bought after years and several models with Jabra headsets, so I think I know what's possible and this just didn't work out for the designers. Good for sitting at the computer, but I'd be afraid to cook in them at home
clear sound
pairing two devices
smooth design
capacity and endurance
ergonomics, in the ears they stick only on the inside and fall out (not a bad size)
ergonomics of the case - the case cannot be fully opened and the headset removed once you have bigger fingers, something wrong with your hand, or just have your phone in the other
ANC and passive is more of a hint

Non-existent ANC (worse than my pre-LinkBuds) - I can hear surrounding passengers clearly on the train even with the feature on
Discharges quite quickly (hard to tell if it was a defective piece, but again significantly worse than previous LinkBuds a few years old)

Sound
Processing
On the other hand, Ambient Sound works great
Ambient noise cancellation doesn't work very well, fortunately I don't really need it
The app could be improved a bit

TL; DR - if they're full price, and not like 4000, I'd go for the AirPods Pro regardless of the phone's OS. If they're on sale for the amount mentioned, it's not a bad buy. I had 1st generation AirPods Pro, and after they expired, I was looking for a replacement. It was either these headphones from Sony or AirPods Pro 3. In general, the Sony's have beautiful sound, surprisingly good quality considering their size. Nice bass, clear voice. There are more than enough settings in the app, connecting to both iPhone and MacBook was easy. The headphones can be connected to 2 devices "simultaneously", balancing the "audio handover" of the complete Apple ecosystem. What are the minuses, however, is the quality of the active noise cancellation. It seems to me that it is not on the level of the AirPods Pro that I had. When it's on, I can hear this soft "hum" coming from them. It takes some getting used to, but again, it's something that wasn't there with the competition. The permeability for me is also worse than the Apple product. Either you set the app to high, but you can still hear the sound from the microphone going into your ears despite the increased priority on voice. Or you can lower the throughput, you don't hear the microphones as much, but you can't really hear what's going on around you. I find it's better to take one handset off during a conversation than to try the pass-through mode. What else I would mention is the fit in the ears. Basically, it only sticks to the part you put in your ear. there is no other support. You have one point of contact and in my case the headphones sometimes "slip". I can't use the bigger earbuds because they don't fit in my ears.

One handset went out a few months after the end of the two-year warranty. (No overuse, they did not serve as "main" headphones)

As an owner of previous models (xm3 and especially xm4) I can say that compared to the previous model the headphones are rather a step backwards. Sony's effort to make the headphones smaller is rather a detriment, as the headphones do not fit as well in the ears as the last generation, which had beautifully shaped earbuds that fit exactly in the ears. It is of course largely a matter of habit and individual ear proportion. As far as the sound is concerned I notice slightly more specific mids and highs, bass is maybe a bit suppressed in the base, but you can add it in eq and it is really strong. BUT for me the difference to the wf1000xm4 is almost minimal. If my xm4 hadn't broken, I would probably return these headphones and keep the older model. As for the replacement plugs, unfortunately none of them fit me. I use the classic silicone earbuds from Sony and even with them I rate the noise cancellation very positively, but also almost identical to the previous model. A person who has not tried the previous model will not be disappointed by the minimal improvement, but will be delighted by the excellent sound and ANC that these earbuds have. I can definitely recommend it! 4 stars only because of worse ergonomics for me and minimal improvement over the last model.
great sound quality
excellent noise cancellation
battery life of the plugs
worse ergonomics
minimal upgrade over the previous model

Quality headphones with great sound, for the price of 4700 Kc in black friday it's a good buy. However, I would like to point out that for ANC lovers this is not the right purchase, it is a complete disappointment. Immediately after testing we find out that there is no difference between ANC on and off. It is also objectively measured in some reviews, which I unfortunately did not read before buying (e.g. rtings.com). For fans of this board and ANC technology I have sad news, this product is not worth buying, buy airpods.
Quality sound
Practical box
Good passive damping of ambient sounds
ANC is simply garbage, I am returning the product. It is objectively and measurably worse than other alternatives in the same price category and there is almost no difference between passive and active ambient sound suppression
