Hello, everyone. I’ve been thinking about getting the WF-1000XM5, but I’m not sure if it’s a good investment. I’ve heard that the WF-1000XM4 had a major battery drainage problem. Is this still the case with the WF-1000XM5?

Right now, I am using the WH-CH710N. They’ve been great, but recently they started to break. They still work, but the ANC doesn’t isolate the same way on the right ear as in the left ear, and they aren’t really compact. So I’m looking for an upgrade. I know that over-ear headphones are superior when talking ANC, but they aren’t as compact as in-ear. I’ve also heard that the AirPods Pro are a good option. But as an Android user, I usually tend to avoid Apple products.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

    I tried the XM5s and 4s and didn’t care for either of them. They wouldn’t stay in while I was moving around, relaxing, eating etc.

    So I started looking at alternatives for both in and over ear pods. Settled on the OWS Pro for pods that don’t go in the ear but sit outside it and Logitech zone true wireless for in ear. The zones I got for about 200 on sale and like a lot, but the real winner has been the OWS pros which come with a 16 hour battery life which lets me wear them through the night. I liked them so much I bought a second pair for when the first are charging haha.
