Hi WestB,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the WF1000XM5. We're glad to hear you found the sound quality satisfying. We're sorry to learn that the overall build and Bluetooth is not working for you. We're here to help. If you haven't already, we recommend that you try the alternative eartip sizes included in the box.

About the Bluetooth issues, here are some troubleshooting steps that may help resolve the problem:
- Ensure that the firmware of your earbuds is up-to-date via the Sony | Sound Connect app. You can find the latest firmware updates here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/software/00296561
- Set the earbuds Bluetooth connection mode to "Priority on stable connection" on the Sound Connect app.
- If possible, connect your earbuds to a different smartphone or Bluetooth device to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem lies with the earbuds or the initial device.
- Initialize the earbuds and try reconnecting them to your device. Find the steps here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

If the problem persists after trying these steps, we recommend that you reach out directly to our technical support team. Their contact information can be found here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
