    Still getting use to the power and battery settings. Seems like the sensor doesn't work to turn them off when placed in the case. Also irritating is I can't listen and charge. I have had to use my old buds for important meetings that don't work great due to this. However everything else so far is great.

    My spouse loves it. Hopefully the headphones can stay intact this time. I had purchased the M3 in 2017 and the headband had major issues that Sony did not care to acknowledge. One can only hope they have grown to realize that customers are not intentionally breaking their headbands. This is why I support Bestbuy's electronic warranties.
