Thanks! I got these for $279.99 and they're still return eligible, so I'm getting this deal instead.

These earbuds are great. The ear tips aren't very comfortable, so I got some 3rd party ones and they work better for me. I guess my ear canals are smaller than average and it is a challenge to get the earbuds to stay in place.

Other than that the noise cancelation is great. I can sit in a noisy room with adults chatting and kids playing and I don't hear them at all while listening to music.

These are also great for phone calls. I used to have a wind noise problem with cheap earbuds, but these ones do a great job capturing my voice and canceling wind.

They're not cheap, but have lots of cool features and, as mentioned above, work really well for me.

Be careful with the eartips. These buds don't have mesh on them to protect the drivers like most others do - the mesh is on the eartips. I'd strongly recommend you get tips that have this mesh built in.

Do not get these, they have the same battery issue like xm4 and/or will get a battery ruining update after warranty expires.
Sony is playing with fire with not recalling or even replacing them out of warranty.

Check reddit and YouTube for battery issues and how customer support is non existent and gaslights you for suggesting a problem.
Until companies start making earbuds like these with easily replaceable batteries, consumers should look at these things as disposable items. The majority of the XM4s had faulty batteries. I managed to open and change my batteries out my XM4s, but it kind of messed up my housing a little bit. Even my new batteries are always off from charge level on each other, I replaced both batteries, but because Sony sourced battery models from 2 different battery types, the app which monitors charge level doesn't know how to stop/start the charging from what I have understood. The XM5s apparently suffer from similar issues. This is really terrible considering just how expensive both earbuds are.

Yes, the 3rd party AirFoams Pro tips I got have mesh. Thanks!

No they aren't. I personally hate Sonys sound. They sound like AI music. I'm not even a bass person but these have absolutely no bass.

Bose quiet comfort II's or ultras both sound miles better with better noise cancellation as well. And the Bose are a lot more comfortable for extended in ear time.

Sonys have better connectivity and sound better with the voice on phone calls. There's no perfect earbuds out there right now but Bose clear the Sonys.

You must not have downloaded Sony's headphones app. That when these headphones really shine. You can really jack up the bass to your heart's content. I was not terribly impressed with the stock EQ sound but after adjusting some settings I love their sound more than any other earbuds I've tried, including the AirPods which are certainly lacking in bass compared to these.

Do you know what they "fixed"? Because tons of people have replaced the battery themselves with good luck - I'm wondering if this means those people will get the problem again?

Just got these via this deal. Sound is fantastic. Definitely the best sounding earbuds I own, Noise cancelling is decent, but not as good as my Sony WH1000XM3 over the ear headphones. Made one phone call with them as seemed fine. Music is really really good with these. Fingers crossed on long term ownership. Very happy with them at this point.

Not really sure...first my left bud had the issue and had to make an all-state claim. Then the right one had the issue a bit later. After the 2 repairs the warranty was deemed "completed" due to the cost of the 2 repairs surpassed the warranty "coverage". So pretty much I cant make a new claim and now I'm stuck with them and the right bud only lasts about an hour. Pretty much done with Sony buds now

Rip to my x3. Went in the washer. I've contemplated replacing batteries on the case and buds. But even my testing by loading current doesn't start them up. Circuit board issue I presume.

It's really a preference thing. I want to love the Bose QC line but the sound quality is garbage in my opinion. Coming from a neutral/bright sound stage like a pair of wired m50s the QC sounds muddied and trying to hard on bass. Tho that prob helps get Beats customers 🤣

This is an awesome concept. If it can sound even 80% as good as XM4 or XM5 I would strongly consider Fairphones because this kind of model ought to be supported.

Sony replaced my xm4s out of warranty and did for a lot of people.
