I’ve been rocking my Sony WH-1000XM3’s for going on 5 years now and have had absolutely zero issues with battery life (or anything else for that matter). I wear them several hours a day, every work day for Zoom calls, etc. They’ve traveled with me and are great for flights.
I’d buy another pair (of the newer model) in a heartbeat.
That is encouraging but the fact remains that there is a point of failure in the battery which has a known lifetime of charge cycles. I’m wouldn’t tell you not to buy them I’m just a stickler for that kind of thing I guess.
That’s fair. Getting 5+ years of heavy use (thousands of hours) out of a $400 pair of headphones is worth the investment to me. Not worth it to everyone, though.

Same here- best headphones I’ve ever owned!
🙋🏻♂️ Sony WH-1000XM2 owner here, and I’m equally as happy. They’re still going strong after years of heavy daily use.
