I love the XM4 headphones. They’re so good that when I was too focused on my phone I ended up missing my train. Sucks that it happened, happy with the noise cancellation quality.
Very timely, just when I’m looking for new headphones with noice cancelation. Noice noice cancelation.

I would buy the XM5, but I would prefer if I could use it with a 2.4Ghz dongle because the Bluetooth delay is huge. But I can’t do that or connect to the computer. I’d prefer to get a universal solution to my needs for $400, not “you can listen to music in these, but buy another pair for gaming”
Hmmm which headphones do you use that you get huge delay? Which codec do they use? I mean maybe my experience is not the greatest, I don’t do online shooters…but I don’t usually have trouble with delay, the audio is always synced to the action.
Every single one, there’s not a single Bluetooth headphone that is actually synced
The interesting thing for me from the tests was showing that anything above 1kHz is just passive noise cancellation. I have acoustics notes from university that are over a decade old that have 1kHz listed as the limit of active noise cancellation and it apparently hasn’t been improved in all that time.
