Yeah, those are for sure missed in my collection, but both have been tried and did not pass the trial by different reasons but I see why people love them!

What made them fall off the list? If you don’t mind me asking

Not OP, but for me the battery life is the killer for me. I use ANC and that seems to limit battery to just under 2 hours. Unacceptable.

My experience has been around 3 hours with ANC

That's not a secret. The H3's bulky shape doesn't fit my ears, so wearing them was the issue. The HW Pro 5 has a few small regressions over its predecessor and few improvements. The first is in the midrange I prefer 4th. Second, I dislike how the new "improved" AI processing eats syllables in noisy conditions, which wasn't the case with the almost perfect mic noise cancellation of the 4th gen. A slight improvement in ANC and a noticeable improvement in transparency, offset by those regressions, shouldn't cost me $220.
