Aside from the convenience of the airpods within the apple ecosystem, the sonys are better earbuds.

In the next gen they really need to add swipe controls for volume and in the software add better customization for the tap controls. Still rocking my mediocre Pixel Bud Pros because Sony can't get its act together.

I'd recommend the Bose Ultra earbuds over these if you want something premium, and obviously if you have an iPhone the AirPod Pro 2 is the only reasonable choice.

Bought these on secondipity/eBay for $200 refurb after my XM4s died a couple months ago. No regrets, but this is a killer deal. Big fan of these since the XM3s - great ANC, app, sound quality, and battery life.

These Sony earbuds are good for all around but don't excel at any particular feature.

To be fair, Samsung Buds had their issues as well.
My last ones made my ears go red and they refunded in full. It was a wide known issue with the materials

Got these then returned them. They are more comfy than xm4 but no where near the seal or the quality. Also hella annoying you can't get to "off" setting from earbuds. It's only AnC or ambient noise

Also annoying as FFFFF to remove from the case
Is that not available in the app options like on the xm4? Those go ANC, Ambient, Off

sticking to AirPods, a reddit review:

I can't think of one way in which the XM5s are better than the Airpods Pro 2.

ANC: Worse (because the passive isolation is doing most of the work, not the ANC)

Transparency: Much worse

Price: Much more expensive

Sound quality: Both good

Comfort: Worse (for me)

Thuds when running: Much worse

Control system: Much worse (four taps to change volume!)

and he aint mentioning the service from Sony, referring to the other replies...
How are you so uneducated on simple things? This is objectively idiotic, and multipoint would be an easy idea of a way these are better than the Pros, especially if you knew the first thing about wireless audio.

I've had 2 pairs of Sony headphones replaced, with basically no questions asked...never uploaded a receipt, never confirmed a purchase, pretty sure they asked for the serial numbers and that was it. Sent in my old ones, got a brand new pair in the mail, twice. I'm in the USA, so can't say for anywhere else. Hope it's the same with my WH-1000XM5's, love them but I use them literally all day everyday, so just waiting for them to stop working, but they're still going strong.

They recently had to "buyback" mine because of a battery issue. One earbud would start at 100% and literally die after 1 - 1 1/2 hour. Coincidentally it happened after a recent update.

My XM4s were refurbished and died like this. Sony wouldn't help me because they were refurbished.

Pretty much this. Gf gave me the xm4 as a gift batteries wouldn't hold a charge. Charges them for 100% within 10 min battery at 20%. So I left them it's the case the next day they had popped opening up.

I loved my xm4's until suddenly the right side earbud went out with no reason to why. Ao disappointed only had it for 6 months. Fortunately i can return them to sony to get my money back. Ill get these as replacement as i have the AirPods and they suck for working out. I use my airpods only for talking on the phone.

I have 2 pairs of XM4 (both refurb deals) and use them exclusively for working out. Good sound, but one of the cases crapped out (LED no longer lighting up, and case not charging the headphones). SONY wouldn't honor the warranty as I bought these on Ebay, so had to buy a used replacement case. Use Airpods Pro 2 for everything else as they are more comfortable and less bulky for everyday use, and the sound quality and ANC are comparable

I am willing to bet refurbs of XM5 will be out there in a year or so for $99
