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?

True wireless in-ears have gotten a LOT better at ANC in the last few generations. Currently, I carry the Pixel Buds Pro as my dailies, but I also have a pair of the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pros. Both are pretty great, I tend to prefer the Pixel Buds because they play nicely with my Pixel. I've been through I-couldn't-tell-you-how-many pairs of true wireless buds, and so far those two are the only ones I haven't hated wearing for extended periods. I'd give an honorable mention to the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro as well (with the caveat that some of their functionality, including factory reset, requires a Samsung device).

NB: I tend not to like the silicone ear tips, so most of the time when I buy a new pair of buds I'll buy Comply memory foam eartips. I've found they create a MUCH better seal and more confident fit. Evidently my ear canals are weirdly shaped, because no matter what brand, I seem to have trouble keeping anything in my ears and those helped.

How are they for phone calls in noisy environments (for the person on the other side of the call)?
