    I upgraded to this set from my WH1000XM3 which I had for 4 years. The 3 had great sound and noise canceling ability. I used them frequently and wore them out. I was happy to get this pair in January of 2023. by August the earpiece connection had broken. Its not considered a warranty item even though it is under warranty. Repair would cost nearly as much as a new pair. The redesign of the connectors (much thinner than the 3 and the 4) has built in accelerated obsolescence. If you plan to use these often you would be better with the better designed 4 version. This is a waste of money unless you only use them occasionally.

    Perfect for noise canceling when you need to get lost in your world in a noisy room, airport, or office. But I used them once in the gym and was sweating a lot, they developed visible cracks on the outside.
