Headphones

Hmm most people I know who get XM line, it's because their noise cancelling works super great on the train. I haven't heard that many people hype the sound quality.

I did have one person who I have my old XM3s to tell me she thought they sounded better than her airpods, but "better" might have just meant "different", I don't know which model airpods she had (1st gen pros, I think), and everyone's preferences are different, etc.

And anyway apple only supports most of their features on iphones. Even if I had an iphone, I would want to reward moves like that.

I think the salient point to remember is that both the XM line and the apple ones have batteries that will die in just a few short years.
