My pair of sony wf-1000xm4’s have the dreaded software issue that is affecting the charge and battery drain on one headphone. They are out of warranty, I will not try to repair myself & the local importers are about as useful as a box of hammers…I am going to try and see if I can get them replaced as out of warranty on the issue at a Sony centre in Europe when there in June.

However I’ve been looking at potentially another pair, I love the sound of Sony’s, the feel I’ve been thinking g of getting another set of Xm4’s (I just need to ensure they do not update software) OR get a set of the Xm5’s (however am slightly hesitant to buy another set of Sony because of this software issue that has caused hardware to fail)…

Can you recommend me a set of in hear headphones as good (or better) than the Sony Xm4’s?

They will be used daily primarily while training (treadmill walking/running) and doing some physically movements & then used secondarily for connection to phone/ipad for watching occasional content & thirdly for calls connected to phone or laptop.

Budget ceiling is the current price of the Sony Xm5’s (R5999) hopefully less, I own a pair of sennheiser over hear and have owned numerous pairs of edifiers that all didn’t last & had terrible Bluetooth connection so will avoid)

Thx
