Great deal. My older xm4 is still working fine so I can't justify getting an upgrade.

I wonder why is there so many refurbished xm6's lately. Why so many people are returning it if these are "the best"

Same happened when the XM5 first dropped and I thought the same thing. Secondipity was selling refurbs for about $185 in 2022 months after the XM5s dropped. I didnt bite and the refurbished price didnt hit that low again until last year. I haven't been following on Reddit to see if these have the same hinge flaw or something else that would necessitate returns in bulk.

It's not the 'best'. All marketing. It feels unpolished with a lot of gimmicks. For example, it won't detect in-use when you play radio or talk audio without continuous music and turns itself off after 10-15 mins, which is really annoying. Plus it insists on playing some intro on power on by reading your texts, calendar and email and announcing things that is a hassle to track down and turn off after each update. Plus the auto turn off doesn't work well because of the clumsy app and software. So often you end up without battery when you need it or you can't use it without fiddling with the app. The noise cancellation is 3/5 at best. It fails to cancel out even regular noise at max setting. Resets the noise cancelling preference after use and insists on using 'AI' to set automatically and override my preferences.

A decade+ old Bose I still own gets me absolute silence. Overall it's meh in daily usage.
