@WhammyBarsI did. It broke my heart but I returned them. The mic was unusable. Tried to make it work by using an old Jabra Bluetooth mic for calls, but switching one headset out for another felt unacceptable. I believe it’s because all 4 mics are facing to the rear, into your earlobes. So it picks up every sound terribly. But dang do they sound good for music. If I didn’t have a job I would keep them... but then again I wouldn’t be buying $200 earphones either.

I have been really enjoying my T5’s so far! I feel like they are a firmware update away from excellence. Earbuds are always uncomfortable for me, and these are the first that are comfortable even after several hours. Sound is excellent. I Currently have issues with call quality, as the 4 mics are facing to the rear, not toward the mouth. So I sound like I am on a speakerphone, and background noise does not get filtered out. Sounds such as shuffling paper, etc are just as loud as my voice to people on the call. Compared to Powerbeats Pro and AirPods, those have forward facing mics, my voice is much clearer and louder than the T5. I suspect this could be somewhat fixed in firmware however. It’s strange that while they have 4 mics, they are in close pairs and facing away from the mouth.
