Kopfhörer Empfehlung?

Best wireless earbuds you have for daily use and music?

Sony WF-1000XM4 are the best and most comfortable IMO. I did upgrade them to the XM5 but actually I regret that move and should have stayed with the XM4. On Android they work with LDAC lossless audio. You only get AAC on iPhone but it's still pretty good.
