PSB M4U2 review

Full-bodied, powerful and exciting, these headphones are superb travel companion

Exciting, engaging sound Big, powerful sound Flexible listening modes Punchy bass Clean, clear midrange Folding design

Slightly bulky for travel

With more than two years since their launch, many products would be starting to show signs of age, but with the PSB M4U2s, that’s simply not the case. They’re as exciting and engaging as ever, and can’t fail to score the full five again.

PSB M4U2 review

The PSB M4U2s have bumped the Bose QuietComfort 15s out of our Top Ten list of best headphones in style. Let's get the negatives out of the way: they aren't as light or comfortable as the Boses. But they're comfy enough, perfect for shutting out the...

PSB M4U 2 review

PSB Speakers' new $399.99 M4U 2 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones may be the company's very first pair of headphones, but the engineers' smart design choices and superior sound put the M4U 2s at the head of the pack. They're fairly compact for a...

The PSB Speakers M4U 2 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones have really comfy earpads, keep working even after the batteries have drained, and sound great.

The M4U 2s are a bit more expensive than most top-of-the-line noise-canceling headphones.

The PSB Speakers M4U 2 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones combine above-average noise cancellation with excellent sound quality that's well worth the price for dedicated audiophiles looking to eliminate ambient noise.

PSB M4U 2 Review

The PSB M4U 2 headphones have a much longer battery life than many of the best noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones, but they're so heavy we don't recommend wearing them for a long flight or commute. You also have to remember to carry AAA batteries,...

With the PSB M4U 2 headphones, you get up to 55 hours of play time if active noise cancelling is turned off.

These 12.8-ounce headphones were the heaviest of the 11 speakers we reviewed. They were also among the least comfortable.

If you’re alright with heavy, non-Bluetooth-enabled headphones, these are great for achieving loud volumes with decent sound quality and noise-cancelling abilities.
