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?
If you got no problems with IEMs, they produce incredible sound for a fraction of the price. Just check Truthear Zero.
If you’ve got issues with IEMs such as ear infections due to ear wax pushed inward, then you more or less don’t have a choice but to go with on-ear / over-ear. I had an infection once a decade ago and went over-ear ever since. It costs more to get good quality sound out of over-ear compared to IEMs.
