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

My XM4s were refurbished and died like this. Sony wouldn't help me because they were refurbished.
Yeah, I found that out with the XM3s and the absolute reason I purchased the XM4s brand new. I wasn't going to get screwed again.

The deal to buy refurbished is always appealing but if you run into a problem, sadly Sony won't assist.

They go on sale periodically. I got mine from a slickdeals post. https://www.complyfoam.com/

Put on an alert for the next deal. I would not buy these for retail, but if you can get a decent price your ears will thank you.

Quote from SmilingHill618 :
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.
i have an issue with the xm4 case's battery being totally shot and unable to hold a charge. how did you get sony to remedy your issues? phone or web link?

I tried the Airpods Pro 2 and hated them. They are not comfortable, do not stay in ears well, and was pretty disappointed with the sound quality.

I have sony WH xm4s (over ear) and have had a wonderful experience with them overall. Prior to these, I was running Sennheiser HD 599/600s, which are a much more expensive and "audiophile" headphone...but I wanted the noise cancelling and wireless option with the Sony's for my work calls, flights, and doing yard work.

I've also had a pair of Shure SE530 that are my go-to for running and other applications for some 12-13 years. They have lots of earbud tip options, my favorite always being the "squishy" foam ones that appear to be similar in the Sony WF xm5. The sound quality on these, for what they are, is amazing. Obviously Shure has made some significant improvements since then, along with other manufacturers.

All this said, I would like to get a pair of wireless earbuds and am leaning towards the Sony WF xm5 due to how much I like the WH xm4, along with the smaller size and weight in this newest iteration. While $200 is a good deal on this, it is still a lot of money. Has anyone here as a similar experience with being unhappy with how the Airpods fit/work and been happy with the Sony? Anyone else also had Shure earbuds that can compare with these?

Quote from Phaenon :
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
This is false, there is a setting on the Headphones app that you need to enable for the "Off" setting. This is great, because I don't need to toggle to off mode when I'm using the touch buttons, just ANC or Ambient mode.

And removing the buds from the case are a non-issue, just pull outwards to the side and it comes right 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...
Tell me you're an Apple Fanboy without telling me you're an Apple Fanboy... LMAO

airpods are terrible. these are a bit better, but not by much.
I'm in the market for some wireless IEMs. Would love to hear what your take is on the best wireless IEMs around the same price range.

Haha airpods pro 2 suck. Huge waste of money.
Let's not be fan boys. I have the 1000xm5 and the AirPod pro 2 and the transparency on the pros are by far the best in anything I have. I love the pros for their transparency alone.

Just sent my refurb XM4 back to Allstate for a warranty claim so I pulled the trigger on the upgrade. Added the $19 Allstate warranty for good measure. Could have just went with credit card warranty extension but just being extra cautious given the fate of the XM4s.

Anyone tried these for gym workouts?

How is the return policy with buydig? Can you send back if they don't fit well?

I use my XM4's every day at the gym and they're great. YMMV depending on how much your ears sweat.

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.
No. No he doesn't.
