    Literally was hoping these earbuds would be the ones to replace my galaxy buds+. However even though the audio is top notch the biggest issue with the line up remains. Inconsistent battery life where one of the buds has a disproportionately high battery life remaining vs the other. The worst part is its random which one. Honestly sony needs to overhall its software

      Hi Terps90,
      Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the WF1000XM5 earbuds. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the audio quality.
      We understand your concerns regarding the battery life imbalance between the earbuds. We recommend, if is possible, that you disable the noise-canceling or equalizer settings that you might not need while using the earbuds to reduce battery consumption.

    These earbuds have been excellent. Great for work and using it in the car when needed. Even managed to suppress the sound of my dogs barking during Zoom calls. Highly recommend.
