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?

    Thanks, I’ll look into them.

    Lately I’ve been carrying around my Logitech Zone 750 headset because it’s the only thing I’ve found so far that actually lets other people hear me clearly. I wish there were more Bluetooth headsets available with a real mic (i.e. one that actually extends out to your mouth).

      The Shokz Openrun Pro doesn’t have a visible microphone, your jawbone is the microphone. However they have other models with a regular microphone that wraps around to your mouth. Those microphones pick up more ambient noises though. That’s why I prefer bone conduction.
