I mean, for ANC away from home listening, they aren't bad. I'd have bought an older used model, but I understand wanting the latest version new. Are they the best audio you can get for the money? No, but they're convenient and have some nice features. I think they're a decent buy.

I’ve got the xm4s and they’re just bad. Compared to something modest like some dt770s they sound awful so I just don’t enjoy listening. I appreciate they have anc though but not worth it for the poor sound quality

You're comparing apples to oranges. Two different products for different purposes. And I own both a pair of DT770s and XM3s. I use both for different reasons. They're not even remotely comparable.
