    I purchased these for work, I make phone calls constantly throughout the day. I compared them with Bose 700s that my co-worker tried swearing up & down was better. Of the 2, yes the Bose are better at music wuality honestly, but for phone calls… Sony all day! Perfect sound quality in and going out, and i even made a call once while vacuuming and the person on the phone with me could not hear my very loud vacuum at all!

    I'm about 2 weekish in wearing these as my daily set. I've have the new gen airpods pro's and a fresh new pair of wf1000xm4 from sony as a replacement. After having all tried them all, these hand downs are my favorite and hard to put down once there on. Earbuds are cool when needed especially workingout but man these are just great for working from home and just lounging. Get them if you CAN!

    Great sound quality, have been working great for me. Bluetooth connectivity is also really good, but the fit is slightly lose on my small head, so probably not a good choice for people with small heads cause it slips off especially during workouts

    Big Head - Sony vs Max

    Airpods max vs sony XM5 I brought both and I returned the airpods after I used these. Most of my devices are apple and this works super smooth between them, its easy to connect and everything. The transparent mode is unmatched for the maxs, but I think everything else is better on the 5s. I have a bigger head and to me these fit much better than the maxs, I would suggest this for bigger head people the maxs had a lot of force and did not feel good for long periods.
