      Hi NicholasP,

      Thanks for your review of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds, it's fantastic to hear you're enjoying them!

      We understand your desire to connect to more than two devices simultaneously, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The WF-1000XM5 earbuds are designed with a multipoint connection feature that allows them to be connected to two devices at the same time. This is a great feature for switching seamlessly between a phone and a computer, for example.

      While we recognize that many users would benefit from connecting to more than two devices, this is a limitation of the current Bluetooth technology used in the earbuds. We are always working to improve our products and features, and we will be sure to pass your feedback on to our engineering team for future consideration.

      Thanks for choosing Sony!

      Sincerely,
      Jenn | Sony Social Media Team Sony_US

    The Sony Wf-1000's are great the ambient sound/noise canceling is the best available and huge sound and bass upgrade compared to the Sony xm4's. U can listen to anything anytime anywhere while still being able to interact with the world around you. I highly recommend to anyone who works in a loud environment like myself to people who live with normal noise decimals on a daily basis these things are absolutely amazing.

    I'm pretty disappointed in this purchase. I paid $300 for these earbuds and they constantly have issues. The microphone will randomly stop working or will sound really muffled. The earbud tips fell apart after a couple months. The software to control the earbuds has ads when you open it. The "customizable" touch sensors are not truly customizable. Jabra and SkullCandy do a far better job with their software. The ANC is really good and the overall sound is great but not worth the price. Bottom line: Save you money and get something cheaper.

    Microphone had issues. downloaded the app nothing. I recently had to reset the earbuds and remove all bluetooth devices from my phone and reconnect the earbuds for the mic to work. sound quality is good. the foam tips are nice. with the bugs these have i dont think it’s worth the price point at all. Much cheaper earbuds work better out the box than these.
