I would but I just have such little interest. I only use them out and about and I need the quality of life features (transparency mode, noise canceling). If I’m at home I’m in front of my stereo. Just simply stating how impressive second gen AirPod Pros are compared to high end IEMs from 10 years ago or even recent IEMs I’ve heard like the Fiio FD7. Not really my realm anymore.

There were leaks for a looooooooooong time before the XM4s came out. I haven’t seen any such leaks for a successor yet so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

None of these dedicated high end audio companies can make “whole package” headphones. The sound is good but the features never seem like a priority and are just there to tick boxes. Garbage ANC, terrible transparency modes, high noise floor, flakey bluetooth and app controls.
