Amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previously had the XM4 earbuds and loved them, although they were a bit bulky. I wasn't sure how they could be better, but the XM5 earbuds are vastly impoved for sound, call clarity and noise cancelling. I used these on a work call in my running diesel and another at a McDonald's with talking and loud music in the background and none of the noise was noticable by others on the calls.

$300 for this?
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm pretty disappointed in this purchase. I paid $300 for these earbuds and they constantly have issues. The microphone will randomly stop working or will sound really muffled. The earbud tips fell apart after a couple months. The software to control the earbuds has ads when you open it. The "customizable" touch sensors are not truly customizable. Jabra and SkullCandy do a far better job with their software. The ANC is really good and the overall sound is great but not worth the price. Bottom line: Save you money and get something cheaper.
