User reviews

The widget isn't aesthetically pleasing at all. Nor is it useable. Tons of space with tiny text and tiny images. Only 3 x 2 and longer available. No 4 x 2 or 5 x 1. Doesn't tell me info I want so Im constantly opening the full app. Also, too many ads in the app. With how much the XM5 products cost I should NOT get this many ads.

I used to love my WH-1000xm5 and WF-1000xm5s, but now they give me nothing but trouble. The "pair two devices" mode usually stops all audio from coming from one of the devices at random, and just now my headphones turned off unprompted at more then half battery. They take a long time to pair, and will often refuse to hear audio after numerous trials of turning them off and on along with pairing and unpairing them over and over. Pause and unpause unprompted. Repetitive, immersion breaking.

Sony broke the use of these headphones after updating to this app. If you were someone who constantly used the "connect to two devices at the same time" you are aware that sometimes you would have to manually fix the sound to one device. The thing is, it tells you that you aren't connected to those two devices, so you can't exactly toggle between, so now you are stuck not able to hear because it's on the other device.
