Like what? I didn't know they were this good, the definition even with crappy aac is super good and you can hear every single instrument clearly, I knew people said they were good but I'm surprised apple cared so much about sound quality

Not sure what XM you have tried, but out of the dozen or so buds I have tried, XM5 are the best sounding, I would argue it might be as a whole package as my usage is mostly walking and gym, and in fairness there are not many buds I have hated, but if you put all the ones I have tried in front of me, APP2, AZ80, QC2, XM4 and XM5 being top 5, I would take the XM5 on my two most important features, sound and ANC. Devialet Gemini 2 might push the XM4 out of that list as probably the most "ok". But overhyped definitely not when the XM5 exist.
