    Crisp, Clean Audio

    Takes a bit of time getting used to the ear tips, but the sound isolation is phenomenal. This is before you even kick on the ANC. LDAC tends to cut out audio from time to time, but i prefer crisp clear audio over connection if I have to choose. Happens far less often when theres fewer wireless devices nearby.

    I really liked these but returned them because of the shape. They’re really small which is great, but their shape makes it so uiu have to pay attention to which bud goes where. Other ear buds are easier to differentiate.

    I loved the xm4 and was looking forward to upgrading to the xm5's. Unfortunately, I am on my third pair of earbuds due to the charging case malfunctioning and stops charging. It's been covered under the one-year warranty, but I was hoping it would have been fixed by the second pair. Overall, I love the earbuds. I think the Sony sound quality is unmatched. That's why I'm still here dealing with this on the third pair. It's annoying but not enough for me to want to switch to a lower quality sound system and sound experience. Also hoping third time is the charm.
