It's not just the sound. It's build quality.
There are no B&W headphones with melted connector during charging. There are several SONY headphones.
Read User Manual, SONY clearly states:
"When using the unit while you are perspiring If you touch the unit with wet hands, or put the unit in the pocket of a damp article of clothing, the unit may get wet."

If you own SONY WH-1000XM5 (or WH-1000XM4) headphones do not let them charging unattended!

It really comes down to whether your phone supports LDAC or aptX.
