I bought the XM3s to try out a while back when my old laptop lacked a jack and offerings for a good OLED are slim in my country, but these headphones just don't sound very good--especially for the price. My IEM cables are thick and don't tangle. I would take untangling 100% over dealing with batteries. I thought ANC would be better than it was, but the passive noise canceling is just as good in real world use--just eliminating low-frequency sounds isn't too useful when you can hear the crying baby either way.
