Worth the upgrade. / Caution
I bought these for the noise canceling. I use them 99% of the time with no music, or sound playing. I don't like the larger size coming out of the ear. Because, I lay on my side with them, and for that the XM5's are nicer. But, these are louder while staying clear, the noise canceling is nicer, and the heart-beat sound is extremely less. The heart-beat sound is when the noise-canceling is on and you can hear your heart beat. That problem is almost gone now, with the new design. But, different eartips are needed to remove it almost completely. I recommend changing the original earbud tips to get nicer noise canceling, and to hear less if any, heart-beat sound. I use Charjen, Luckvan Memory Foam Eartips, or similar.I use these until the battery gets low, and then switch to the XM5's until the XM6's are finished charging. The "heart-beat" sound is extremely loud on the XM5's and basically gone with the correct eartips on these.Update:I recommend getting a used pair. A used pair is currently $248, on Amazon. You will need to buy extra earbud tips regardless of which one you choose, and there's probably nothing wrong with them.I bought the XM5'S certified refurbished elsewhere, 2 years ago. The first pair had a random glitch that was not fixable with firmware. The second pair works perfectly.Update #2:There was a battery drain problem. The batteries would drain extremely unevenly. For example, the right earbud would always drain faster than the left. A small amount is normal. But, the battery for the right earbud would be at approximately 20% and the left earbud would be at approximately 43%. That is, "in the range of", normal, if you using a voice assistant, and the speak-to-activate feature, on the previous models. But, I had that feature off. Also, the talk-to-disable noise-canceling feature was off. I ordered another pair, and the batteries drains evenly, with about a 2 percentage point difference.Update #3:This pair did not have any problems, for one week. Then, the left earbud died. It would not charge. I reset the earbuds several times. An orange light on the case flashed. Which, means an error has occurred while charging, preventing the process from completing.Update #4:This pair was a return, and i ordered a new pair. The paper label that wraps around the box, if pealed open, in an average way, can be resealed with the glue sticking like new.Final Update:Also, i tried the Luckvan Memory Foam Eartips for Sony WF-1000XM5. They are super soft and comfortable, and have an earwax shield. But, with all foam tips, the foam doesn't hold the original density long. I change them at about two weeks, for any foam tips. The Charjen tips last much longer. But, eventually the density of the foam doesn't bounce back. The Charjens have rubber on the outside of the foam. They last longer, because the foam doesn't soak up oils. The Charjens have a lifetime warranty, and it only costs about $5.99 for shipping. But, save the box. It has some numbers on it.I wear these all day every day, and often at night. They save my sanity from cricket and bird noise.If you don't wear them as often you may not need change the eartips as often. Plus, if noise cancelation, the "heart beat sound", or just gross dirty eartips are not important, then you won't have to change them as often. Also, if you don't use foam eartips, then a pair will last forever.Important:Sometimes you may need to ensure that the earbuds are connected to the charging pins in the case. For example, if you go to use your earbuds and they warn you with a low battery message, even though you stored them in a charged case.Taking them in and out quickly can glitch the charging.So, make sure the light on the case blinks fully. Like, a slow eye blink.Ver másVer menos
