I kinda empathise with you because I've had the same shit to deal with from topping. My xm3's are also going bonkers out of nowhere due to the software updates. I almost bought the xm4 but luckily i decided to google about xm4 problems. Even the cheaper WF-C500 has hissing noise issues from the get go. Im staying away from sony for now.

Honestly I think it was a bit of a blessing, I'll sell the Sony's when they show up. I replaced them with some (unbelievably cheap) Liberty 3 pro's; which are really not bad sonically and have a better fit/control scheme (though I do miss the hold to listen function of the Sony's at times). Really impressed with these little things for what I paid.

I'm going back to wired IEM's for my serious listening. I only tried the TWS market out because my workhorse Shure's died and I figured why not-well I now know the answer to why not.

I forgot how great proper wired IEM's can sound; I think my shure's were dying for awhile and I had become really accustomed to their signature which is really dark (the IEM hobby was very different 15+ years ago).

Currently demo'ing the 7hz timeless with some s12's on the way, the value that exists in the wired IEM world with the explosion of ChiFi is unreal.

I'm a happy fella and these headphones with batteries can fuck off :)
