Gyms are closed where I'm at so I've only tested them outdoors and they aound great. The noise cancelling is as good as the XM3s. The only downside is that Bose changed the tips and these don't stay in my ears like previous Bose ear buds.
They fall out during running??

For some people for others they stay in fine. For me, it does not matter what I do, I have to constantly readjust them. I'm hoping Bose or someone comes out with some better tips for them. Until then I just use mine for walks or in the house. For working out I stick to the Galaxy Buds Live.

The Galaxy Buds are IPX2. They aren't really for working out. The bare minimum I want for working out is IPX4 and ideally IPX7. You can get away with working out with them but all it takes is a little moisture the wrong way and you'll kill them.

Thanks for the link but I already know that (hence the reason why I bought the QC Earbuds). If and when a time comes that they get killed, I will just buy another pair:yeshrug:

A good pair of headphones is always worth it and these are great. My only complaint about them is that I wish the mic was better.
I got the WXM3s and they good for wireless noise cancelling but the mic is def awful. sad to hear it aint improve on the M4.

a lil light on the bass too but I noticed that with all wireless joints. when im at home I stick to corded headphones with a dac/amp combo.
