Guess I’ll just stick with my AirPod max. Close enough for me in sound, but built like a tank. I also have them tuned to Harman curve, created an “eargram” on my iPhone lol.

AirPods last quite a bit longer than that, but people who buy the cheap crappy ones realize why they are so cheap eventually.

But then you are using wired iems with no anc.

AAC is far from crappy, welcome to reality. The xm4s simply don’t sound that great, I don’t care what codec or stupid marketing Sony comes out with.
