    I upgraded from Jabara to these top of the line Sony earbuds. They are durable as I've washed them and they still work. Though, the charging case was not quite so much so. Now I have two pair and one charging case. Still worth every penny.

    The transparency mode or ambient sound mode is greatly improved. The sound quality is slightly diminished. I prefer the sound profile of the wf-1000 xm4’s. However, I do like that these can be used with the LDAC codec while connected to 2 devices at the same time. The xm4’s were only capable of one or the other but not both at the same time.

    Perfect headphones, only a slight improvement if it was possible for me to use the app to find it if it was lost and also Sonia use some memory foam for the earbuds and the inside of the ears to make it more of a custom fit. Even if it was the cost $100 extra, I think people would’ve paid for the custom fit but perfect headphones for the current technology/desgin.
