Price
Charging for 360 sound on $300 buds and expensive phones is disappointing.
Shipping
It took several weeks to get here, but it was worth it.
Competitiveness
So these sound way better than the apple version which is what i care about most.
Definitely better than airpods its quality matters to you and not just the name
It makes no sense that for $248 i have to deal with a product inferior to its predecessors!
In between purchasing this, i tried to order a pair of google buds but they could not compare.

I would have kept them but the outer portion hurt my ears just one ear actually so im thinking i have a weird shaped left ear

Mic was the only downside but it does great in reasonably quiet environments but im a truck driver and the sound of the truck was too much

In a previous life i designed studiograde headphones specifically the driver interfaces to achieve a specific frequency response output… i am alot older now and the frequency range of my hearing has certainly declined over the years some of which is likely from loud music hearing damage at the upper end of the spectrum

I own both the xm4 and xm3 earbuds… and this is likely the cause of my disappointment
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The xm4’s seem to only “loose steam”… at high volumes where the bass frequencies become compressed as volume increases
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The xm3 does not compress the bass frequencies until the absolute limit…the xm5 at starts compressing nowhere near what i call loud almost as if the ports are blocked or closed or something is creating standing waves…i needed these for my daily conference calls that last several hours multiple times a day as the xm3’s for several hour use are simply too much weight only being supported by the ear canal
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The xm4’s are a bit lighter and the xm5’s feel almost weightless in comparison
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So much so that to listen to music i use my xm3’s and find it completely ridiculous that sony has made their top earbud product a poor replacement of a predecessor from 8years ago
