"These Sony's have been going strong for about a year and a half now ... I have xm4's and have had no issues"
"The xm3 earbuds can be opened easily since it's not glued and uses clips instead, and uses a standard size coin li-ion battery. I seriously think it'll last 10+ years."
"My XM3s still have good performance after 4ish years now."

"Xm3 are the most uncomfortable earbuds i have ever used. ... Within just 30 minutes I would give up because they used to hurt as if I was having a surgery without anesthesia. ... those had to go. I sold."

"they do not stay in my ear. ... I've tried all sizes of the buds that they came with and prefer the smallest size. ... They are normally good until I move my jaw. ... And for someone who needed to take regular calls for work, my jaw moved a lot and I was constantly pushing them back in. ... Even clenching my jaw (I had a bad teeth grinding habit) is enough to break the seal. ... Someone please put me out of my misery? ... I need something to stay in whilst on phone calls, eating, exercising, without resorting to headphones."
"They also don't fall out of my ears when working out like the XM3 do."
