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

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...
lol okay

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.
"No reason to why". Sony screwed up a firmware patch and ruined your headphones. They ruined everyone's headphones. I purchased mine from ebay as a refurbished unit and they were about 1 year old. They worked perfect until that update and then the one earbud lost half its battery overnight. I tried sony support but they refused to do anything about it. Anyway no more sony for me, ever.

If you purchased them via secondipity you have warranty from Allstate. Open a warranty claim, and they will refund you thr full purchase amount. There are multiple reports of people getting that refund.

Buy a pair at best buy once and pay for the $70 or so 3 yr bestbuy warranty. Every time a better model comes out, i trade in my headphones for whatever is best at the time and just pay for a new $70 warranty.

A little more expensive initially but these batteries go bad and software updates stop on older models.

If a battery does go bad and you replace it with the same model ive had some best buys pro-rate the warranty into the next warranty meaning however many months are left, they take a % off of adding another warranty. .

Never buying a Sony earbud again. They bricked the xm4 with a software update, keep replacing with more 1hr battery earbuds.

NEVER AGAIN!!!

Bought these a while back at full price… the sound quality I loved over my airpod pro 2… but unfortunately all the ear tips and I even bought 3rd party memory foam tips couldn't for the life of me get a good seal with so anc was garbage. Esp when moving about in the gym… it would just move enough to not create a good seal.

I wanted to love these so bad but bc of the fit I had to return them and keep using my AirPods.

Mine are still going strong after buying the XM4 earbuds from secondipity. They do max out at 92% when "fully charged" on the latest firmware but for as long as I've had them that is to be expected on some level. I am surprised to hear that people had issues with the warranty as I didn't even know about the firmware update issue and a Reddit thread was discussing how Sony would replace the XM4s even out of warranty if you showed proof of purchase.

I haven't decided if I will get these of the Bose when my XM4s do go but for now definitely happy with the $120 I paid for them.

Edit: Here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/sony/com..._warranty/

It does seem like they are finishing up production on the XM4s so they are just refunding people if XM4 replacements aren't available. Still, can't hurt to reach out to Sony at this point and I definitely support a company who will honor a warranty past expiration. I couldn't even get Google to honor a warranty for a product after I sent them a video! Ridiculous.

Wait for open box sale at $100 just like the xm4. Replace the tips and they're practically new.

Lol, you're cute. These have objectively better sound quality than the Airpods Pro 2. Airpods only support AAC, no LDAC.

Do you know what any of that means? The XM5s support bitrate of 990kbps while Airpods Pro 2 support bitrate of 320kbps.
