Thanks Gene for this review and the warning on the product shortcomings. Very helpful, tried-and-true approach. Before Audioholics I read many online reviews on the PSB M4U2, like you did, and I was just about to buy them for my daily commutes. Now my search will continue. Keep on the good work!

I purchased these and returned them, primarily because their was a distracting noise coming from the sound cancelling. I have been using the momentum 2.0 from Sennheiser and I am completely satisfied.
