The battery life is 30 hours and I have been using them for 5-6 hours a day since I got them almost 2 weeks ago, and have only had to charge them a couple of times.

76% found it easy to connect, but 24% faced pairing issues
So far, I have had no connectivity issues with XM4, despite my initial worries.
I have experienced problems with both the initial bluetooth connection and subsequent connections.
I have noticed that the headphones have connection issues and the app rarely recognizes that I am connected to the phone.
I tested the feature where I was away from the computer and it activated as expected. However, I had to keep tapping the headphone to resume playing and it didn't work until I returned to the computer.
90% admired the microphone quality, nevertheless, 10% encountered glitches
I am disappointed with the microphone quality of the headphones, despite having a 5-microphone array, when used for calls or recordings.
I find the microphone quality poor and it does not capture my voice well.
The microphone quality is poor and it sounds like talking in a cardboard box or sometimes underwater.
The microphone quality is terrible.
96% were satisfied with the noise cancellation, but 4% found it insufficient
The noise cancellation feature greatly helps my concentration and productivity, especially when working from home with kids doing virtual schooling.
The noise cancellation in these mid-tier headphones is probably the best.
The noise cancellation is better than the XM5 and less finicky.
The noise cancellation is inconsistent and it amplifies sounds to painful levels. Additionally, an A/C vent near me causes a painful, high pitched noise in my left ear.
89% highlighted the portability
The XM4 headphones are surprisingly great for portability. I can throw them around, run with them, dance with them... to some degree before they get hot, but once again, great for closed-back. I can not even dream of doing this with my other headphones.
95% liked the sound quality
I have never owned another pair of headphones with such good sound quality, from deep bass to clear treble.
The headphones offer outstanding sound quality with a balanced and detailed sound signature including rich bass, clear mids, and crisp highs.
