consider the XM4's headset option as a last resort. Although the XM4s are made of plastic, the build quality is amazing and I expect them to last. Don't be fooled by other competitors' "premium" stuff into thinking you're getting a "better" product. They are heavy, even more expensive and uncomfortable. To be honest, I feel like plastic gets a bad rap, and yet it proves to be more durable than most materials that marketing departments label "premium" to get more bucks out of your wallet.

Pros
  • EDGE-AI: Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence) developed in cooperation with Sony Music Studios Tokyo, DSEE Extreme (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) improves the quality of compressed digital music files in real time. By dynamically recognizing instruments, musical genres and individual elements of each song, such as B. vocals or interludes, it restores the high-frequency sound lost through compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.
Cons
  • Big and chunky
