compare to linkbuds to make sure which is best 4u
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound very good and good noise cancel -- not as good as some review say. They seem to be a bit better, but not much than my linkbuds that wore out (and were way less $$). Seems these are a bit better on noise cancel, and without comparing the links side by side I have to say they sound nearly the same. I'm not blown away by the 'upgrade' I did. Not disappointed either. Indfiferent lol.

Don’t purchase IPHONE users
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality if you just want to listen to music. Terrible when it comes to phone calls, on your end you can hear them fine. On their end you get either an echo or a lot of interference. I’ve tried multiple people, different locations. Thought it was maybe service on my end or my phone. Also on an iPhone you can’t edit the “change tap function”.. just buy the AirPods Pro.

Very nice
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I personally dont find these a steep up from the xm4. However, not a downgrade either. My xm4 was starting to not hold a full charge, and i needed a new pair. The Sony music app held my settings, so setup was easy. Om not a fan of 360 audio or any of that so eq is all i need to get set up personally .the pass through voice festure is a grest piece of tech and does a grest job telling voices from noise in most environments.
