    RANDOM CONNECTION

    I had the XM4’s and my headphones would randomly connect to my phone at times which was annoying. I got these because I loved the noise canceling on the 4’s and was looking forward to the upgrades and smaller design. These headphones sound great but I give 2 stars because they won’t stop connecting to my phone when I’m not using them. They’re in my backpack in another room and they connect to my phone. They’ll be in my pocket (in the case of course) and they’ll connect to my phone. It is so annoying that I really just want to get a different pair of headphones. I’m at the point where I don’t care how good they are, they won’t stop pairing when they’re in the case. The XM4’s have done it a handful of times but these. ALL THE TIME!!!! I am so frustrated with these.

      Hi Cruz,

      We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are having connectivity issues. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Check that both earbuds are placed correctly on the charging case. Each headset unit will be set to the correct position in the charging case by the built-in magnet. Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve those issues. Please refer to the steps on these links:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

    Sound seems good. But connectivity and noise cancellation isn't great for that price point and support app is not great.

    Previously had the XM4 earbuds and loved them, although they were a bit bulky. I wasn't sure how they could be better, but the XM5 earbuds are vastly impoved for sound, call clarity and noise cancelling. I used these on a work call in my running diesel and another at a McDonald's with talking and loud music in the background and none of the noise was noticable by others on the calls.

    $300 for this?

    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.
