Thanks for the feedback on the MW08 (thought about picking those up as well). I just picked up the XM4 and am trying to get a good fit. The L tips seem to work the best, so long as a smash them down first. Compared to the XM3, the build of the XM4s are definitely better and feel well built and solid. The case is OK and it's put together well, but some matte metal would have been a nice touch at this price point.I prefer them over the MW08. I thought the MW08 were muddy and I could never get a good fit. The ANC and sound is much better on the M4s in my opinion. That said, the build quality is better on the M&D earbuds.
Overall, I think the sound is better than the XM3, however, because I no longer have those, it's based on memory and general impressions. It sounds as if the bass on the XM4 extends deeper and the sound is cleaner, at least gauging on what my "feelings" tell me.
The ANC is great. I need to test out more against the Bose to see where they rank, but right now, it seems like the XM4 or Bose are the best in the game.
