Hello Bruce, we are really sorry that the WH-1000XM5 Bluetooth connection has been really poor with the Amazon Fire tablet, we'd like to provide you some recommendations you can follow to make it work properly:
If the headset automatically connects to the last connected Bluetooth device, you may fail to connect the headset to other devices via Bluetooth connection. If this is the case, operate the last connected Bluetooth device and disconnect the Bluetooth connection.
If the pairing information for the headset has been deleted on the Bluetooth device, pair the headset with the device again. If the issue is still unresolved please consider contacting us to gather more details about the issue. Contact us at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv. Thank you for considering Sony products! -Ismael

Hi Carter, Thanks for your feedback and insights. Sony values the opinions of customers and is always striving to provide the best experience possible. We're sorry if the sound quality did not meet your expectations. Allow us to help and turn your experience around.

For sound quality related issues or concerns, please try these following steps:
Turn down the volume of the connected device if it is too loud.
When playing music, if the headset and the transmitting Bluetooth device are connected via an HFP or HSP Bluetooth connection, switch the Bluetooth connection to A2DP with the connected device.
Some devices that emit ultrasonic sound waves designed to repel rodents may occasionally be installed at the entrances of commercial facilities or subway stations. Near such devices, the ultrasonic sound waves may cause noise or unusual sound to be heard from the headset. Leave the place where the noise or unusual sound is heard. Or turn off the noise canceling function/Ambient Sound Mode from the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.
