I have em all, XM3, XM4, XM5. The only disappointment was the earbuds, the battery gave up too soon.
Those ear buds suck badly. VERY expensive, very low battery life (typict 3 hours tops), very big, heavy and unwieldy and they always fly though the room when I try to pry them out of the charger case. Noise cancelling is laughable, they continually respond to taps even if it's my hair touching them, sound level is too low, and the batteries are dying after about a year of use.
They. Are. Crap.
Compared to my LG HBS 800 sets, that cost 50 bucks each, I'll chose those LG's any day
If you have the 2022 or earlier versions of the earbuds and not their newest ones, you can at least pretty easily replace the batteries in them as they wear out and get old.
Pretty much the only higher end buds that you can do it with.
I was very disappointed with the ear buds. The fit made them very prone to falling out even when just walking.
