don't buy this! I bought 2, moving from one generation to another, and after a few months, still having charging problems, compatibility. The sound is very good, but tell yourself that the headphones will not last long. Do yourself a favor and don’t buy this!

bro, the gen 5 has only been out for a few weeks...

also I've had the gen 4 for YEARS, and the battery is still strong, and I've treated them poorly since 2019. my colleagues use them too. maybe you had some bad luck here?

I'm talking about the previous generations 3 and 4. I hope this generation 5 is a game changer. I took the previous generation, I liked the charging station but ultimately I realized that having a small USB cable to charge, isn't any worse and it's more reliable. But you're probably right, I had no luck. In any case, I have the Nari Ultimate, and I'm very happy with it, it connect very quickly and the sound is really great.

fair, nari ult is good. the battery went flat on my a50 gen 2 eventually and never recovered, but the new ones are much much better. my gen 4 is still going strong though. im still using it over the gen 5, just for the SPDIF optical port. if I didnt need SPDIF for streaming, id def go fully into gen 5.
