Poor Multipoint techonology.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have great sound, but the multipoint technology leaves a lot to be desired. It has multiple issues being connected to my laptop and my cell phone, does not easily transition between them and get's stuck on one device when it shouldn't.

Posted .Hello Buzzy,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We are pleased to hear that you find the sound quality of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds exceptional. However, we sincerely apologize for the difficulties you are encountering with the multipoint connectivity feature and the challenges in seamlessly transitioning between your laptop and cell phone.
To address these issues, please follow the steps below:
Update Firmware to Version 6.1.0: Ensure your earbuds are running the latest firmware to improve performance. Detailed instructions are available here:
Reset the Earbuds: Performing a reset can often resolve connectivity issues. Please refer to the following guide for instructions: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783924.html
Initialize the Earbuds: Restoring factory settings can help eliminate persistent problems. Follow the steps outlined here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html
Adjust Bluetooth Settings: On Your Connected Devices: If possible, set the Bluetooth codec to AAC to reduce audio processing load.
On the Earbuds: Use the Sony | Sound Connect app to set the connection priority to "Prioritize Stable Connection."
Check for Interference: Ensure that other wireless devices, such as Wi-Fi routers or other Bluetooth devices, are not causing interference.
If the issues persist after these steps, we encourage you to contact our dedicated support team for further assistance and advanced troubleshooting. You can find all contact options and resources here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
