I had a pair of XM4’s that I bought second hand. They were great for all of the reasons you cite - until Sony rolled out the firmware update that trashed the batteries of countless numbers of these. I saw online that people were having luck getting replacements, but since mine were second hand Sony wouldn’t do anything.

I’ve moved on to B&O now. I did like the Sony’s, but I’m not rewarding a company with more money just because they bricked my devices.
