Impressions later.

Ok so I've charged them up (they came empty) and is able to give some initial impressions now. With the default tips, I find the sound on the default EQ to be too warm and a tad muddled. Changing to a wider bore tip (I used the tips from beats studio buds) and the sound opened up beautifully. Mids becomes crystal clear and picks up a lot of details without sounding artificial or grainy. Highs sound crisp and do not dominate and doesn't sound sibilant. The mid bass is probably a tad too much which makes the sound a tad muddy, I turned down the mid bass using the EQ in the app.

Haven't had a chance to use the mic yet. Pass through sound pretty audible and quite natural. Haven't had a chance to try the ANC yet, passive isolation is pretty good. Haven't had chance to try the wind noise reduction either.

Controls for double tap and triple tap can be customised for both the left and right earbuds in the app, which includes track fwd/back and volume control. Play/pause (single tap on either buds) and hold (left to cycle through the ANC passthrough modes, right to activate voice assistant) cannot be changed. Tapping doesn't produce beeps, so it might be hard to tell how many taps I made.

The buds themselves are on the large size. I find them to be comfortable in my ears. They do protrude, so probably not very good for side sleepers. The case I would say is about medium size, not the smallest, but it's longish, so it's easy to slip in and out of pockets.

It supports AAC and SBC codecs, no aptx or any fancy hi-res codecs. But the sound quality easily beats tws buds which plaster superior codecs and hi-res logos on their boxes. The Noble H-ANC shows why excellent tuning is way more important than just codecs.

If protrude also not very ideal for bikers I guess

And better not to have ANC, else will be dangerous cannot hear warning honks

And best to wear 1 side only

I think its more of the physical pain & pressure of the earbuds pressing against the ears if the user is wearing full-face helmet

when riding… can off ANC cuz not all ANC earbuds can reduce or remove wind noise.

I ordered from Shopee 1more Shopee Mall w/ 12 months warranty. It was $99 when I bought so I just grabbed those. Now back to $119.

Oh ya disclaimer. It is really quite hard to get it out from the case, if you mind that.

Thanks! I went ahead with the Qilmily seller since he's been on laz for 5+yrs. Hopefully all well

Been eyeing the Linkbuds S too. Alot of folks here seem to go gaga over XM4 but over at Headfi the general consensus is that the Linkbuds S trumps the XM4 in terms of SQ. Currently the Linkbuds S is selling for USD$148 + USD$7 shipping over at Amazon. This is the cheapst i can find after conversion, compared to other platforms like shopee and lazada.

Some pple find the xm4 to be too dark. Linkbuds S sounds brighter which appeals to more pple.
