I like them a lot. Sound is very nice especially coming from the XM4s and coupled with pretty good ANC they make for great cans when you're out and about. I'm still using wired more often than not when gaming, so wireless is mostly for online (work) meetings or activities where I move around the apartment more often. My main gripe would be software, i.e., you need the app to adjust ANC and the app takes ages to load into the settings which can be quite the annoyance. Other than that I haven't had (m)any issues with them aside from slightly unreliable touch controls for switching songs mostly.

The main problem might be BT connection with your PC/laptop. Whilst I have absolutely no issues with them on my MacBook (which comes with lack of codec support other than AAC of course), but Windows has been annoying enough to make me go for the FiiO BTA30 Pro.

Since the M4s don't support LDAC in the first place. However, I've used it with the Qudelix and the connection + quality has been great for me. Range has been much better than with my phone and worked in every corner of my apartment which isn't particularly big, but considering LDAC at 909 kbps it seems good to me.

Lmao, I'll update my main comment with the info, but to not let you wait, they're pretty basic AOC C24G1 1080p 144 Hz monitors. Unfortunately, all 3 of them have different color representation - I guess that's (one of) the main disadvantage(s) of VA panels. Doesn't really bother me as I don't do picture/video editing or gaming using multiple monitors; just a programmer that needs dedicated Google/StackOverflow screens.

I've been trying to complete a setup for both wired and wireless listening for both staying at my desk + moving around the apartment as well as when I'm out and about. My last addition has been the FiiO BTA30 Pro as Bluetooth on Windows has been an absolute trainwreck of an experience for me and no cheaper alternative existed. The only problem I'm still facing now is with the audio sometimes cutting out on silent passages - hoping it'll be solved by using an optical cable instead of USB, but it might genuinely be an unfixable thing I'll have to live with tied to how the Bluetooth codecs send audio... only works with LDAC which the Momentum 4s sadly don't support.
