I've had these since day 1. The price is great. For anyone wondering how these compare to the XM4s, here are some pros & cons:

PRO:
- Smaller earbuds and case
- Claimed to have better battery durability (XM4s battery capacity significantly dropped within a year of heavy use)
- Sound on par with XM5 despite smaller size
- Replaced the spoken status with chimes (end result, quicker to resume playing)
- Senses touch more regularly than the XM4, which was pretty finicky

CON:
- New charging case can't fit large ear gels, resulting in poor connection/failed charging/accidental connection to phone
- This is the biggest annoyance as it requires me to remove the gels to charge them every day.
- Prefer the matte finish of the XM4 (as do many others)
- A little too sensitive to touch - I wear them to bed and on rare occasions, they are triggered by the pillow when by rolling over

Great deal but after the XM4 firmware debacle, I am not very sure about 90days warranty. I will personally wait for it to be on eBay with the 2 years warranty. Or buy the extended warranty if you really cannot wait.

I bought from this vendor on ebay with 2 years warranty in Mar 2022. The batteries drained in 1 hour now. I will send it in for repair.

I bought the xm4 on secondipity deal, they had the common tone issue where the speaker shield would sound like a bell every time it played. Had to return, waste of time

Is a defective battery covered under the extended warranty? Thinking about getting a two year warranty from Consumer Priority Service.

Every pair of Sony XM ANC headphones I've bought for myself or my friends have come from them. I've had good experiences.

As to why these headphones keep showing up in their store, massively discounted, I have no idea...

Phone call quality and noise cancellation during phone call seems to be pretty bad from reviews I've seen. The Linkbuds seems to cancel noise a whole lot better. I'm not sure why these top tier earbuds are performing so badly?
It's not a priority for them. Has been an issue since the beginning of the XM series.

Check out Louis Rossam YouTube video on well know battery issue of XM4. Very bad of Sony and it happened to me on my XM4s

Will be avoiding Sony in the foreseeable future.

Are these worth an upgrade over the WF-1000XM5? I just sent my XM4s in for warranty service because of the batteries. Before I sent them in I purchased some cheap XM4s and new batteries off Aliexpress to keep me going. So I will probably have two perfectly good pairs of XM4s for a while.
One review I read stated the XM5s aren't as good at canceling low frequency noise as the XM4's - I use these on a bike trail that is parallel to train tracks. My main problem with the XM4s is that calls break up after a short duration but I don't know if that is a problem with XM4s or a problem with my iPhone.
I have XM4 in need of battery replacement. But I was heading out on a trip and grabbed a pair of the wf1000XM5 before my trip. I just returned them. No matter how much eq settings I did in the app, I couldn't get them to sound as good as the Xm4. I also done like the way the xm5 fit in my ear

Thanks for reminding me about the 2 year warranty. I bought my XM4 from this vendor on ebay in Dec 2021. The batteries are shot so I'm making a warranty claim

Let us know how your claims goes. I would like to know if batteries are covered under the warranty.

I got my first pair from Secondipity on eBay and got the 2 year warranty. I sent them in last week and today got an email stating "After a close inspection of your item, we've determined that a repair is not possible." New batteries are about $15 and it takes maybe 20 minutes, a heat gun and a little glue to fix them. The $20 defective pair I got off eBay in June (I replaced the batteries) are still working with a long battery life.

I wonder if you could get away with keeping the charging case and just send in the buds. You are supposed to keep accessories but are supposed to send in the charger/AC adapter. Working cases are harder to get than earbuds.

Yes. They always have these sales with the latest versions of the Sony earbuds and headphones. Bought wf xm4, wh xm3, and wh xm5 from them. Each time item came in generic zip lock bag but all looks brand new.
