Compared to the X4, the Tarah has a six hour battery life instead of eight hours, is designed to be used under the ear while the X4 also supports mounting over the ear, and includes silicone ear gels (the X4 also has Comply foam tips). Like the new X4, the Tarah sports the Speed Cinch cord, which is a vast improvement over the previous clip system to secure the cord behind your head.
