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

I just purchased the refurbished one for $180 from Secondipity just 10 hours ago before this deal showed up. Should I cancel that order and buy new. It is nice the refurbished one comes with a 2-year Allstate warranty. Please advise.

Quote from LouieT4012 :
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.
Has the same issue with the XM5's. Try the linkbuds S! They fit so wonderfully and definitely they sound better than the AirPod pros. I can't begin to explain how well they stay put.

How is the speak-to-chat feature on these buds? I love the feature on my XM4s but they take a while to activate. Is it faster on these?

I had this happen with my XM4…


Do you know if they fixed it in the subsequent firmware updates?

I bought the battery replacement kit and replaced left one but might have to do the right one too..

They fixed the battery drain issue with future firmware update but if battery draining quickly after last bad update the battery does need to be replaced (hardware/battery is permanently ruined)

seriously? no offense but Sony, meh... LMAOLMAOLMAO
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...
Yeah, but then you have to use an Apple product...ick.

If it was me, I'd get new. However, that is only my opinion. Don't let anyone sway you with opinion. If they have facts, sure, but opinion is just that. You do you.

Anyone tried these for gym workouts?

How is the return policy with buydig? Can you send back if they don't fit well?
Buydig has always given me great customer service.

These are the best buds on the market
Once you reach flagship level earbuds most are good enough.

I bought these when they came out for the $300 and ended up returning them. Hated the glossy finish. Didn't really care for the foam tips and when I put silicone tips on them they constantly moved around in my ears. I ended up deciding to go with the AirPod Pro gen 2.

100% agree on those slick tips and I had the same problem with multiple silicon tips. They seem to rely entirely on the tip to hold the earbud whereas the AirPod pros sort of slot in and the linkbuds hold securely from the base and the tip.

The xm4 is amazing. If these are improved they're worth it.
They aren't. They've reached a point where they're trying to make them smaller at the expensive of sound quality. The WF-1000XM4 has better sound quality than the XM5.

That's where I jump off the bi-yearly upgrade train until they improve sound quality again. I could care less about the size, the giant XM3 were fine size-wise for me.

I've used all of the premium truly wireless ear bud sets. These are top tier. It punches above its weight class for sure $200 is a good price. I had the xm3's and upgraded to the 4's. Don't feel the need to upgrade to the 5's as the 4's are more than sufficient.

good heaphones but sony fried the battery on mine with firmware update. Basically told it to receive more power than the older batteries could handle.
Yep, you, me, and 1000's ever. And as mine were refurb (but new) when I got them 13 months ago they told me tough shit.

If they ARE out of warranty but you bought them from Sony/Amazon new, contact them for a warranty. They may initially deny, but ask for an escalation and someone should call you back and will likely approve a replacement or repair.
